Criterion tried to get their hands on THX-1138 but could only get the special edition version of that too. Also with the whole thing about JJ Abrams wanting the unaltered OT, they told him “its just not possible”. But c’mon JJ, you just directed 2 star wars films directly tied to the OT. He should’ve done more investigation and put more effort into changing things. He was just acting so nonchalant about the whole thing. I’m pissed, this is probably Fox’s fault where the rights are being held hostage, or its something as simple as Kathleen Kennedy wanting to respect George’s wishes by only showing the films the way he “wants people to remember them.” But we can argue about that for days. I saw this interview with Kathleen Kennedy on YouTube by some fan who asked her about the Unaltered OT, and she literally had no idea what he was talking about. I’ll see if I can find the link. I pray to god doubleofive’s article comes up at a board meeting in Lucasfilm.
