Were any of those closer to Lucas' "ultimate vision?" Actually, point 6 and 8 were further removed from Lucas' current vision. He restored them to their original state, causing the paradoxal situation that people complained about things that were actually in the original 1977 Star Wars.
From what I gather, people aren't asking for the actual 1977 edition. Most are, and they probably don't even realize it: No edits, no dialogue rerecording Leaving it the way it was wouldnt raise an eye-brow. oh it's only a change of voice or a change in the line," and I throw my hands in the air and start crying.
So he took them out and put them back in? Was there any point to making the alteration in the first place? I believe it was a technical error in the transfer from film to video.
Yes, I agree. My point is: Be honest about it. Some say they don't want ANY change AT ALL, while the reality is that they're perfectly fine with the changes that were made in 1980, because that's the version they're familiar with and fell in love with. Don't want any CGI additions? That's cool in my book, but tell it like it is.
