It's the big 5-0 coming up for the Marathon.

Should it be an All Greatest Hits lineup? Half and half? Specific film suggestions?

i asked chat gpt
can lucas screen a personal print of star wars a new hope.
ChatGPT

George Lucas retains some unique rights regarding "Star Wars," but Disney holds the majority of control over the franchise. However, Lucas has previously granted special permissions for screenings of his personal prints. For example, he approved a rare screening of a pre-Special Edition version of "A New Hope" at an event hosted by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences​ (Jedi News)​​ (New Statesman)​.

While Disney owns the overall rights to the franchise, Lucas still possesses personal copies of the original films and can potentially screen them privately or under special circumstances, provided it doesn’t conflict with Disney’s rights and commercial interests.
