Another use of the gloved hand method (what I call this technique, since I can't really call it a deepfake)
Amazing that this episode came out today, and I'm not even the first to do this.
Personally, I'm not upset that he wasn't de-aged. I'm just glad that we get to see Hayden Christiansen back in Star Wars, and it's OK that it's just his unaltered face. It'd be a little disrespectful if Hayden was only allowed back only if his face was covered by either the Vader mask or deaging. Though it probably would've made more sense if this were Clone Wars era Anakin, maybe while he's undergoing his Jedi trials after AotC.
