I'm sorry, but I think that time and knowledge has proven that Lucas's "original vision" isn't worth jack...

i'm talking about the pre-special edition/prequel lucas

I was talking about Lucas the person, period...
(including before the Special Editions and Prequels came out)

This is true. Did anyone hear about his original cut of SW? Sounded awful... Fortunately at the time he wasn't surrounded by yes men.

I don't know about his first CUT, but here's an analysis of his first DRAFT. Granted, it's a first draft, but I'm willing to bet that had he been the famous George Lucas of today, this dud would have been filmed with very few rewrites.

Being surrounded by yes men is murder for any artist. (Especially one as fickle and inconsistent as Lucas.)
