Lucas may have notes and scripts to back up some of the changes he's made, but not all of them. The Greedo shooting first change is a prime example. fprgetting all that though, it doesn't matter if he can make the arguement that these aren't the special editions. So what> they aren't the original either. If he wants to get around the legalities of it, he would have to dub these something else like Star Wars Trilogy Version 3.0 or some other such nonsense. The Original trilogy is just that, the original trilogy. No matter how much GL wants to erase it from history, it can't be done. Calling this release "The Star Wars trilogy" without any kind of qualifier to let prospective consumers know that while these are star wars movies, they aren't the original versions, puts him on shakey ground. If Francis Ford Copolla went back and reshot and edited the Godfather films, and then released it as the godfather trilogy, he'd be in the same boat. That's why appocalypse now Redux is called what it is, because it's not Appocalypse Now, it's something else. So, just because these are these versions are the Star Wars trilogy to George, doesn't make them the Star Wars trilogy under the law.
