If someone can give me a complete and logic answer to this question, I'll gladly change my mind....

Excellent point. If I'd know it wasn't complete, I wouldn't have paid to see it. After all, how can he deserve the Oscar for an incomplete film? And the 2004 release isn't complete either, according to Lucas.
