I would love to know how Lucas feels about this! šŸ˜‚

He’s given mixed signs as of late - very defensive of the SEs around Cannes last year, but he also ā€œgave his blessingā€ to the two screenings of the 70mm Academy print in LA, so who knows. Bizarrely, I saw some people on twitter upset that they’re ā€œgoing against George’s visionā€ or whatever. People are so stupid, they don’t even realize they should also respect 1977 George Lucas’ vision. I’m very happy we’re getting more screenings popping up, it does seem like the air is getting clearer for some of these original prints to maybe see the light of day, and then, perhaps as a pipe dream, the potential public release.
