I think it's a good lesson in creativity though. Sometimes maybe you're overthinking it too much, maybe turn it in. Because even like the stuff they add in the special edition, the studio's like... We'll pay for this. We'll market it.

Yeah, he really did. Well, Spielberg said they gave him $1.5 million to work on the special edition, which was a lot of money back in 1980. Anyway, huge hit for Steve. Falls it up in 1941, which was not a huge hit, but leads to everything that happens in the 80s.
