This article pretty much proves my point:

terribly over-wordy, long-drawn out article.

but it's good for this laugh..

“[Fox said], ‘we should celebrate the fact that we’ve been here for twenty years.’ I said, ‘If you’re going to put that much money into reissuing the movie, I want to get it right this time.’ ” Lucas’ main idea was to expand the Mos Eisley space-port sequence and restore a deleted scene with Jabba the Hutt. “The initial scope of it involved just two dozen shots,” ILM animator Tom Kennedy says. FX wiz Dennis Muren then suggested that the release offered the opportunity to correct a list of fifteen to twenty shots that had always bothered him. “I suggested to George that we expand the vision and he was open to it,” Muren says. “Motion issues, particularly in the space battle scenes, were my concerns. Then Tom Kennedy and the others contributed their own ideas for redoing shots.”

so Lucas didn't even want to originally put in those scenes that people complain about.

IT WAS SUGGESTED by Dennis Muren.. and followed by tom kennedy..

gee, why don't we all focus hate on him instead..

no, because that would actually make sense..
