Watched it now.
The part where George says he didn't "experience" Star Wars like everyone else going to the cinema knowing nothing about it, made me think that's gotta be one big reason why he doesn't understand the importance of preserving the originals.
He's spent so much time focusing on his "vision" that the experience itself has been ignored.
Of course he didn't experience it like the rest of us, that's the way things work when you're the creator of such a behemoth. But anyone sane enough wouldn't try to fight against the people who admire your work, he mentioned it in the interview himself, "it became a cultural phenomenon" This asshole is on the board of directors for The Film Foundation, (how is that even possible) he knows very well what he's doing, I wonder if the other members do. It's impossible to like this person nowadays, he is so full of himself, it's ridiculous.
