Lucas also bizarrely attacked Christopher Nolan for shooting on film. Doesn’t Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams also shoot on film?

As for the Kennedy interview you wouldn’t be altering the films, the OT before the special edition existed for 20 years. With the exceptions with the A New Hope edition redone starfield, redone credits, different sound mixes and Empire having a different 70mm premier cut. But when people say original they mean before all the cgi shit was added, as Phil Tippet said.
