I figure he's never been 100% satisfied with the OT from the get go.....which is understandable. That quote about films being abandoned and stuff, ya know. But at the same time, he can't be that naive to not understand the influence his films have had and the importance that the they have in the lives of fans who saw them originally.
I personally think he's flipped his fuckin' lid. He's got money, power, influence and all the fame and asskissing has short-circuited his brain, so he's doing all kinds of crazy shit that doesn't make any sense.
His continued tinkering and re-releasing of the films is SOLID FUCKING proof that he is wired a little wrong. That is obsessive-complusive behavior. He's said he wants full control over his films. He's a control freak. The actors have complained about his directing style. He's a control freak.
He's nuts. The man has a few screws loose. And Bizzle can sprout all he wants about how I'm making all these assumptions...Lucas is crazier than a rat in a fucked up shithouse!!!
But McCallum has said that the suits in LFL want to release the OOT cuz they know of the demand and have been watching this site very closely. Lucas is the roadblock there.
