These things only ever matter when Somone makes a bad decision.
Incorrect. It always matters when the original is suppressed.
There are many films with valid reasons why the original should be preserved
No. Not “many.”
ALL.
Again, THIS MENTALITY IS DANGEROUS. This is how history gets erased.
The Creator has provided his vision of the film he wants to show you.
This is a fairly unique situation and I think George likes the fact he can and will do what “He wants” with them (his films).
You can either accept this vision that he currently has or watch the fan preservations of the originals.
That is it in a nutshell unless you can somehow get him to change his mind on it all.
And you know think about that Storm Trooper Riding on the dewback. George Likes it but he feels it’s not good enough. You need to pair that lobby card with the Special Edition and make the man realise we liked it for the original creature effects people respected how it was done. It was brilliantly executed but the courage to show it in close up was not enough.
But when you look at the Cgi horribleness and the lobby card creature effects the Lobby card wins everytime. You know and I know why George liked it.
Remind him why Star wars was so good not complain and go on and on.
Call this out and say well we only wanted to see the original creature effects not Cgi ones. But we agree It looked good shame we never got to see them close up we envy you 😃You really, really, really don’t understand the core purpose of this website, do you?
Preservation.
Of.
Film.
History.
He can have his “director’s cut” and none of us would care, if he did what almost every other director has done and made the originally released version available alongside his preferred version.
It’s fucking baffling to me that I have to explain this super basic thing to a longtime member of this site.
It does not require that tone to make your point I already said I agree that the originals should be made available.
Why don’t you take that sort of tone with George or Spielberg see how far it get’s you…
This is probably why you just get ignored. I am not going to take offence though to your comment but I simply will now assume any contradictory position with that sort of attitude.
Perhaps it is all about changing the attitude when you want something. Because that attitude will get you nowhere.
