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?

I've given up on the negative. Just use an IP, there's nothing unfixable about any of the existing ones, even with all their weird glue marks, age, scratches and colors. In 2014, home video is dealing with problematic old sources every day, it's no big deal. (And GL wouldn't have had them destroyed. Not because it would be wrong but because you would need them for further changes and dicking around- they are sort of the de facto negative for the original composites that are too deteriorated. The Blade Runner final cut has shots that only existed in the workprint which is even further down the pipeline. And they're scanned and integrated with original negative pretty seamlessly)
