In any event, there's no reason Lucas can't leave his damn films alone aside from fixing lighting, matt lines, color issues or what not. Instead he still gets those obvious things wrong, but manages to add cartoonish stuff absolutely no one but himself wants to see in these classic films.

.. as demonstrated by this prime example:

<-- 2003 TV (film ver.2)

In this shot, the film was threaded too tight inside the camera. This caused intermittent drag during exposure, resulting in vertical blurring (the direction of film travel in camera). It is most noticeable in brightly exposed areas -- the overhead lights, in this case. Lucas probably couldn't go back for a re-shoot, so he added sound effects to mask it as a deliberate visual effect. But anyone who's ever watched movies knows this was a mistake (like a "mic in picture") and an obviously absurd "fix".

But, in 2004, GL threw real money into a new edit, complete with computer animated monkey-creatures ... except he never fixed this mistake! Instead, he puts additional actors into the originally empty hallway and brightens them when the blurred exposure shows on the lights!

<-- 2004 DVD (film ver.3)

This is the filmmaking genius George Lucas?
