And George just doesn't seem capable of making those intelligent decisions he used to. Now he's like a painter who has finished his masterpiece. Twenty-thirty years later he discovers that new colors of paint have been created that weren't around when he painted his masterpiece. So, he just decides to bring his canvas back and start splotching new color all over the place just because he can, just because it's new. It's like in the immortal of Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park. "You guys were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you never stopped to think about whether or not you should." So just because he can do something, doesn't mean that he should do something.
and who are you to judge that lucas is no longer capable of doing what he wants to his movies. he knew all along that there where going to be more then the 3 that he made. as far as he is concerned the job wasnt done int he first place. his image was not complete. it would be a different story if ANH was ep 1 then in 97 he changed it to ep4 so that he could make the PT, the PT has always been in his mind, and if things need to be changed inorder to make everything if then they need to be changed. thats why if he wants he should be able to add scenes and make things look better.
