Exactly, that's what I thought. Perhaps the SEs are considered to be different movies. Or maybe he dosen't apply to those rules, if he dosen't have credits on the begining of his films (which is not required anymore anyway), he also won't have any disclaimers at all - which is probably the most logical explanation.

So, let's think for a moment here. Had not the Director's Guild complained with GL about the lack of credits on the begining of Star Wars, he would have not quit the guild. So we would have a ROTJ directed by Spielberg, Gary Oldman as Grievious... And quite possibly a guild complaining about Lucas changes and demanding a disclaimer on the film, which GL would probably not accept (as those are HIS movies), and a legal battle with begin. This would get media attention and people's sympathie for the O-OT pretty much the same way it happened with the New Coke. So, logically, we would have the O-OT released, if it wasn't for some damn little credits!
