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?

Well, we don't even need someone like Kurtz explaining it to us, the scene as it plays out in the original film is very simple and speaks for itself. You need to be a brainless toddler if you don't understand what's going on in that scene.

Ultimately that's why this particular change is so indicative of the problems with the Special Editions… unlike some of the other sequences, it was an alteration that was clearly NOT what was originally intended in '77, and it was poorly executed in all versions… and all arguments to the contrary just end up sounding condescending because Lucas is making it about us not being able to suss out what happened in this extremely straightforward scene.
