Nobody was holding a gun to Lucas's head saying that he even had to make any more movies in the first place. He could've done whatever he wanted for the rest of his career and no one would be able to make another Star Wars movie except with his blessing.
If he's going to speak out on a movie company altering a production by The Three Stooges just because that movie company owns the rights to it, he should practice what he preaches and stop being such a hypocrite.

So just because it was seen publically makes it "finished"? The second that movie played on a screen its done and no longer available to be worked on further? Bullshit. Your arguement is the same crap that people drop when they act like the movies are "theirs".
Furthermore, ESB and ROTJ (and the PT) are distributed by Fox.... Fox is paying for that and still give a solid date that they want/need the movie for distrobution... GL funding the making of the films means nothing to Fox. Fox is still putting money into the movies.

He’s speaking out against the movie COMPANY posthumously altering the 3 Stooges material… last I checked Luca$ isn’t dead (contrary to some fans wishes) and Fox isn’t inserting Jar Jar into the cantina scene.
COLOSSAL difference…if the 3 stooges were alive and wanted to reshoot a scene, I'm betting GL wouldn't give a shit....
That's the difference you can't seem to grasp.
