From listening to him talk in interviews, he really sounds like he couldn't care less. I would say Clive Reville respects his right to change his films, however.

Yes, but what were the conditions for his testement to Lucas's right to change the films?

Adam, this is your response to 90% of comments on Lucas' changes and heres my problems with it.
He should care about all the people that helped him make the movies (and im not talking fans here, im talking actors and special effects artists). And what he is doing is cutting all their hard work out of the movie, and by not making the originals available he's basically taking away their work. and i dont care what you say, but Star Wars (as with any movie) does not have its success or failure by one person alone it has the work of all the people, and just because Lucas owns star wars doesnt necessarily give him the right to start chopping (or just replacing) other peoples work on it because he sees fit. I think as far as most people on this board are concerned, he can change the movie all he wants, but he should still make the original versions available, partly because fact of the matter is if those versions werent as beloved as they are, you probably wouldnt even know the name of George Lucas.
Additionally, you always talke about his right to change his films. First, i dont think you can say Clive Reville respects his right to change the films, without speaking to Clive and asking him (not saying you stated it as fact). He cause also sound like he could care less simply because he doesnt. Not everyone (actors that were in it included) cares about Star Wars. Maybe he just doesnt care what lucas does, maybe he realize Lucas wont listen to anyone else on it so why bother, or maybe he does care, but is so pissed at lucas for removing him from the movie that he'd rather not get into those issues and just 'shrug off' the questions related to them.
Also, your arguement doesnt really help the cause, first because its overused but more importantly, saying Lucas doesnt care about what anyone else thinks makes him seem like the bratty child that brings the ball to the field, and when everyone wants to play kick ball and he wants to play dodge ball, or his team is loosing, or something else isnt going his way he picks up his ball and leaves because 'its my ball and that means what i say goes, and if you dont like it im not gonna play and im taking my ball with me'

I suppose they would, since they still did their share of acting in the film originally. And Lucas isn't known to be greedy with people. Money hungry maybe, but not necessarily greedy.
