Blu-Ray Of Unaltered Original Trilogy Rumour

If Lucas wants to edit his films with every new release, he has that right, but what he doesn't have the right to do is to erase a piece of what has become cinematic and cultural history, and he has done this by making the once Special Editions into the now Only Editions and refusing to entertain the idea of releasing the un-specialized versions that made Star Wars such a part of our global culture. This is a much broader issue than just fans of Star Wars who want to see the movies like they saw them as children; in fact, there are several people who post here that aren't necessarily fans of Star Wars, but who disagree with Lucas' willful destruction of cinematic and cultural history, even Lucas himself is against it except when it comes to his own films.

Part of the problem might be that we're still yelling at someone who's not in control anymore. At this point, it's Disney who's being revisionist.

CatBus said: Technicolor prints retain their color better than most anything else (assuming they got the right color to begin with, which was a bit of an issue with Technicolor in its earlier days, but not really with Star Wars), so for a color reference, you could do a lot worse.  So I agree wholeheartedly with Fang Zei, if you replace "can" with "should".

Speaking of color references, what did they use as a color reference when creating 97 ESB and 97 ROTJ?

What do you HATE about the EU?

There were many screw-ups in sith history, even before KOTOR:

1. Golden Age of the Sith and Fall of the Sith Empire are set way too long after the formation of the Republic and Jedi. 20,000 years of a Galactic Republic and hyperspace travel is still dangerous? C'mon.

2. Darth Bane should have been one of Exar Kun's followers. Did Lucas have to create another fallen Jedi incident?

3. Darth should absolutely not be a title. Darth being a title is like all Jedi being called "Ben (something)".
