Yeah, I always got the impression that George wanted to be able to screen it when he wanted & make it a big event. I remember him saying things like “Star Wars was supposed to be a special event that blew you away. Not something you watch everyday, but more like going to a rock concert.” This was around 1997.
He could also make changes between screenings & it would be harder for the audience to tell what was changed.
