If regret is what George is dealing with, then his personal feelings are the exact opposite of his stance to film preservation. Who could convince or help him to let go of his regret other than himself and accept his past that built to his many great achievements? It’s a stumper. I’m glad that we have original trilogy fans, but that’s sad business for George for all the fun stuff he created with his team.
This looks almost like David Lynch’s regret for his movie ‘Dune’ regretting to insist on a final edit and he hasn’t quite gotten over that either.
I’ll do a google search, but it might just lead to self-compassion / mental health therapy.
Meta AI seems to give out okay answers if I keep the questions not too complex.
"Living with regrets can be challenging, but there are ways to cope and find peace. Here are some tips:
Forgive Yourself: Regret often stems from self-criticism. Practice self-compassion and remind yourself that you’re still worthy of love and growth, even if you’ve made mistakes.
Mental Contrasting: Imagine how things could have been if you made different choices. Then focus on the positive paths ahead of you.
Make Amends: If your regretful behaviour hurt someone, consider offering a genuine apology or writing a letter expressing regret.
Don’t Avoid Feelings: Allow yourself to experience emotions rather than distracting from them. It’s okay to feel regret; it’s part of being human 123.
Remember, you’re not alone, and growth often arises from learning and accepting our regrets."

Seems to be good advice, but Meta just needs to speak in the style of Yoda and good to go!
