This is so excellent! The quality is astounding! This is really something special and critical – thanks to a particular revisionist whose initials we all know so well. Don’t let the words he spoke for Star Wars become a tombstone for this, his other (and arguably his best) movie . .

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie."
