Sadly, they used an SE shot from Star Wars. 😕
I expect better from TCM.
Well, they do show the revised THX 1138. I’d rather they not show it at all than pretend they’re showing the original version.
The editor of the piece may simply not know it’s an SE shot. To a non-fan, the new Death Star battle shots aren’t as glaringly obvious as other alterations to the movie. Some people at Lucasfilm don’t even know an SE shot when they see one now. An SE shot crept into one of the Rinzler books.
This is what happens when a director rewrites his own history.
