He's a gigachad compared to the new one. I'll grant you the new one is slightly more fitting as like chapter 1 Paul. But again, Paul is the son of Duke Leto II, a highly militarized Great House and potential rival of Shaddam IV. That's certainly a less flattering picture though
Naw fam, that's a boon
It's okay, it's balanced out by Patrick Stewart overacting.
Oh yeah, he despises the theatrical cut. But he's fond of his work before the studio fucked him over. I wish there's a version of the movie that he fully directed with no interference. The extended edition is the closest thing to it. ;-;
