Last June, fans of Comedy Central – the long-running channel behind beloved programmes such as The Daily Show and South Park – received an unwelcome surprise. Paramount Global, Comedy Central’s parent company, unceremoniously purged the vast repository of video content on the channel’s website, which dated back to the late 1990s.

Fair. Can also cite all the Islamic iconography and sound removed from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

As for Star Wars, Han absolutely shot first. (High five)

Weren't a lot of those wacky edits by Lucas' own whims though? I'd say there's a distinction between a creator editing his own work and say, Disney going "We lost the rights to John Williams, so we removed the score from the entire franchise." Lol
