If you would know what the hell you are talking about, you would know he already said he wants to get back to making films like THX-1138. Also, how is he making money any more differently than any other director or business man would? If he doesn't deserve it, I suggest you watch Empire of Dreams once and see how much shit he went through to get his films made.

They did some horrible stuff to the trilogy like when Han Solo shoots the alien in the bar they changed it to make it look like Han shot in self deffence.

Not worth buying. Stick with it on VHS.

Buy the dvds, they're great. If you let a new scene that lasts 2 secs. ruin the movie, it's you're own fault. They have the actual emperor in ESB instead of monkey woman, picture is a lot clearer than vhs, and the Rancor actually looks half decent without the matte lines, just to name a few reasons why.

Reborn Again
