This is a little offtopic, but who gave Lucas the right to mess with Episodes V & VI for the "special edition's" in the first place? Last time I checked V was directed by Irvin Kershner, and VI was directed by Richard Marquand(who is deceased). Granted is the fact that Georgie wrote the whole story and produced(etc. etc.), but he only directed IV. I'm curious as to what Kershner and Marquand(if he was still alive) would think about his tampering with the films to the extent he has. I don't know, but something about the whole aspect of going back and messing with films years after their release really irks me. A "director's cut" is one thing, but what Lucas is doing is just plain wrong in my view. He's taken it to a whole new level.
