George was telling the truth about the Father Vader twist going back to ANH, but so was Kurtz:
Time

Whatever path they took to eventually land on the most famous twist in cinematic history, the idea was not original to Lucas or Kurtz. It almost certainly was inspired by the same twist in DUNE, the novel, where Paul Atreides finds out he is the grandson of the primary villain, Vladimir Harkonnen. And so many other aspects of Star Wars seem lifted or inspired by Dune, I think it’s fairly obvious at this point, if Lucas was wrestling with anything about Vader’s backstory, it was how much ‘on the nose’ he could be without looking like he actually ripped it off directly from Dune.

4K80 is now completed.

Well, not quite: it’s still just a beta version for now.

But still, fantastic news! In just a few weeks, we’ll have professional-quality 4K restorations of the entire theatrical OT, entirely because of the hard work of a few fans. That’s amazing to think about.

Bet they’re working on a release trailer right now. Excellent.
