There's two problems I have with what George is saying,

1) Change the movie all you want, but at least provide the older "drafts" in acceptable quality. Is there a reason they need to stay buried?

and

2) I'll grant him the "director's perrogative" argument when it comes to ANH, which he actually directed. But guess what? He didn't direct Empire and Jedi. He could at least be more accurate by saying "I wrote the story for the saga and executive produced episodes V and VI. The movies all now belong to me legally."

Yes, I know Kershner didn't have a problem with the changes made to Empire.

Yes, I realize there are unsubstantiated accounts of how Lucas directed some of Jedi.

....

By the way, I completely agree with Axia that Lucas will remaster the OOT eventually.
