Does anyone find it weird that the 2011 versions of the OT are still shown on TV? I hardly ever watch stuff live any more, and it’s even rarer for me to suffer George’s changes, but I found recently it wasn’t the Macklunkey version. Or does Disney keep the “definitive” version to themselves?
Glad I wasn’t the only one to notice ITV showing the 2011 cuts for the Original Trilogy. Very weird - maybe from a ‘digital pack’ they had from years ago, so they just lazily re-ran that - and not the new 2019 ‘Maclunkey’ cuts?
I think they were available to watch on ITVX throughout December too - with Rogue One.
Although accuracy and attention to detail has never ITV’s strong point…
😉
It reminds me of when they re-released Star Wars (1977) in some cinemas around Europe around 2020 - some cinemas were showing the 2011 cuts, some were showing the 2019 cuts - and many of the cinemas didn’t seem to know which version they were showing.
