Did he tell you that? Can you honestly say to me that the man behind the prequel trilogy, the man who considers filmmaking just shooting in front of a blue screen with two cameras, as a sincere filmmaker? I want you to watch thx and American grafitti, then the prequels, and tell me the difference. The short answer is that there is none.
He wants to destroy the theatrical cuts of star wars, empire, and Jedi. That's why we're here.
