Whether someone likes a movie is ultimately so irrelevant to the actual lies, deceit, and suppression of film history that the man does on a daily basis.

It's like saying you hate Al Capone, but the reason is you don't like how he dances. It might be true, but aren't you missing the point?

 

 

That's a pretty concise conclusion. So here is one major fan project with public attention and like the first X-Wing wave in NEW HOPE it misses the target.

The entire film preservation debate is much more worthy of a documentary as it concerns a general topic (and I'm not thinking of George Lucas exclusively but also Ridley Scott who's developed a strange infatuation of colorizing his films blue) and truly questions the ethical rights the artists or the audiences should have.

It's a good thing we have savestarwars.com and SOUTH PARK's episode Free Hat but obviously that's not enough, as according to a poster at Amazon.com Lucasfilm has just reconfirmed that the upcoming Blu-rays will only contain the special editions plus "additional edits"...
