After looking over doubleofive’s amazing screen shots of the various versions of the film, I begin to wonder why some changes, especially the small ones, are made. I have read through some interviews from GL that explain the pretty major SE changes, mostly due to his vision but limited technology/funding at the time, but what about the other minor changes.

Could anyone direct me to anything that possibly interviews other people besides GL that have say in the changes and the reasoning behind them.

Are there any other Theatrical vs SE debates besides forum discussions and the documentary “The People VS George Lucas” on Netflix available? Any books out there?
