AGAIN, Which version of events in Superman II is canon? The official theatrical edit, or the official director’s edit? Why does it matter what the studio says?

And ultimately, I say let me enjoy it. I do not enjoy the concept of Padme’s death. It’s stupid. It’s pointless. It cheapens her character. And it doesn’t make sense with the OT in my opinion.

Besides, Adywan once pointed out that there are many, many, MANY cuts of a film that exist before the studio actually decides on the final product. There is a lot of footage on the cutting room floor.
