Star Wars: Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Also Star Wars: This.

I don't find the idea of movies/music produced this way appealing at all. Rather see something recast (or new stories told with new characters) versus seeing this done for the sake of safe nostalgia sales.

Perhaps if JEJ feels it is time to step away from the character upon reflection, Disney might do some reflecting as well.

Since the new Star Wars movies aren't canon, it's clear they'll to have to revisit older stories. Especially between Episode 3 and 4. So it's good insurance to get the voice, since Star Wars is and always has been a story about Anakin Skywalker.

When they take a stab at Episodes 7 - 9 again in a few years, they'll probably incorporate Anakin's force ghost more too. Although I suppose they don't need the voice. Might need it for flashback though.

Recreation is an attempt to reshape the history.

History is the information residual form the past events onto various forms of recording, and projected into human brains, forming a collective residual image of the past that causes the nowadays events.

When history can be reshaped, the human collectives would lost its directional momentum because the causes are no longer entirely intact.

God bless us, when our children finally lost their roots...

Yeah, but JJ Abrams had no idea what he was doing so he was being ironical.
