WOW. Does he actually believe half the crap that he says?
If you look at Blade Runner, it’s been cut sixteen ways from Sunday and there are all kinds of different versions of it. Star Wars, there’s basically one version — it just keeps getting improved a little bit as we move forward.
Well if you look at Ridley Scott he hates making changes to his films. He only did Alien "Director's Cut" because they told him they were making an extended version for the Quadrilogy DVD and he didn't want that. Unlike Lucas he doesn't get to be the producer as well as the director; Lucas has no argument because he's the producer so he has the final say on the final cut of the thatrical version! He only made the Blade Runner "Final Cut" because it's what fans wanted; and all the changes were respectful. You didn't see him trying to replace all the repeated elements like the neon signs and those stupid pillars that give away to a vgetran audience that all they did to make a "new street" was move around the objects on it! You don't suddenly have Zora shooting first because Harrison Ford isn't a "cold blooded killer". Oh and by the way, they released all 5 versions including the Workprint that was never originally intended for public distribution and only existed to the public through illegal trading of bootlegs!!!!
Plus, Scott has made soooo many more good movies than Lucas did.
Maybe he can improve Indy 4 for us by inserting imperial stormtroopers riding dewbacks?
