2- I remember reading about this film festival where they picked one movie from each decade, and they chose star wars to represent the 70s, and Lucasfilm didn't allow they to show the original version as they intended, only the SE version. My question is: did they ever get a copy of the original version film? If they did, couldn't we fans, by one way or another, make copies of that film? I know it's kinda illegal, I'm sure the original trilogy is also under copyrights laws, even not "existing anymore", but... it would be symbolic. Like... kidnapping the original film, and saying it would not be returned, and we would make copies of it, until they choose to listen to our demands. There would be a lot of publicity, and the average people, who dosen't even know there are differences between the 2 movies, would agree and come to our side.
3- ...or we could wait the 75 years until the original movie becomes public domain. In 2052 the party begins!
