Well I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here. I don't think he is really trying to claim that he had the whole vision for the SW saga from the very beginning. I think he means to say that most of the things he did to change the classic trilogy were the result of things he couldn't originally do exactly the way he had hoped he could do it. Also each release has represented his "definative" vision "at the time" I think there was part of him that thought that he might only go so far with it, but then as he went he decided to go even further.

So what you're saying is that the day they shot the Han/Greedo shooting scene, there was no way they could make Greedo shoot first? Despite all the westerns that came out before Star Wars, it just wasn't possible to have a shoot out like that in a Sci-Fi movie? Well, I'm so glad we have computers now so we can make two people have a fast paced shoot out. Where would we be without those computers?
I suppose there was also no way to shoot that same scene multiple times in order to get different takes so they could decide which one to use in post? Man, again I say thank goodness for those computers.
Stop drinking the kool-aid for a moment and think about what you're saying.
