I really like that Screen Rant article; its short and to the point with virtually no bias. Here’s my favorite part…
“Lucas’ ownership of the Star Wars franchise as its creator gave him every reason to make changes to the original Star Wars films. While some may disagree with some of the minor changes such as Return of the Jedi’s musical number, Jabba the Hutt’s A New Hope appearance, or Greedo shooting Han Solo first, the bigger changes to match the visual style of both trilogies make a lot of sense. These changes were simply about Lucas furthering his ownership for the franchise he created, explaining his defense of them.”
Like it or not, the fact remains that as long as George was in charge of his own company, he was free to do whatever he wanted with those films, whether anyone else liked it or not. While I’d definitely purchase the UOT in a higher video quality if he changed his mind someday, I’m not going to act entitled or stay eternally upset with him about refusing to do so.
