Also i forgot the damn film should have never been changed since Marquand directed it and Lucas decides to change it after his death, talk about a bad decision.

Changing someones elses film after they can no longer disagree with the changes or defend their work, spells class.

I also worry about the future of empire strikes back, since Kersh is no longer around to stop him making ridiculous changes, he approved the minor changes in 1997, i doubt he knew about changing Boba Fetts voice to Jango Fetts in 2004.  Not sure he would approved of that change. Or perhaps since he was a director work for hire, even though Lucas promised no meddling and final cut, maybe Kersh knew in the end it was Lucas film and he could not stop any changes or maybe he did not care.

The only film Lucas by his own words should have had a right to change is star wars.  He believes it is the directors prerogative to go back and reinvent a movie, he did not direct empire and jedi.  His belief that a studio or some other should not change the film of an artist or director is humorous since he went and did the same thing he spoke out against.
