I don't know how to make it more clear to you. Does the term released to the public mean anything to you? What about the VHS and Laserdisc copies I own? Are you saying they are not mine? Did Lucas see no money of that? And what you said about who made the films.

screenplay, the SFX, the editing, the lighting Did George do all that himself? I don't think so.

When I buy a ticket to look at a painting in a museum, who gets the money? Think about it.

And if you think that Star Wars would be alive today without the fans, you are leaving in a fucking dream world. Lets face it, if Lucas quite Star Wars, we would have nothing. He holding on to it like grim death. He can't let it go. Because he has his own enemy. It is now all about money. And that is the wrong reasons.

And then you drop this one: "An artists work is NEVER complete." I guess you believe that unless it's the SE, right? Star Wars is the one piece of art that phrase doesn't apply to?

What the hell are you talking about? Who said the SE's are complete. George did. Then he keeps changing them.

The movie would still exist. Somewhere, the reel would exist. You don't have to make money to be a filmmaker. You have to make movies.

You bought a ticket. You gave money to look at someone else's artwork.

You want to own a movie. Go make one. Instead of bitching about someone else's for years.
