Star Wars-the special edition-1981
With all the talk of JAWS/RAIDERS/Spielberg this week, and the concept of a Dumb Special Edition originating with Spielberg, it's interesting to ponder what a SE of Star Wars would have been if Lucas had really followed the Close Encounters example and done it for '81 or '82. Would he have cut anything out or back in like CE3K did? (I never bought the notion that he'd been pining away for many wistful years to get Jabba in there). I think it would have been limited to Landspeeder stuff and some redone X-Wing shots done on the level of JEDI's motion control work. And it probably would have been pretty bitchin'.
