I don't think for a minute that Lucas will give them a '77 print.
What may happen if they get enough complaints, is that they list the film as the "1997 special edition" rather than falsely listing it as the "1977" version.
Lucas wants to pretend the 1977 version didn't exist. I want people who go to that screening KNOW that what they're about to see is NOT the original version of the film, the 1977 version DID exist and it is being suppressed!
How long does it take to send an email? Thirty seconds?
Something simple will suffice:
Dear AFI,
Regarding your 40th anniversary screening of "Star Wars (1977)", is it actually the 1977 version that will be shown or the 1997 Special Edition?
If you will be screening the 1997 Special Edition, the your advertisements stating that the 1977 version of Star Wars will be shown are misleading.
