Just why is he so tenacious about keeping these films under wraps?
Did he accidentally slip a map to his buried treasure into a single frame? If you play it backwards, does it reveal the recipe for the elixir of immortality?
What the hell is going on in this man's head?!
I think he wants to be known as the first filmmaker in modern times to destroy a film before our very eyes. The OT is inextricably linked with GL's obsessive-compulsive revisionist behavior, and the sad fact that has developed over the years is that The films we saw in 77-80-83 are not gonna last physically like every other film made. I don't know why GL wants to hurt his fans so much, but no one could have expected the nadir we are all in, not even a year ago. It will be a matter of time when we are sunk into a new seeming pit; maybe GL will show us burning the original negatives: why not? He has billions of dollars, and can just bypass any law he finds inconvenient. It is also a matter of time that he will recall every copy from private collectors and film institutes around the world and just smash them to pieces. Think that's far-fetched? WE didn't expect Darth Vader to say NOOOO at the end of the new version of ROTJ, and we didn't expect this saddening news about the lack of new prints in the LOC. What pisses me off the most is that is that I can't live without these movies, and yet I cannot have them.
