Did you not read the tweet above where he said:

"I tried it once and I learned to regret it" - Spielberg on changing ET

Isn't it his right to NOT include a SE?

Of course he is. But then again, so is Lucas in his right to not include the original. Personally, I would like to see both versions released.

A director withholding a previously released SE and a director withholding a theatrical version is not comparable.

I don't know. Is it a question or ORIGINAL INTENT or is it a question of film history? The ET SE is still a piece (arguably a notable piece) of film history.

This.
