Lucas won. He has essentially rewritten history. Most don’t even know about the changes and of those who do know, not all of them care. I’m thankful for the fan preservation efforts for my own use, but the other part of the effort was to preserve an essential piece of cultural history for the future. I think the only way that happens to a significant enough extent is an official release similar to Blade Runner: Final Cut, and I don’t see that happening. I’d like to know people could easily revisit what was. I just wish someone would straightforward ask about it. The silence is deafening.
