lucas quote " I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie."

I bolded and inderlined the important part.

See this is pretty much the proof that during the making of the special edition he set out to reboot the universe from scratch even without reshooting the original trilogy.

Star Wars 1977 did not need to be reinvented it was a masterpiece and a near perfect movie, the genius editing and score made do with what little budget lucas had at the time to tell a narrative that was free of cynicism and was a purely joyful experience to watch, and just a good amount of fun.

Why change a film that everyone loved for generations, well anybody but Lucas that is.

How nuts is it to make a film that changed cinema, brought back fun to the movies and think it is shit. It is crazy to hate something that you yourself made that resonated with generations of the young and old. Was star wars just a happy mistake for its fans and an unhappy moment in time for george?

He had every right to recompose his universe and characters, it was even somewhat interesting hearing how lucas was going to mold and shape all six films into a grand cohesive saga, the idea and the execution of said idea are different though because it was rendered poorly, his metaphor or story was confusingly put on film and video and made less sense than it did as an idea.

I have no problems as long as Lucas who claims he champions historical film preservation has the originals preserved for all time, as he said as an artifact of how it was but not how he wanted it.

I have always championed Lucas as a genius and stood up for him when people have claimed he was a dumb moron and hack, i still think he is a once in a generation genius like Thomas Eddison.

He has nothing to really be ashamed of he made his films on his own terms and he is happy with the finished product, great for him, bad for the fans.
