Salmonax said:It seems like Lucas is now, above all, the head of a large company with thousands of employees depending on consistent projects that return huge numbers. The pressure must be especially intense since he sunk over $300 million into the San Francisco campus.
When you look at projects like the unnecessarily effects-crammed and creatively questionable special editions, prequels, and Indy 4 through that lens, their existence makes perfect sense.
What doesn't make sense is a refusal to allow fans to have the originals remastered but unchanged.
