Anyway, D0CT0R_W40, I don't think we should get too caught up in proving that Lucas has "lied" or contradicted himself, that's irrelevant. Besides anyone who has given as many interviews as he has will have some inconsistencies, and he is allowed to change his mind. Who cares if he said he was only going to direct one prequel and wound up directing all three? It doesn't matter, we don't even care about the Prequels anyway, we only care about the OT. So, I think we should just stick to our concerns about preserving the original cut of the OT and that's it. We should come at it from a film preservationists perspective. On that note we can and certainly should point out that Lucas used to say that he was concerned with film preservation (like the whole Three Stooges thing for example) and now is trying to bury the original versions of his own films. That's relevant, so it should be pointed out. However, if we just get into a pattern of pointing out Lucas' inconsistencies and contradictions whether they relate to our cause or not, the film will look like an unorganized, rambling, pointless anti-Lucas diatribe. We want to avoid that. We need to be VERY focused on our objective here.
Our objective: Educating Star Wars and film fans about the plight of the original versions of the OT and creating in the viewer a desire to watch these original versions, preserve them and own a digital copy of them. This will hopefully lead to an active fan demand and outcry that hopefully Lucas can not ignore which in the best-case scenario would result in Lucas relenting and releasing the original versions of the OT on DVD, and hopefully on all subsequent dominant video formats.
The tone we should take when pointing out a Lucas hypocrisy (such as the stooges example) is dissappointment and sadness, the first stage of emotion when your hero dissappoints you. We should not take an angry, abusive, insulting tone towards Lucas, because that is not exactly going to make him want to please us and it may turn off SW fans who don't mind the changes, casual SW fans and the like who, if given a choice would like to have the original OT on DVD.
