[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 1684876, member: 10079"] Its much simpler than most people like to think. It won't make HIM happy. From what I can see, Lucas sees his trilogy as his personal art to share with the world. Now, he may have one a good job with it the first time around, but HE wasn't happy with it. If the ARTIST isn't happy with his art, then something needs to be done. So, he released the SE. He fixed things HE thought should be fixed. Now, he changes them more(though not much) to conform with the whole of his work. The problem with all of this is simple, too. We, the fans, seem to think that Star Wars is ours. We have every right to because that's how we view most movies...but Lucas feels that Star Wars is HIS. He also has every right to, because he's spent his life working on them(whether you want to admit it or not). He's not doing these changes because he wants money, or because he's out to annoy the fans, or because he's out to ruin your childhood, its because HE wants to be satisfied with his own work. Like it or not, he's NOT going to release the old versions because they aren't the 'right' versions in his mind. Star Wars is just different than most movie franchises in that the creator has a very strong view of how it SHOULD be, and will not stop to change it until it is how it should be. Lucas WILL gladly share his work with the world, but he wants the world to see Star Wars as HE FEELS it was meant to be seen. Yes, its a selfish view, but most artists can be very selfish with major pieces of work like Star Wars is to Lucas. [/QUOTE]
