The issue of Lucas changing the films would be irrelevant, nothing more than a bizarre, sometimes-interesting-sometimes-stupid side-story, which is always how I have treated it. It is what it is, and what that is is up to you to decide, but it ultimately is a separate issue from the OOT one. Lucas adding Jar Jar Binks to Return of the Jedi doesn't mean he can't also release the original. Even though there is a big anti-Lucas movement, that can sometimes be a big hindrance to us because people confuse one issue for another. I'm sure there are lots of people who would love to see the OOT but feel compelled to defend Lucas because people bash Jar Jar Binks, or the prequels, or whatever. It really makes no sense, and we bring it on ourselves by confusing the issues. It really sucks when an otherwise good piece on why the OOT needs to be restored gets ruined by someone who loses focus on the issue and starts putting emphasis on the crappiness of the prequels. I mean, yes, but at a certain point you also start alienating Lucas/prequel fans who--while not necessarily sharing any or many views with us, or even liking the films for the same reasons--nonetheless would be useful allies. While the fandom is and always will be divided over the prequels, almost every single person out there would say the originals should be preserved, and we tend to lose some useful activist because of their partisan politics. You could argue that is their fault--and I would agree--but in real life that doesn't accomplish much for either of us.
