"There will only be one. And it won't be what I would call the 'rough cut,' it'll be the 'final cut.' The other one will be some sort of interesting artifact that people will look at and say, 'There was an earlier draft of this.' The same thing happens with plays and earlier drafts of books. In essence, films never get finished, they get abandoned. At some point, you're dragged off the picture kicking and screaming while somebody says, 'Okay, it's done.' That isn't really the way it should work. Occasionally, [you can] go back and get your cut of the video out there, which I did on both American Graffiti and THX-1138; that's the place where it will live forever. So what ends up being important in my mind is what the DVD version is going to look like, because that's what everybody is going to remember. The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie."

Взорвать их и не смотреть на взрыв.

Я бы посмотрел на изменения, внесенные в случае выхода переиздания под началом Диснея... Йоду поменять на компьютерного в ОТ, например, было бы неплохо.

Очень приятно видеть мелочи, связывающие фильмы, вроде Палпатина в пятой части или планет в шестой.

In the decades to come, Lucas may find other improvements to make to our sadly flawed memories. When the 50th anniversary edition of “Star Wars” arrives in 2027 maybe Solo will be recreated as the man who shot Liberty Valance on Tattoine? Or perhaps it’ll be a spectral 2Pac who pulls the trigger and rips open Greedo’s gut?

[GEORGE LUCAS:]
[...]
But Star Wars will be done my way
I don't care what you have to say
I think that they should let it go
And they'll never get the Blu-Ray of the Star Wars that you used to know
[...]
[DARTH:]
You didn't have to change it all.
No more puppets, no more practical effects or nothin'
I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a wampa and that feels so cold.
No you didn't have to sell your soul
[...]

Ок, впрочем, я с оригиналом не знаком, только с пародией.

Тут многие плакались, что исходные ЗВ стали раритетом - так вот, недавно пробегала новость про Silver Screen Edition. Фанатское, конечно - но они оцифровали исходные 35-мм плёнки и распихали это по всем торрентам :)
