And again this old argument pops up in the comments.

Am I the only person who thinks it's a bit disrespectful to "remix" someone else's films? Even if they are crappy? They were Lucas' films and by doing this it's like Grace is saying "Hey, I can do it better than you!" Even if he can, it's not really his place to do so. Would we all be so supportive if he remixed a classic film like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Citizen Kane, or the aforementioned Godfather?

Lucas has done this countless times already to his films. I know they are his creation (mostly), but fiddling with them seems to be his ongoing hobby.
*facepalm*
Anyway the edit in the article sounds interesting... "Accidental" leak would be superb.
