Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda saidIt makes no difference which version of the film I or anyone else"prefers". The original theatrical versions won seven academy awards including editing and special effects. Changing the editing and the special effects while not allowing a decent release of the award-winning versions creates an unprecedented historical artistic void that could and should be rectified.
Totally. I don't know how the superfans always manage to turn this issue into their own self involved blogging. "Dear Diary, I personally like most of the changes, most of them don't bother me, I never saw the original so big deal etc." The hell does that have to do with preservation of a piece of pop art, (to say nothing of the revisionism happening to the work of two directors who are now dead)
