He would recognize the old Anakin because, after Vader killed the Emperor, Luke removed the dying Vader's helmet so that Anakin could see Luke "with his own eyes". This is the only time that Luke would have ever seen his father's face, and so this is what should be in the ghost scene.
As others have pointed out, with other examples, you don't know what you are talking about.
But I'll go ahead and put a plug in for my favorite private conservation group, the Elk Foundation whose efforts I support through my membership and donations via the North American Hunting Club.
Since its inception in 1984, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's volunteers, members and supporters have conserved more than 3.8 million acres of these favorite places. But we have to do more. And we are!
Launched in 2001, the "Pass It On" campaign is on track to conserve 2 million additional acres by 2005. But we must move quickly. Each day, thousands of acres of wildlife habitat are being consumed by subdivision, urbanization, sprawl and land-use changes. And, in the West -- the heart of elk country -- human populations are growing at twice the national rate! The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is identifying the most critical remaining wildlife habitat, working with willing landowners, and moving quickly to make sure that future generations will always have a place to hunt, fish, hike, or just enjoy a moment of outdoor solitude.
Except that you get into the problem that we have now, with the Swift Boat Vets, and MoveOn.org. Campaign donation limits were instituted, so now "non-affiliated" groups collect donations and buy advertising that is no longer allowed to the "official" campaign.
If you try to institute a spending limit, first you would have to place a time limit for the spending... say maximum of $50 million in the 90 or 180 days prior to the election. Then the first elegible day, you would see Strongbad and Cartman screaming the name of the candidate over-and-over in a commercial until $50 million in advertising dollars was used up, paid for by the opposition. Then for the remaining time until the election that candidate couldn't spend any more money on "advertising" because it was already done for him.
Besides, I'm currently drunk.

Given the MS's reputation I truly hate to say this, but if this is what MCE 2004 really is, then I'm a potential customer
Obviously drunk. And not only will he wake up in the morning with a DRM'd DVR, but the woman sleeping on his arm will be really ugly.

That's why I always loved watching Ben Stein. The payouts were smaller, but the fact that the host was competing against, and regularly beating, the contestants was great.
I disagree with more than 60% of the stated policies and ideas of both of the two main candidates in the upcoming presidential election. There is no way to split a vote and give 10% here for an idea I agree with, 20% there for a different candidate with an idea I agree with, etc. When I cast my vote, whoever it is for, that person/party will happily spin my vote (along with all of the others they get) as a "mandate" from the people. They will claim that my vote for their person shows that I am 100% behind that person's ideas and ideals.
For decades, I have voted for the person that closest approached my views, the "lesser of two evils", and for decades I have watched both major parties drift farther and farther from my ideals. Now, for the first time, both parties are so far from my beliefs that there is no "lesser" of the evils. Both are tragedies in the process of inevitably happening. If you cast your vote for anyone whose ideals or methods you disagree with more than you agree with, you are not only wasting your vote, but you are increasing the divide between your ideals and those of whatever party you vote for, even faster.
Not voting at all is disrepectful and counter productive. The disrespect part is jingoist at best, but the counter productive part is the essential key. By disenfranchising yourself you are catering to the power brokers that really would prefer that only a select, gullible, few need to be appeased to get the power they want. By spoiling your ballot, or even better voting for a candidate that best supports your ideals, even if that person has no chance of winning, you are at least making a tiny dent in the impervious wall of incumbancy of ideas.
You think it took until it was made open to the public for the first porn was available? You obviosly don't know how boring it could be sitting and feeding punch cards in... Go ASCII pr0n! Woohoo...
I could see new editions if they would just fix the errors in the old edition. Instead each edition seems to be more error prone, and less proof read than the previous one. I had a Calculus book that had 50 pages of errata and corrections to be downloaded.
It pretty bad when the professor spends an entire lecture trying to explain a homework problem that no one could get the correct answer on, only to discover that the information given in the problem was incorrect, or incomplete.

You're right, my bad. I was still thinking Star Wars. Guess I might blame it on too much caffeine. I really should stop drinking coffee earlier in the day.
Gotta disagree with you here. The making of and behind the scenes documentaries included with the extended edition DVDs were absolutely the best part of the release. I've actually watched the parts on the filming of Helm's Deep, and the creation/use of the Massive graphics engine more times than I've watched the movies.

So what we really need to be doing, when the human varient is detected, is to cull the herd?
As far as I can tell from the polical ads I've seen this summer, those are our choices, or they may be running-mates... it gets so confusing.

Yes, because we all know how effective bans on Nazi paraphenalia have been at getting rid of the ideas.
I wish I could make that my sig line.
