entrevista a Lucas en la CNN. Creo que no lo habeis puesto y algunos os va a interesar mucho

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>If I ever had a chance to sit down with George Lucas, there would be a lot of questions I'd ask him. Like why does he keep tinkering with the original trilogy and why did he release only the remastered versions on DVD. Luckily some rogue CNN reporter is tapping into my brain and when presented the opportunity to talk to Lucas - who's out promoting both THX-1138 and STAR WARS on DVD - asked him those very questions. Lucas finally said, "I'm sorry" but it's probably not the apology most fans were waiting for. It was more a sorry that they had to see the films he wasn't happy with in the first place. I'm not a STAR WARS scholar but I had no idea how unhappy he was with the original films. While I'm still not entirely thrilled with the decisions he has made, I think I understand them a little better now. Anyway, here are some snippets from George that explains some of his more recent decisions:

---------------------------

Q: Why did you rework the original trilogy into the special-edition versions in the late 1990s?

LUCAS: To me, the special edition ones are the films I wanted to make. Anybody that makes films knows the film is never finished. It's abandoned or it's ripped out of your hands, and it's thrown into the marketplace, never finished. It's a very rare experience where you find a filmmaker who says, "That's exactly what I wanted. I got everything I needed. I made it just perfect. I'm going to put it out there." And even most artists, most painters, even composers would want to come back and redo their work now. They've got a new perspective on it, they've got more resources, they have better technology, and they can fix or finish the things that were never done. ... I wanted to actually finish the film the way it was meant to be when I was originally doing it. At the beginning, people went, "Don't you like it?" I said, "Well, the film only came out to be 25 or 30 percent of what I wanted it to be." They said, "What are you talking about?" So finally, I stopped saying that, but if you read any interviews for about an eight- or nine-year period there, it was all about how disappointed I was and how unhappy I was and what a dismal experience it was. You know, it's too bad you need to get kind of half a job done and never get to finish it. So this was my chance to finish it.

Q: Why not release both the originals and special editions on DVD?

LUCAS: The special edition, that's the one I wanted out there. The other movie, it's on VHS, if anybody wants it. ... I'm not going to spend the, we're talking millions of dollars here, the money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it doesn't really exist anymore. It's like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I'm sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be. I'm the one who has to take responsibility for it. I'm the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they're going to throw rocks at me, they're going to throw rocks at me for something I love rather than something I think is not very good, or at least something I think is not finished.<hr></blockquote>
