george lucas, biggest douche in the universe

[rone]

So, in the "Return of the Jedi" DVD, Lucas removed Sebastian Shaw's ghost appearance in the end of the movie and replaced it with Hayden Christensen.  Is there no end to Lucas's perfidy?  Why hasn't some crazed fan pied him in the face by now?  I know, i wish i could remove this emotional attachment i have to the Star Wars movies, because they really aren't that good.  But still... Lucas should not go unpunished.

There was a precedent for this, y'know, when Lucas replaced David Prowse with Sebastian Shaw in the original "Jedi".

So, anyone know what he's fucked with in the THX-1138 re-release?

Who'd know? Had anyone actually seen it before?

Prowse had appeared in a number of films (like Clockwork Orange and Horror of Frankenstein), and was well-known in the UK from television, so he was unhappy that he had to do the Vader role with his face completely covered. Since Lucas had told him he was planning to use his face in the unmasking scene, he was mightily pissed off when Shaw was given the role.

Ron: "Who'd know? Had anyone actually seen it before?"

ME! I saw it! It was long ago in a theater far, far away. It may have been before you were a sentient being, in the days of hardcopy edits and typewriters. (And dinosaurs)

Would I notice any changes? Right - as if I remember it at all! Bald heads. White room. Donald Pleasance (sp?). Robert Duvall? I read somewhere the DVD includes the original, the altered, and great goobery gobs of more stuff.

Saw part of it at a friend's house a few years back.
