But will they be able to see? See the movie that was, in its time, the largest cinematic phenomena ever? That movie ... "Star Wars" of 1977 ... a historical artifact. Not Star Wars:A New Hope:The Special Edition of 1997, 2004 or later.
When I study film, I don't get a colorized and revamped version of Citizen Kane or The General. I get to study film history by viewing film history, and not revisionism.
It would be quite the shame for the 'youth of tomorrow' to only be able to read about Star Wars.
