Why Star Wars Should be Left to the Fans

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday September 18, 2011 @09:35AM from the don't-make-us-shoot-first dept.

Aguazul writes "The BBC has an interesting take on George Lucas's meddling with our memories: 'Fans of Star Wars are not happy. Someone has been tampering with their movie history.' They speculate on who really owns a piece of art. Even the artist doesn't really know what he's created, and a work doesn't become 'something' until given value by an audience: 'the artist is merely the medium for his or her work.' Many people contributed to the Star Wars trilogy. Is Lucas' over-inflated idea of his own importance in the process the reason he is stopping people seeing the unmodified originals?"

really? does it fucking matter who shot first, its a gd fictional character not a historical figure, and it was not a defining moment, it was an introduction, the defining moment is when he overcame his greed and helped the greater cause, but your too tied up on a 100millisecond special effect to notice anything else are you
