Via my pal Geoff: Colorized ‘Three Stooges’ DVD revives debate, which includes this lovely quote from tinkermeister George Lucas:

“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…

So theatrically released versions of the original STAR WARS films will be on that DVD release in September, right?

“The original versions technically don’t exist,” says Lucasfilm’s Jim Ward, who is the project’s executive producer. “(Lucas) wanted to represent the films as they exist in his mind, and that’s the special-editions versions.”

Oh.
