I think if you accept that, as a fan, you didn't make the films and therefore they're not yours, then that's a step towards understanding. It's got nothing to do with "moral character" - I really find that remark bewildering, to be honest - and more to do with an artist who will never be happy with what he has created. Feel sorry for Lucas, if you must, but I think that's about as far as any negativity should go.
Everytime the films come out, they will have had changes made to them. The original films were flawed to begin with; Lucas is just replacing old flaws with new ones (well, not all the changes are flawed - like a lot of fans, there are some changes which I think look fine, and some could do with being re-done, other changes are superfluous and one particular change is absolutely criminal (the removal of "Bring my shuttle" and the insert of Vader arriving at the second Death Star right in the middle of the hyperspace chase).
I'm not so attached, though, to any version of the films. Certainly not to the point where it breaks my heart or I feel depressed that a particular version won't make it to Blu-ray. Does that make me somehow a better person? No. Am I right and others wrong? No.
Just so we're clear here :)
