I Grew up with the original cuts of the films, and the fact that he thinks they are no good is like a slap in the face to everybody old enough to have seen them in theaters or their original video releases. The fact is it is the original cuts that are on the afi list not the special editions, and the original cut of star wars made a domestic gross of over 400 million dollars in 1977 amercan dollar values. He claims that the original negatives no longer exist. Not only that, but it is a grave disrepect not to preserve the work of the original model builders, effects artists, etc.
