The blurb…
‘“Inside The Star Wars Empire: A Memoir” by Bill Kimberlin. My twenty years working for George Lucas and the third of the original Star Wars series…“Return of the Jedi.” This is the inside story.’
^ A most intriguing watch - especially around 8 minutes in - with Bill Kimberlin talking about that George didn’t want a duplicate master of the prints made for the Original Trilogy before work started on the 1997 Special Edition… that the 1997 Special Edition was, according to Lucas, “this is going to be original version - what I am doing now” (aka ‘The Final Cut’ as later described by George).
Bill Kimberlin does also later state there are other prints of the unaltered theatrical version of the Original Trilogy still in existence.
There are also some quality and rarely seen photos featuring in this video - well worth a viewing.
Bill Kimberlin comes across as a very interesting guy - his book “Inside The Star Wars Empire: A Memoir” is probably a decent read too…
