Anyway eDroj, my point simply remains that when you add additional stuff into a movie that was not in existence before, you are crating a new movie. Be it just one frame, or part of a frame - it is something new that you've inserted. Zion has agreed his version can't be called an "original trilogy", he also said he will be outlining the differences and that people who come by his set will be aware of these differences. And he said he will release an unaltered original trilogy - so he is doing the right thing. Zion also seemed to agree with my definition that you must use only material made prior to the theatrical release for it to be original.

MBJ refuses to acknowledge any of this. And he still doesn't want to admit that if he signed the petition to have the unaltered trilogy released then it is hypercritical of him to then not release the unaltered trilogy himself. That it is saying "Do as I say, not as I do" - and that he is like Lucas in that he wants to be able to make the changes he wants, and expects everyone else to be fine with it.

THAT is my argument. Forget the strawmen MBJ has come up with, that's all I've been arguing. I know there are people here who do agree with me. MBJ says, and continues to say that there are not. He is saying this to make my side seem stupid to believe in. Just like what happened to Pos and Fleischmann. Although anyone who actually listened to them knew that they didn't claim to have discovered cold fusion, and that they were simply commenting on their observations - "the other side" made up of people who experimented with multi-million dollar fusion equipment said they could not reproduce the results and that it was a fraud. They got the government on their side, and so who listened to Pons and Fleischmann?
