Of course he does, Jimbo. None of us are arguing that point. But there is a difference. If I continue to work on a painting that no one has seen for years and years and completely alter it, it doesn't make a difference because nobody but I have ever seen the thing. With Lucas, millions and millions of people have watched the original versions of his movies so they are part of the public consciousness. We are more than aware of their existence. In fact, many of us prefer them. So, he can change them all he wants, but he should keep copies of the originals out there for us as well. If I had ever displayed that painting of mine for people to see, I would feel obligated to keep copies of my original work out there before I alter it. It's just the decent thing to do for those people who made you the multibillionaire that you are (not that I am one... I can wish).
