What if we ran a full page ad with a standard black and white star field background, with yellow text.
Have it read:
"American works of art belong to the American public; they are part of our cultural history... In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be "replaced" by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten."
--George Lucas, 1988
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the [Special Edition] version."
--George Lucas, 1997
THE FANS WANT THE ORIGINALS
"(In the future) theres going to be no more digital enhancements or digital additions to anything based on any film I direct. Im not going to do any corrections digitally to even wires that show...I think letting movies exist in the era, with all the flaws and all of the flourishes, is a wonderful way to mark time and mark history."
--Stephen Spielberg, 2011, Ain't It Cool
"I would have to answer that officially, it's never going to happen... obviously, I have my own personal feelings, I hope (George Lucas) does (release the original unaltered trilogy)."
--Rick McCallum, 2012, Collider
