Plot synopsis

Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Tweek, go to see a "re-re-re-release" of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Before the movie, a trailer of the (real) re-release of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is shown, which points out the various edits made to the movie.

A trailer of the (fictional) "re-re-release" of Saving Private Ryan is then shown where similar edits have been made; the soldiers' guns have been digitally changed to walkie talkies, and the word "Nazi" has been changed to "persons with political differences". The four complain about how directors edit their movies to make them more family-friendly or politically correct. Finally, the movie they came to see appears, but not before a banner is displayed on the screen (and also read by an announcer) to note the word "Wookiee" has been changed to "hair challenged animal" and that the entire cast has been digitally replaced by Ewoks.

They leave the theater in disgust and decide to form an organization to campaign against changes to classic movies. Cartman then writes "Free Hat" on the advertising poster to persuade more people to come. Tweek is charged with the task of making fifty paper hats, but he only manages to make fifteen. Many more people than were expected show up, thinking the boys wish to free Hat McCullough from prison. When the boys state their real cause, the group is a little enthusiastic about this cause too and suggests they work on both causes: stopping film-makers from editing their movies and freeing Hat McCullough. At this, the group runs outside, chanting "Free Hat! Free Hat!"

Later, the boys are invited onto Nightline with Ted Koppel to talk about their cause. Koppel reveals that Hat McCullough is a convicted serial killer who confessed to the murder of twenty-three babies & toddlers and Tweek has to defend their supposed support of toddler murder. When asked what he finds positive about toddler murder, Tweek eventually answers "It's easy?". Koppel agrees with the statement. While there, the boys meet Steven Spielberg and
