Besides "The films need to be the way I want them," has Lucas stated anything as to why the Blu-rays became the travesty that they are?

Ah, the old Greedo scene débat! I don't like the Greedo change either, but:

- I did not even notice the change the first time I saw the SE in theater. I guess I was blinking the eyes or thinking about something else.

- Saying that it changes the whole character of Han Solo is just not true. It just changes  half a second of screentime and Han Solo have more than enough other scenes to define his character. Don't get me wrong: it looks stupid and it changes a bit the feeling of "dangerousness" of Han Solo but his character is still the same.

- I understand fans who can be pissed by this change (I am), but I don't understand how it became THE main focus of the hate when you have that idious new Jabba scene, the Jedi Rock number, etc... I guess "who shot first?" was just a nice catch phrase that focused all the hate in one single point.

- I think we all agree that the problem is not "who shoot first", the problem is that we don't have the choice of the version.
