And it’s fairly exceptional, what you’re going to see is in actual fact the primary print, and I’m not even certain there’s one other one fairly prefer it. It’s that uncommon,” Kennedy stated to the viewers. “There’s a lot tinkering that’s gone on through the years, and issues that [writer/producer George Lucas] determined, ‘I’m gonna change this, I’m gonna strive that.’ After which, everyone sort of misplaced monitor of what it was.”
