has anyone seen this before? It mentions in the article something about how Lucas had a contract with Fox that included a stipulation that original prints of the unaltered versions were to be destroyed. Is this article real, or is it exaggerating or joking? I honestly am never sure what to believe anymore when it comes to George Lucas, but if Disney now owns Lucasfilm then Fox and Disney wouldn't do any of that anymore right? Also, this piece written on savestarwars.com talked about how Lucas refused to send the Library of Congress any prints but the SE's for SW and ESB, but now that Disney owns Lucasfilm would they have sent in prints for preservation at the Library of Congress, or does it still belong to Lucasfilm? I'd imagine Disney would send the original unaltered films in for preservation at the LOC because they aren't insane people who hate film as an art form, but I don't know. It's all very confusing
