The Director's Cut was obviously done because at the time, every single theatrical re-release had to follow the Star Wars SE model and redo special effects with CGI or pad the running time with deleted scenes.

Directors like Forman, William Friedkin, Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg, who approved the original released versions of Amadeus, The Exorcist, Superman and E.T., suddenly decided they "always wanted" to include scenes which they were perfectly fine with cutting 20-30 years before.

I'm still not sure how much of it was the directors indulging their whims because they could, and how much of it was studio executives insisting "It doesn't matter if it's a new restoration on a big screen, nobody will see it if it's the same version they can watch on video!" (And before anyone points out that Superman didn't get a theatrical re-release, it was originally supposed to, but WB got cold feet after one lukewarm test screening.)

I would welcome a reconstruction of the theatrical cut. Also, could you put the Orion logo from the original theatrical version back at the front, in place of the anachronistic modern Warner Bros. logo?
