I know a lot of hardcore fans of the original Star Wars are very picky on it being the same way it was when it was released, and I completely understand, but some edits are completely justified. Like when they knocked down some walls in the Cloud City. Or when they replaced that horrible Palpatine character with the well known Ian McDiarmid Palpatine. Or when they fixed the lightsaber shots in the original movie to replace the original reflective material shots which didn’t always work in some shots. Just FYI, I am not dissing the original edits, I am just stating my opinion.
Picky? They just want to see the original cuts in the best possible quality and format they can.
That George Lucas made more and more changes, and does not even release some of the Special Editions on HD, or UHD, is the problem.
Or that George Lucas made changes to other directors’ movies, despite the quotes from George posted above, and the directors’ original cuts are not available on HD or UHD either.
If George made available all of the different cuts of the films it would not be a such a problem.
Why not give fans the option to watch the cuts of the films they grew up with? Or for fans to be able to see the various other cuts that others got to watch and experience?
