Very interesting example, because that DID happen. With the Let it Be album. I don't remember the exact details, but yeah they did that. The difference is that the original version is availiable on the same format (CD)

Technically, that DIDN'T happen. Nothing was added to Let It Be. The Original Phil Spector produced version of Let It Be was NOT what the Beatles had originally intended. I'm a bigger Beatles fan than I have ever been a Star Wars fan, and I can tell you without a doubt, that Let It Be (originally titled "Get Back") was intended to be the Beatles getting back to basics. Four guys live in the studio with no overdubs. The ONLY addition was Billy Preston adding the occasional Organ part, but again LIVE in the studio. Let It Be... Naked was the original intention.

Using Let It Be as the analogy is incorrect, because it is the EXACT opposite of what Lucas has done. He didn't remove things that weren't supposed to be there originally, He added things that were never there. In addition, The Beatles NEVER said that the 1970 album didn't exist after released LIBN. Lucas has refused to acknowledge the OOT ever since the release of the SE in 1997.

I appreciate the fact that you tried to use my analogy to make your point, but you were a bit mistaken.
