i get it anon, and i actually agree. through intention, good editing, happenstance, i think Star Wars worked out and it's just fun.
there are tons of goofy changes in the Special Editions. there are three different versions of Vader first taking to the Emperor and the revised dialogue is like it's trying to retcon IN a twist. from
>We have a new enemy, Luke Skywalker.
to
>We have a new enemy. The young rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.
the hell? that's not news to Vader, it's in the opening crawl. he's looking for 'Skywalker' on Hoth.
but on the day in the 90s where Lucas was making these decisions, it wasn't controversial yet, y'know? it's like when an author writes a bad sequel to a novel, definitely wasn't their intent at the time even if it's obvious in hindsight.
give it the Blade Runner treatment of releasing all the different versions. i'd actually like one that fixed purely visual shortcomings: the seams on matte paintings, that type of thing. (and damn right am i glad for Project 4K77, grain and all.)
