I don’t quite get how high definition is an alteration but okay. What, do they think the original films were shot on vhs or something? That’s a common misconception that bugs the crap out of me with ignorant people, that hi def is a new thing. Sure it’s new for HOME MEDIA but films have always been made at a high resolution, or whatever the analog term for that would be.
I have never seen this misconception except in the case of Star Wars. It’s baffling that it keeps being repeated.
Not sure where it comes from.
I know where it comes from: stupidity.
