@pandora_parrot - I'm more of a mind that Star Wars was saved in the re-writing. Mainly because I've read all the early drafts. The kind of stilted over-wrought dialogue we see in the sequels is what Star Wars was originally. Just before shooting, Lucas gave the script to Willard Hyuck and Gloria Katz to make it work better.
That said, I've never seen the Lucas Rough cut...just bits and pieces, and most of the cuts seem to be mostly removing dodgy effects. Given the prequels, though, I'm fairly sure Marcia Lucas' edits helped the movie tremendously. George can edit action. Everything else...well.........
@georgetakei - I'm sad to say I believe this will be their rallying cry EVERY election they lose until one day it takes. :/
It’s hard to believe that there are still people out there arguing that Biden was not legitimately elected, despite all the evidence that he was and no supporting evidence anywhere of any widespread electoral fraud. But let’s not pretend this ended in 2020. In 2024, Trump will claim fraud once more because he simply can’t stand the idea that he might have lost because more than half the voters don’t ever want him back in the White House. We need to prepare for his lies and how his MAGA base might rally to yet another false cause.
My mom put the jesus up a while ago, last night i put the queer flag, and i think its a great combo because A. J man was absolutely hanging out with the queers of the time, and B. The people who come to our door and get agrivated by the “juxtaposition” absolutely deserve to get piss taken out of them.

-think that every song could be improved by the addition of a fancy little flute.
-don’t understand why we hire construction workers when beavers could do the same work for much less pay.
-suspect that algebra is a hoax created by the mathematics industry to sell more calculators.

Watched the theatrical Star Wars while working on stuff tonight. Turns out my copy has a rare "Mono Mix" that has different effects and takes, and, honestly? I kinda like it.
Aunt Beru has a completely different voice and performance that feels way more natural, all the people talking during the Death Star attack don't have the super distorted radio sound (I never like the original tracks shortwave sideband sound), and a nice explanation of the tractor beam.
I've talked a lot about how ST:TMP's Director's Edition is an almost completely different movie than the theatrical release, but, really, it's funny how just a few changes here and there (as opposed to, you know, changes like Han Shot First), can change how you recieve a movie completely.
