Amazing job with the thread!

Concerning Lucas’s “revisions”, I don’t think there is an inherent problem with the guy changing his opinion on Star Wars. As time goes on he is going to change his opinions, this is fine by me as long as it does not get out of hand. This is why I am fine with JK Rowling’s recent changes… but that’s another debate…

The problem starts when Lucas refuses to release to provide the original versions. Fans should be allowed to choose what version of the movie or story they want to watch, just like Lucas gets to choose what he wants. Who knows? Maybe some people like the special editions. The should be allowed to remain. But we should also have access to the versions so many people fell in love with in 1977.

In the past, the concept of releasing all different versions simulations sounded financially foolish… and well confusing to consumers. BUT streaming services could be the answers. Maybe under the movie, there could be a selection where you choose which version you want to see. I think this would be a great solution that satisfies everyone.
