Look at the myriad of changing stories & excuses - lost, ruined, Grand Vision, money, technology, no demand, etc, etc - that he's given for not properly releasing the 1977 version of Star Wars. It doesn't matter how many people continually ask for it, or expose and prove him a liar. He just doesn't want to, so he digs his heels in even more.
All kidding aside, he's not right mentally.
I heard somewhere once that later in life Monet destroyed as many of his old paintings as he could find because he was crazy or an ass or both.

It might have been Manet. Art's not my thing.
