Forget labor of love, a quality release of the original trilogy is guaranteed to make tons of money for Lucas. He's worried about whether or not there is a market for it? I'd bet that even over half of the people who liked the PT would probably like to own the orginals for the sake of novelty at least. And, even if it is merely a minority of Star Wars fans that want to see the originals, we are talking about Star Wars here! A minority in the Star Wars fanbase is freaking huge.
The only explanation for George Lucas' actions is that he wants to destroy history. Nothing else.
