I've wondered that same thing since the announcement. He said the originals didn't exist anymore, he lied about all the things he said and did in the 70s (no matter how much proof there was to the contrary), he kept altering the movies, and he claimed he'd never release the unaltered versions. Now it's being done after all and he's not the one that made the announcement. Also, he's still digging his heels in, even now. Seems like someone at Fox made an executive decision to ignore his ridiculousness and give thousands of fans what they've wanted all along.
