Spaced Ranger, don't forget ... page 49 ...
Oh yeah ... thanks for that reminder. My comment was only in regard to the U.S. releases (I'll edit in the "U.S." mention). Bizarro-world isn't limited to there. :)
I think George Lucas tinkers because he had only a few ideas (nothing wrong with that, BTW) and there's nothing else to do but fix and tweak and add and remove bits and pieces of his work. Was it in Star Wars: Empire Of Dreams? It ended with Lucas bemoaning that his wildly successful films were more from other people's talents than from his. That's probably why he's always saying he wants to get back to doing "small films" -- translation: his films. Oh well, with yet another release of Star Wars, the resulting space-bucks will sooth that hurt. ;)
He also said (same documentary?) it was agony for him to write his films -- he "bleeds on the page" was how he put it. LOL! I know the feeling. It takes me forever to finish these posts! (I wonder why?)
