The 1997 rerelease (compromised though they are) allowed a re-sent and became a new launch that Millennials who populate YouTube see as their childhood intro to SW. This enhances its position. Few older films can have had that impact in re-release. Arguably, under Disney Kathleen Kennedy of Lucasfilm doesn't have a "get a life" attitude, nor do the directors running the new films. They pretty much agree about the special edition tinkering and the prequels. A movie a year. Cha-Ching. Next month hopefully we will get Patrick Read Johnson's film 5-25-77 then Episode VIII hopefully let's Hamill act. May of next year is the Han flick, Episode IX the following may, and then in August of 2020 is the last Indiana Jones. After that, they can let it rest.
