Can we save Star Wars ? That is the question, with the recent Blu Ray re-edition of the famous trilogy, that is still not including original versions in high quality.
Lucas has even stated that he would like the original versions to disappear, and that once the existing VHS, Laserdisc and DVD releases deteriorate he hopes no one will even remember the originals existed, rewriting Film history. « The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the [Special Edition] version », George Lucas, 1997.
Therefore, War is now declared between him (the Dark side ?) and fan community, which multiply rebellion actions : militant websites (www.savestarwars.com ), hilarious videos (« Even classic movies are not safe from Lucas » : www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkPKZhXth7M) and many other initiatives to discover on the Web.
