Almost feels like ol' George felt so urked by fanedits that he decided to set about making Ep3 100% uneditable, saturating it with so much crap and awfulness that no amount of editing could remove anything like a significant amount of it.

You know, as much as I would like to believe that isn't the case - deep down I really do believe Lucas is that spiteful. The non-anamorphic release of the originals reeks of him showing the fans who's boss. It's very strange to see a director go to such great lengths battling his own fan base. Fascinating behavior - in a train wreck sort of way.
