I just think it's a testament to his delusion that he would see that as criminal but what he's doing as just peachy,

I don't think it's possible to even comprehend the level of delusion that George Lucas has. On the one hand he still promotes preserving films in their original forms for the benefit of future generations, and on the other hand he claims that the OT as released in cinemas in '77, '80 and '83 were just rough cuts that should never have seen the light of day, so therefore they shouldn't exist at all. It truly makes me wonder if he realises the hypocrisy of what he says and does (and if so, then logically we can assume he doesn't care), or if his perception of things is so warped that he sees film preservation and Star Wars as two totally separate issues.
