@_Zeets there are a lot of people who are incapable of even thinking about political life outside the context of two-party electoral politics — PolitiTweet.org

@baseballcrank Make sure to double-check whether your complaints about something actually apply to the person you’re targeting. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@baseballcrank Well it’s a good thing then that I have never supported or endorsed “efforts to cancel older films/books etc or bowdlerize them to meet current cultural-political sensibilities.” — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@jmgauthier what makes you think i haven’t? — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

anyway, i am already getting quote tweeted by people in the fandom so let me reiterate that this is as much about cultural preservation as it is my own aesthetic preferences. i think it is important for *history* to be able to watch and appreciate and study the original films. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

one of those obligations, i think — and especially for something as culturally important as the original star wars movies — is not to disappear the work of one’s collaborators, which is essentially what lucas has done — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

quote tweeting here because i think this is an important point to make, not because i am trying to put you on blast: directors are not the sole architects of their films. and even if they were, i still think they have an obligation to do right by their collaborators. — PolitiTweet.org

one thing that has never sat well with me was the decision to replace sebastian shaw as anakin’s ghost in return of the jedi. it strikes me as disrespectful to the actor and the performance. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

and there’s a serious point to make here too. the original theatrical editions were the work of many, many people. special effects workers, stunt workers, actors, editors, sound engineers, camera operators, etc. i think their effort ought to be preserved in its original form. — PolitiTweet.org

this exactly what i want. like. exactly. — PolitiTweet.org

@gobsmackednoona yeah i mean a 4K restoration from the original final negative — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@MaggieEThornton nope, those are “special editions” with changes and tweaks — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

this does get to something that i would really like: restored versions of the original theatrical films. let me pretend that star wars ended in 1983. https://t.co/rrvZmStT7p — PolitiTweet.org
