To bring it back, Because I heard that even though he sold it he still had a say regarding the original trilogy and that they wouldn’t release the originals. So I don’t know what caused the sudden shift since he isn’t dead yet.
I think it is because of the museum. He is trying to preserve a lot of people’s works and it would be very VERY hypocritical to do all of this but to still keep his foot down on his own work.
