Most people comment anti-disney and a little bit of George Lucas when it comes to these Star Wars Films.

Sorry if I change subject, but I’m addressing the original thread about the original theatrical versions…which have NEVER been given to us in the digital age.

The most pertinent issue never addressed is one in which George Lucas himself seemed to see “purity” in a very old film by the stooges in black and white, but never seemed to see such purity in his own films. I think this should be much more common knowledge, and prove Lucas is a hack…

“In 1983, Hal Roach Studios became one of the first studios to venture into the business of computerized film colorization. Buying a fifty percent interest in Wilson Markle’s Colorization Inc, it began creating digitally colored versions of some of its films. Roach’s Topper and Way Out West (both 1937) became the first black-and-white films to be redistributed in color using the digital colorization process,leading to controversy. Defenders of the process noted that it would allow black-and-white films to have new audiences of people who were not used to the format. Detractors complained (among other reasons) that the process was crude and claimed that even if it were refined, it would not take into account lighting compositions chosen for black-and-white photography which would not necessarily be as effective in color. Figures opposed to the process included Roger Ebert, James Stewart, John Huston, George Lucas and Woody Allen.” [should quote source… I think wikipedia but not sure]

But Lucas changes EVERYTHING about his original film. Total BS and the pot calling the kettle black. Therefore we will never see the original star wars in a theatre. What a jerk.
