American Graffiti only really has a title card change. Aside from that it's just an early version of a Director's Cut.  I'd hardly call American Graffiti "Lucas gone cgi-crazy version".  On the  other hand, Star Wars, Empire, Return, and THX are most definitely "Lucas gone cgi-crazy" versions.

If he alters even one scene of Graffiti for a Blu-ray version, I'll buy another copy or two of the 98 DVD. 

Yeah, that statement of mine was melodramatic, I admit. But it's still an unnessary tweak that reflects a CGI-crazy director. So I feel comfortable calling it that even though it doesn't change the storyline. The "altering box" have been opened...

EDIT: I must say though, that many of us would have been damn happy if we got the same kind of DVD release for Star Wars as we got with this '98 DVD, that basically would mean a beautiful anamorphic 1981 version. Sure we would still lament the absence of a '77 opening, the only thing that made me happy about the GOUT DVD.
