My feeling after years of study is that Lucas doesn’t want to be reminded of work he wasn’t happy with at the time and only reminds him of what he lost. Every movie he swore it was the last and that he and Marcia could settle down after, but by the time RotJ was done, she was gone.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s film history and should be preserved, but I get his hesitation now.

It’s not spite, it’s regret.

If he feels regret then he should show it and have some respect for the talent he collaborated with during those years. Instead it’s always him vs the studios, a rhetoric he continued during Red Tails period. Nobody gets me, nobody wants to take a risk, nobody understands my true artistic vision, etc. He spent a lot of energy and time and money on the work in the early days but jeez the tortured auteur thing and one standing alone is a sham and everybody knows it. He’s not David Lynch for crying out loud (someone who also had plenty of support from people close to him for a breakthrough 1977 movie).

Maybe, not. I guess George would have to make the choice to give up his regrets even though every thing he did including all his mistakes have led up to some amazing stuff: ILM, THX, affordable home video editing, etc.
Anyways, thanks for your meticulous Star Wars research! Take care.

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."
by Meta Answer

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

If they can Release The Snyder Cut, then what about a campaign for #Release_the_Marcia_Lucas_Cut_OTSW?

Just watching video clips from the documentary Icons Unearthed, it looks like to me that George Lucas will not release the original OT because he is always going to be reminded that his wife helped him out the most in editing that version of the movie and won the Oscar for editing. That was a messy divorce. I don’t know if George will ever forgive his wife even though it looked like he neglected her in building up his media empire for the sake of his family. I might be just making up a story in my head though.

STAR WARS: EP VI -RETURN OF THE JEDI &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - ** PRODUCTION HAS NOW RESTARTED **

Asking for a friend who is keen about Star Wars details.
“For ROTJ:R, could you please change the throne room layout to how it looks in TROS?
Most importantly, the wall with the door that leads to the wayfinder that clearly isn’t there in ROTJ?”

Otherwise, it’s good to see this project is still going strong!
Thanks very much!


I need to figure out how to post these pictures.
Wait a sec.

The 2 Ewok Films - '<strong>Caravan Of Courage</strong>' (aka 'The Ewok Adventure'), &amp; '<strong>Battle For Endor</strong>'

Hi Silverwook:

I know high school French and can use google translate, but TMBTM fan editor lives in Quebec, Canada and is fluent in French. Do you want to ask TMBTM (the man behind the mask) fan editor if he can make some inquiries on this Ewoks 16mm film to track down the new owner to see if s/he would like to participate in a Star Wars film preservation?

Star Wars: A New Hope - The Darklighter Cut (Released)
Time

After recently reading The Art of Star Wars script book, my memories of watching Star Wars in Winnipeg for the first time are confirmed that at least the Biggs scene at Yavin base was exactly what I watched and never saw again in the subsequent re-releases!

https://www.amazon.ca/Art-Star-Wars-New-Hope/dp/0345392027/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=star+wars+script+new+hope+book&qid=1588954179&sr=8-5

I would be interested in seeing this version, too!
Thanks!
