Can somebody repost GL's statement about his contempt for the colorization of black and white films? What were the films that he was defending and why does it seem like no one talks about it anymore. If you know a website that contains this, I would like to see it also.
Because its old news.
We came we saw we bashed we moved on. Seriously though that was like three years ago and theres only so many times you can make the same point and have everyone go "yeah I agree."
You can find that Lucas quote here:
http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/specials/how-the-grinch-stole-star-wars.php
The quote by Lucas was:
“I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them,”
It should be revised like this to refer to what he actually stands for in reference to the original star wars trilogy.
“I am very deliberate in rewriting our national heritage, and I am very adamant that the films that you watched when you were young and the films that you watched throughout your life are destroyed, so that your children can never see them".
Looks like he is even more gone that i thought. link here: http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/movie-news/george-lucas-on-indiana-jones-v.php

HA! If we read this quote carefully, we can realize that Lucas is not a hypocrite at all. "I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them."
Notice he doesn't use "we", "us", "you", or "everyone" in this sentence. He only uses the terms "I" and "my". So, he doesn't care about the films you watched when you were young (such as Star Wars) or the films you watched throughout your life, and he doesn't care if your children get to see them or not. Star Wars does not fit into Lucas' equation because he didn't watch it when he was a child or throughout his life time, he merely made it. Besides, his kid's can watch the OOT in fantastic quality anytime they want, their daddy's got connections.
So, I just proved the irrelevence of this Lucas quote.
Everyone knows I am joking around right? Good, just checking.

Good, by the time I got to the bottom, I was ready to tell you something I was gonna regret.

Do you know where Lucas was at the time when he made that statement?
