This is not just abot the O-OT this is about the general principal of him tinkering with these films for no apparent reason. I cannot imagine that when making episodes I, II and III he he had to settle for a lesser scene because he didn't have the time or resources to do it properly the first time around. I mean, Gl has the ILM and SS studios at his feet and he still whines about his films not been good enough to release to the public.
Luckily though, they do still sell vcr's and we all have the O-OT on video, and we can enjoy those whenever we like.....
