The most damning thing you can say about Lucas is that he’s opposed to the availability of certain films, and that’s a big problem and I’ve criticized him relentlessly for that over the years, but I don’t believe that he would demand the films not be restored. I won’t get my hopes up just yet because it is very possible that Disney will just continue to ignore the existence of the pre-SE versions of these films, but I will say that this seems to be, by far, the most credible rumor yet. It also lends a little more credibility to the past rumors if it’s true that they’ve been working on the restoration since 2014, which is when all the nonstop rumors started up.
