Speaking of Ridley Scott, he kinda fell into the same trap as Lucas with doing several different cuts of Blade Runner.

The 'Final Cut' version is controversial among fans cause he pretty much waited over 2 decades to decide that the fan theory of Deckard being a replicant was true. He took a movie that was about a sociopath finding humanity from a machine he had to hunt down, then completely altered it and changed the entire meaning of it. To someone seeing it for the first time, they probably enjoy the Final Cut more than I did. To each their own. There's so many edits of Blade Runner, you can find one you like if you don't care for the changes in the Final Cut. It's pretty amazing how many versions of Blade Runner was released over the years.

Luckily though; the Blade Runner DVD and Blu Ray sets usually have all the official released versions of the film, so if you don't like the Final Cut, you can watch any other version. It even has the original versions with the voice over (some fans like this cause it gives the movie something of a noir feeling, other fans find Ford's narration of the lines to be cheesy) and happy ending that the studio forced into the film. It's hard for me to really complain, cause these DVD sets are what should've been done with the original Star Wars films. Instead, Lucas made it clear he wanted the Special Editions to become the only ones in circulation.

Blade Runner like Star Wars has a fan made version that some folks find to be the superior and absolute best version. It combines stuff from ALL versions, usually getting rid of the happy ending or voice over and adding in essential deleted scenes (the big one being where Deckard takes the test).

Anyways, enough of my rambling here. Hats off and kudos to the fans using their talent and skills with editing to give us their amazing edits. It's really cool to see how far a group of people love Star Wars and Blade Runner to the point they make all this wonderful stuff for us.
