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?
I can't see why he is like that. If I had created something like Star Wars I would be sitting with a fat smile on face and my arms crossed. I would be so proud of myself. Whenever I do something that people love it gives me a high unlike anything. As a musician and an artist I get tickled to death when somebody says wow that's good. If I created something like that I would try my damnedest to preserve it. And to keep it alive for generations to generations. If I created Star Wars I would transmit it to space and say that it actually happened LOL watch out ET. I would want my children to enjoy it the way I enjoyed it. A good film will last forever regardless of if it looks dated or not. Star Wars has this lasting effect. After I watch Star Wars I wanna watch it again and again. I just wish it was treated as well as other timeless classics.
