It seems like a pointless topic to raise here of all places, but the problems go well beyond ‘improving’ things if that was ever the true intention. Which is probably wasn’t as most of us already know; George knew about producing and fund raising better than anything else, and a theatrical re-release tied with new effects that used Jurassic Park tech to figure out what could be done in The Phantom Menace was making and saving money all at once.
As stated above there are all kinds of conflicting things he’s said over the many decades, keeping him in the limelight and burying real film history. We have so many threads here about this already and the more he talks the more obvious the lie gets, but Joe Public isn’t that discerning. You can’t even look on IMDB without seeing Episode IV: A New Hope right away despite that not being the right name. They don’t list re-releases and re-iterations as separate entities. Film history is basically gone already at this stage.
