He doesn't simply change his films to meet the fans desires, but as he has stated, they are his films and his vision to make how he wants.


I'm almost positive I heard/read somewhere that George Lucas put Boba Fett into ANH SE to "please the fans".

I'm sure there are other examples.


I believe you heard wrong, as that scene in ANH:SE was shot when ANH was shot (in the 70s). Also he wanted to do some type of CG but didn't have good enough technology, so he decided to wait to reinsert the scene for when he was to go back and make the SEs.


Boba Fett was digitally inserted into that scene as he was not part of the original shoot, having been developed by Joe Johnston in 1978; he was filmed in 1996 and played by an ILM employee IIRC. And yes, he was put there for fan-related reasons.
