The strangest thing is George Lucas promised Kershner final cut on Empire. The Special Edition is going back on his word and changing a film he didn’t direct. Worse on Return of the Jedi Richard Marquand was dead and couldn’t be consulted or asked. Only on the first film did he have a right as the director to change the movie. Still should have preserved the original for posterity.
