Star Wars - Theatrical Version
So I let the inner geek in my out on Tuesday and bought the "new" original theatrical release DVDs of Star Wars. Watched Ep. 4 on Wednesday, Ep. 5 last night and just finished Ep. 6 this morning before the football games started.

I just gotta say, aside from being sick, things are right in the world again. Greedo never shoots. Anakin is not Hayden Christensen. Things are good.

I've got to pick them up - laserdisc rips or not. I'll need something to turn to when Lucas releases his definitive boxed set of all six movies and has Alec Guinness jumping off of walls during the light sabre duel with Vader in Episode 4 or decides to create fake versions of actors so he can put them in new exciting situations that never existed in the original movies...

You know it's coming...

“Star Wars” creator George Lucas, who testified with Steven Spielberg before Congress in the 1980s against colorization and other forms of alteration, said the process yanks such slapstick performers as the Stooge's out of the black-and-white universe they belong in.

So to answer my question, they were indeed talking about Turner-ization.

If they weren't, then they're also against the director's cut DVDs and extended-edition DVDs that we get with virtually every film released these days.

In the 1980s, they were talking about any changing of the original film. I think there is an argument to be made that a "director's cut" is still the ORIGINAL film, while these "special editions" Lucas gave us a few years ago were not original... they were not using technology available in 1977 when they inserted a digital Jabba or digitally twisted Han's head so he dodged Greedo's laser.

Reread this quote from Lucas himself: "I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them," said Star Wars creator George Lucas.

Lucas was concerned that the films he watched as a child be preserved in their ORIGINAL form so that his children could see them. But he doesn't hold himself to the same standard.
