If Lucas had not taken his side line in toys to the forefront of the saga with Jedi,

if he hadn't botched up the special editions and worsened them with the DVDs, if he had given us a perfect restored transfer of the OUT, if he had made the prequels as compelling story based films which fitted into the narrative of the originals seamlessly,

would we be here discussing the ethics of film preservation?

Would we be stretching out imagination trying to make the square pegs fit into these round holes he has made?

The chosen one might have had to have turned to the Dark Side so that we can redeem him.
