Hello!
Few weeks ago I came across this video that states some interesting takes. It’s mostly in favor of Lucas changing the films and it contains some interesting trivia about their release history. Since most users on this board are all about media preservation, I assume you take heavy issue with this video. Like to see differing opinions.
There is already an engaging discussion on Rick Worley’s 3 hour and 40+ minute bad faith ‘argument’ youtube video, here…
‘How to Watch Star Wars, Part Two: The Special Editions Are the Movies, Get Over It’ - in Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases
^ the above discussion thread also has a fair number of discerning thoughts and opinions on it… feel free to add yours 👍
…as well as thoughts on why anyone would want be told how to watch Star Wars… in a near 4-hour rambling incoherent video - let alone whoever Rick Worley is… in such an inflammatory manner containing some flimsy, contradictory and ‘strawman’ reasoning.
Many fans merely want to have the choice in viewing whichever previously released version of ‘Star Wars’ they wish to see… and/or share the version they experienced for so many years with their loved ones, families, and friends etc - with the next generation. Or even take in one of the many other previous ‘visions’ (ie; 1997SE, 2004SE, 2011SE, 2019SE) that George has released over the years.
Or simply view the original theatrical OT films as each of the three OT directors made and released them - in the best quality available.
