un: totalfilm: George Lucas defends Star Wars changes As Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace returns to cinemas, George Lucas has again been defending his decision to tinker with the film’s special effects… It seems to me that tinkering with a classic film is the act of a rich and powerful elitist who is disconnected with the creatives who helped make the film and audience who gave him wealth. Another reason Star Wars fans should boycott the 3D release of Phantom Menace. Did anyone ask for a 3D release of Menace? No. Lucas pomposity and corporate manipulation trying to shove a format down our throats with a film no one needs to see again. Fast forward 10 years from now, every theater in every town only plays Menace forever as a boot stomps on your head. -- source link
