I can see why some artists don't bother to make a movie as good as they can. After all it costs time and money.

I guess that's part of the reason I respect Lucas for caring more than most directors would about making his movie as close to what he was trying to do as he can.

Here's an example of you totally missing the point of a post. Not going back and altering your film to make it "better" does not in any way indicate that they don't care, or they didn't put their full efforts into it the first time. By that logic, you could say that George Lucas only put 25% of his efforts into making the first Star Wars movie, because that's how complete he said it was. We know that's not true, because the man almost had a heart attack making that movie. The point is that you do the best you can while you're working on a movie. It's not going to a perfect, but nothing ever is. It's almost like playing a sport. You have your chance during the game to score as many points and be the best player you can, but once it's over, you have what you have. You did the best you can, and you're left to reflect on it. And I think going back 20 years later and easily fixing things with new technology is almost a slap in the face to the blood, sweat, and tears you went through to make it the first time with lesser technology. I know I'd feel that way... I could never cover up my hard work with something "better" that came so much more easily. Apparently, George feels differently.
