All i have told them is that Lucas maybe in trouble with film preservation groups,
Just got one back form Leonard Maltin
"Hi...?? I'm sorry I don't have any influence over George
Lucas' decisions on how he releases his movies on DVD. I know you are just one
of many fans who've been upset over this, so surely his staff is aware of the
outcry.??cheers,? Leonard "
I said '
just thought you would of been interested, and found it concerning that
Lucas may of actually destroyed a piece of cinema history.
But maybe you are just one of many film reviewer that don't care?
Lucas could be in trouble for destroying the
original 1977 prints of star wars and editing over the top of them with his
inferior S.E
So in the future he will have big problems with film preservation
organizations, like AFI.
Film preservationists are strictly against altering classic films, and George Lucas has said that the original trilogy
can't be put on a DVD in anamorphic film because essentially the films
supposedly "don't exist" anymore. Hearing that will piss the
preservationists off to no end.
Lucas destroyed them when he made his Special editions.
Edition that were not needed.'
