Was it wrong when he re-dubbed Beru's voice? What if he had redubbed her voice before he released the film, would that make a difference?
My point here is that there were a lot of people who worked on a lot of stuff to bring these movies into reality. Along the way some of the stuff they came up with was discarded for various reasons (like the Luke/Friends on Tatooine scene for example).
Stuff like that happens all the time, to good honest artistic work in the process of making a movie. These artists were paid by Lucas, and that's why he gets to use what he wants and discard the rest for his final cut.

A very true point. But firstly, choosing one artistic direction over another should not be the same as totally trashing the neglected work. This is even more true when the neglected work of art is something very redeemable. It's sad to see something beautiful destroyed when people could preserve it. Preservation should not only be about history but beauty as well. Secondly, the more a work of art is experienced and loved by the world, the more that piece of art is no longer just a work of its creator but something more meaningful. The more meaningful a work of art is to the world, the more respect it should be given.
