If people condemn Lucas just for making changes but wish to make changes of their own, then the charge of hypocrisy would be valid; however, I do not think that many people here do condemn Lucas just for the changes made to the Special Editions. I certainly do not. What people do condemn him for is failing to preserve the original versions in high quality and wishing to erase a part of cinema history.

As I said before, Adywan wants both his versions and the original versions to be available to people, which is completely different from Lucas, who only wants the 2004 Special Editions to be available to people. I cannot see why anyone would deny the logic of this.

Moreover, I have yet to hear Adywan calling for the 2004 Special Editions to be erased from history or deny that Lucas should have made them. He even restored the 1997 Special Edition of ESB that Lucas has not released. In fact, a number of preservations of the 1997 Special Editions have been made by members of this forum, and these have generated a fair amount of interest. This should be enough to show that we are not all Lucas-hating zealots who only like the theatrical versions.
