Yes, of course he knows. It's just that he doesn't care. He doesn't consider the OT the OOT anymore, despite the fact that some do.

But it's a fact that it is his opinion, and that he owns the films, therefore he has the right to change his films to his desire without input from outsiders. You're saying that ownership and artist's rights are based only on opinions. Now that just doesn't work well in reality, does it? Case closed.

It is his opinion as well, and a widely accepted opinion at that. (It's not Lucas's revisions specifically that are widely accepted, but it's an artist's rights to make changes to his/her own works.)

Nope. In this case, it's a sign that I'm sticking to the facts.

Exactly. That's what made me laugh. That was one of the sentences which makes me suspect they are aware of the fan backlash from the internet, like you said.

It just struck me as strange that they didn't make one of their typical "dramatic front page" announcements that they typically do, in which they glorify whatever new product they have. Instead, they put it in the "recent updates" section, which is not as prominantly featured.

It's just that, from reading it, you can tell they've seen the fan reaction on the internet. They worded the press release to explain away their decision to release the set. That's what I find so funny.

I laughed out loud when I read the apologetic press release that SW.com gave for the repackaging of the 2004 DVDs. They didn’t even make a dramatic front page announcement like they usually do! Check it out for yourself:

My certain point of view is that the series is a unified saga, therefore the coloring on the DVD's should be unified.

Exactly.

Perhaps someday I may see how it feels to have something done as Lucas did to the OOT. But, at this moment in time, I don't really care if he makes changes to the PT. I guess you could say that I welcome change.

I would really like to see them, but, as I said before, I doubt they would put them on the DVD, given Kubrick's wishes.
