Eh, I think it’s just that George sees the films as something that solely belongs to him, (despite all of the other people who worked on them,) and he wants to be able to constantly do things that he sees as improving them. He hates the studio process and believes in total director control over a project. He hates when studios order films to be altered like Warner Bros. did to THX but loves when he gets to tinker with his films personally.

Also, IMO, the worst thing about the 2006 DVDs is that it’s zoomed out so horribly. If you play the DVDs in VLC and crop the top and bottom by 100 pixels it’s at least watchable, at least on my TV. (My dad’s TV is newer and bigger and it doesn’t seem to help as much as it does on my TV, and unfortunately a little more than 100 and it’s cutting off parts of the picture.)
