Where did you get the information that Scarface sells 100,000 copies a week? Maybe in its first week it sold that many but it isn't the norm for that title. And before I start getting yelled at for what Doug is saying, I think the original Star Wars trilogy would sell more than 10,000 copies too.

How does morality or immorality come into George Lucas wanting to release a specific version of his movie? And once again, this discussion started off with the idea that the US government essentially should take George Lucas' property in the name of cultural heritage. Since that idea is...

In all fairness, that's what the discussion has morphed into but when it started, it was "Change your laws so I can see Star Wars the way I want to."

I can imagine that Lucas loves Star Wars as much as anyone so maybe 'hate' and 'loathe' are too strong but since he hasn't bothered with a new transfer of the originals since 1993, I think it's very fair to say that the SEs (and the tweaks that followed them) are the ones that he wants to go...

I think it relates to Lucas' financial power because if Fox owned them, they'd have most likely released the originals by now because there's enough money to be made from them that they'd just ignore his wishes for the movies. As it stands, Lucas owns them and he doesn't care or need money so he...

Like I've said before though, how does this work in a real world scenario? With a building or battle site, etc., that's something that is usually open to the public and can be seen. How do you do that with a movie? Does Lucas just not have to destroy every copy of the original and he'll be OK...

You won't be disappointed. Eventhough I wish all the content from the DVDs had been ported over, the stuff that is on there is a fan's dream come true. Great looks at costumes, props, models and matte paintings, hundreds of drawings and deleted scenes.
