Lucas it a moron and is not in reality the man is insane or competely ego driven.
i'm going to keep the eternal search going for the film prints and some day maybe i'll have enough money to buy the original versions on film and a anamorphic projector to watch the original versions in better quality than the gout. my only other hope is the X-0 project.
i used to be one of Lucas biggest fans and supporters before 1997. now he can burn in hell for all i care for destroying the films i grew up with and love.
i just wish more people in hollywood and the movie business were more vocal. put advertisements in cinefex and american cinematographer to protest the original versions not being restored.
the people in france were outraged by the gout and the upscaled ntsc to pal transfer and non anamorphic. they should have kicked lucas ass out of cannes and not allowed him back until he restores the versions that made him famous.
Lucas has so much money power and influence that even his closest friends, former employees and friends, etc. are affraid to appose him or expose the lying tyrant he is.
Kershner and kurtz as well as kasden should vocally appose him on the issue. where is the former marcia lucas, or even mark hamill who supposedly prefers the original versions. where are the effects artists matte painters and others whos work is being shit all over by lucas.
i guess to remain in the business they kiss his ass, and don't want any bad blood. Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, John Stears, john dyktsra should have gone toe to toe with the bastard.
instead of honest producers and collaborators telling lucas the special editions and prequels are shit you have puke yes men who keep him in his bubble of lies about being a genius and everything he produces is gold.
the critics can often be wrong yet the best way for a writer in the business of writing books is to have constructive criticism to make the end product better and an editor. seems to me some in the business of making movies need the same.
the biggest lost to Lucas and the star wars films as a whole his divorce in 1983 from marcia lucas she is the one who kept him grounded and gave star wars a humanism it is bereft of without her.

And that is the kind of response that I don't get at all. "Lying tyrant", "bastard", "burn in hell", "moron", "insane".... geez, thanks for taking a civilized discussion and turning it into another TfN basher sanctuary bible verse.
On another note, looks like the AFI web site changed the title... looks like the emails worked.
