Aaaaaaaaaand there goes one of the classic OT.com gripes.
Not really. For example, was it always Lucas' vision to have Luke scream when falling into the chasm in ESB or not? Whichever answer you pick, George has unquestionably changed his vision over time on at least SOME matters.
That said, I agree with the principle that actually George hasn't changed his original vision very much. I believe he always intended to do things that would have resulted in the OT sucking, but either due to youthful humility or necessity, he originally took the advice of others to make them much, much better films. But there are also plenty of things he could never have reasonably intended.
