“I’ve seen cuts that were the first or second drafts of the movie. There were amazing things: much more of the children and Jessica and Brad. And you could almost make a whole other movie about Sean. There’s another side to his story. It’s almost unexplored in the film.”

“Well, it’s not a religious event. I hate to tell people that. It’s a movie, just a movie. The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down. It’s the same thing with Yoda. We tried to do Yoda in CGI in Episode I, but we just couldn’t get it done in time. We had to use the puppet, but the puppet really wasn’t as good as the CGI. So when we did the reissue, we  put the CGI back in, which was what it was meant to be. If you look at Blade Runner, it’s been cut sixteen ways from Sunday and there are all kinds of different versions of it. Star Wars, there’s basically one version—it just keeps getting improved a little bit as we move forward.”
