That article is traveling fast, at least your link has the update with SSW.c link. The next piece for people to read, shows that LFL did actually permanently alter the film. (negatives)

The negatives of the movies were permanently altered for the creation of the Special Editions, and existing prints of the first versions are in poor condition.

This quote is mentioned in the SSW.c article:

So that's an idea for the place to have these articles link to next. Not sure though, ahh they cherry pic quotes, and that's the one which shows what LFL did. Reinforcing the other quote. Ah the articles are there, people will read at their own pace.
