How does George Lucas rationalize making changes to his movies while speaking out against alterations of other pieces of film heritage?
I can give you an answer right now...
What he was specifically speaking about was the colorization of the Three Stooges. They were shot in black and white, always meant to be seen in black and white, and the changes that are being done are not being done by the original director.
With Star Wars, he had always considered the originals rough cuts and always wanted to make them bigger, but had neither the time, technology nor money. Plus, they are his creations.
A better question would be asking why Lucas is ignoring a large amount of fans by not putting out the originals, or something of that nature.
I really would not bother submitting any. The last question they have answered is from March, and if they were to answer a question now, it would probably not be something of this nature.
