OK. The guy is probably having some mental and/or emotional problems. I started thinking a while back, that the worship seems to have gone to his head in the worst way, making him think he really is some kind of god; and on the other hand, he is heartily sick of the whole affair and has a nasty little streak that wants to ruin it for everyone. Learning about his wife and the settlement with her gives more fuel to that fire, now he's got to pay money to someone he dislikes, so that's more motivation to damage and fiddle with it.
All of these motivations and feelings live in Mr Lucas, and what comes out as a result is a mixed-up, self-contradictory story that pleases no-one and constantly changes. Notably, there's no point trying to REASON with someone in such a state of mind.

Actually I feel a bit sorry for him. It's a pity that enthusiastic, talented, practical young guy has become a bitter and greedy old man. Thanks for the original Star Wars anyway, Mr Lucas. I suggest you just foget about it all and let Lucasfilm do whatever they like - you might feel better.

Damn, I do wish I could get a decent copy of the original films though

Back to the X0 project then.
