A movie so problematic that the "Turner Version" eliminates a major story point, making the switch-up in the third act incomprehensible.

Lucas was an old 60s guy. The Empire is quite clearly supposed to be the Nazis. Palpatine gains power through a democratic process and is allowed to do so by a crisis and a war, just like Hitler in Weimar Germany. It's a clear parallel.
Though at least he wasn't tendentious enough to make Nute Gunray (who was obviously supposed to be Newt Gingrich-remember him?) on the side of the real villains...
I'd say it's simpler. You were young when you read those books. Being old sucks. You lose your hair, you gain weight, your joints start to hurt, and you realize you're eventually going to die. If you read the 1e or 2e DMG or Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, it takes you back to your younger years. Who wouldn't want to be young again?

I am not sure whether I am more curious about the bad edit or the fact that someone out there knows enough about the movie to notice and comment on it

Its true, while having cutting edge effects and great action sequences, the dialogue was absolute horse manure.

Unbreakable is the best live-action superhero movie. Superman the Movie is the best live-action superhero movie based on an existing character.
I'd add that Into the Spider-verse is the best comic book movie of all time, but I don't think that is an unpopular opinion.

Unbreakable isn't a live action super hero movie. it is a live action super hero origin story movie. You never get to the superhero part.
