You've probably also got the issue that Ady would then be distributing the original published material; Lucasfilm/MPAA might not appreciate that.

I know what you're getting at, but do you think color correcting and adding/fixing stuff at home makes it not the original published material? He doesn't own them. They could shut him down any time they felt like it. (what would someone say? 'You'll be hearing from my lawyers, Lucasfilm!'? Heh.) We're just glad they haven't said/done anything in this regard.

There's a difference between distributing modified footage with the disclaimer "you must own the original" and distributing the original footage.

After watching the special features on Robot Chicken Star Wars I & II, as well as Blue Harvest and Something Something Something Dark Side, I think if Adywan contacted George Lucas, the response would be "let's sell it".
