It's a pretty weird situation. Would this documentary (and the sentiment behind it) even exist if it wasn't for this dumb policy about the old versions? A policy that really has only fully existed since 2004? (before that you could still get either version only on tape or laser so they were basically still on equal footing).

The prequels and the special editions would still have their fans and non-fans but I don't think Lucas would be catching this level of controversy. People may not even know why they find the guy as off-putting as they do, he's not the only guy who's made lesser sequels. Maybe it's because you really have to be a billionaire to have the power to deprive so many people of a simple pleasure (like watching an old movie). The simple shit is really important to the rest of us slobs, george.
