The Video Road

Rarely do I use this forum for personal editorializing, but on this day, as Star Wars is finally released on a home HD format, I need to bring two quotes to everyone’s attention:

‎”People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians.”
–George Lucas, 1988, Address to Congress on preserving classic films–

“No. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
–Darth Vader, 2011, new dialogue near the end of Return of the Jedi, new Blu-Ray edition–

That’s all I have to say on the matter.
