If we're talking about scenes that were shot, finished in every way, even included in the original edit of the movie, but were not included in the theatrical release, that's still a much different situation than Lucas and the SE's and nowhere near as bad.
The special effects added for the SE do scream "20 years later" in regards to the original effects. You still don't seem to realize that, prove to me otherwise.
The way in which the original theatrical vesions have been treated are unjust to our culture. You still don't seem to get that either, prove to me otherwise.

Wrong... it's released because the studio says it to be released, not because it's "finished".... it's finished when the person who created it says it's finished... whenever that is, be it the next day or 30 years later.
