I will concede all these points. The depictions of the moon in the movie do look different.
This thread is about all the reasons why Kubrick didn't and his depicting things on the moon differently isn't a sound argument for that premise. On the other side, Why would someone faking TWO things make them look exactly the same? That would draw suspicion. So there is a logical loop there.

The remastered THX-1138 is actually *shock* better than Lucas' original version. It captures more of the essence of 1138's society and it's similarity to our own.
I appreciate the good humor and comments both you and Illustronic posted...perhaps it is a losing battle trying to educate the unwilling; for some reason I keep trying.

With no pieces left on the board, some simply refuse to admit Check and Mate-- and such are no fun to play with-- they just rearrange the pieces on a new thread only to lose again and again and again.
Wikipedia's article on the mockumentary Dark Side of the Moon is rather iron-clad, but if you sign in and then read the editor's "Talk" discussion page, you can see the insanity of those who simply refuse to acknowledge defeat.
And it is a form of insanity-- sometimes unreasonably held illusions, but sometimes delusions. Personally, I post only for the naive and gullible. The delusional cannot be fixed by reasoning.

I hope this narrative is not copyrighted or - better yet - you don't have the financial resources to hire a good attorney when I plagiarize you in the future.
Kubrick was a perfectionist.
