That’s a bit harsh. One can be unaware of what version they’re watching without being a moron.
Agreed. At some point, Star Wars is new to people–and new people are born every day. Today, the Special Edition Trilogy has been the only commercially available version to watch longer than the Star Wars Trilogy ever was. You can’t blame people for watching the crappy version and thinking it’s the real thing. Yeah, it’s technically ignorance, but it’s not like informed choice was ever part of the equation. Same for colorized films, etc. If it’s the only version on Netflix, it’s effectively the only version.
