Back in 1988, in testimony before Congress, one of Hollywood’s most successful, beloved and influential filmmaker-moguls expressed deep concern for a disturbing trend sweeping the movie industry. “People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians,” this filmmaker said, “and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society.” Damn straight, George Lucas .
