The festival was supposed to be a showcase of 20th century filmmaking. AFI selected one or two films for each decade. Star Wars was picked to represent the *entire* 1970's in that festival. Showing the SE in that context would be pointless of course. I find it really ironic they saluted George just a few years later.
I have heard Lucasfilm blocked a Library of Congress showing as well, but can't find mention of it. The LOC does have their own print.
