I just can’t understand the mentality behind making that kind of change. George really thought it was worth changing a wipe to a cut for the DVD, and then changed it back for the Blu-ray. What the actual fuck? Did he honestly think that there is anyone, anywhere on the face of the entire planet who would care about this? Did he really think it added to or took away anything from the film at all? True insanity. I honestly believe he has a legitimate obsessive-compulsive disorder or something, there is no other explanation.
Don’t try to understand GL’s thinking, you’ll just go as insane as him. After witnessing some of the 1997 alterations and then the 2004 revisions: designed to make the OT fit the PT’s continuity, instead of writing the PT to work vice versa, I started having suspicions. However it was when he claimed during an interview that Han was always meant, all along to shoot second, instead of first, that I had to conclude madness has consumed him.
