The Flanneled One was thusly quoted:
Quote
"I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them," said Star Wars creator George Lucas, who doesn’t mind tinkering with his own classics for special edition re-releases.
So you see, he actually believes that we’re doing what’s right, protecting our childhood memories, preserving film history and national (galactic?) heritage, not just for ourselves but for our children.
