Star Wars: The Lucas Film Edit (aka 'How Star Wars was saved in the edit' video)

Really highlights what the problem with SEs and prequels is, too. George really didn’t change at all. I think this also shows that he stubbornly felt he was right all along. See how the trade talk pops back up in TPM’s crawl. Honestly surprised he didn’t make further changes in the SEs to return the film to its original version.

Quite right. 1977 could have just been The Phantom Menace under another name, and it would have just been known today as a weird over budgeted experiment.

He writes, “There’s one pretty noteworthy person who doesn’t want them released. Shouldn’t be too hard to research who that is.” (https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/941382975853281281).

I’m not sure what the subsequent discussion here is implying but this seems pretty unambiguous to me (his shitty sarcasm aside) … and it’s the same thing everyone was told by Kennedy months ago. What else is there to debate now?

Kennedy never commented on the possibility of an OOT release.

Only if you grasp hard enough at all those straws.

I still say the restoration of an unaltered OT would be a much bigger deal than we’re giving

To who though? The Special Editions aren’t one of the best selling home releases ever because people just want to own fan edits with a clean conscious…

Correct. Some of us initially bought it because it was the only option and it was better than nothing. Probably not an unsubstantial number of people.

And the other 99% bought it because they want to watch the Star Wars and they have it now.
Gout? My grandpa had that one time

Easy sell for a marketer.

‘As you’ve not seen for 25 years…’ or something.

It’s an interesting idea but again it depends if people remember or care about what happened in 1997.
