George had a right to change star wars whether we like it or not is another thing.
What i would challenge him on had i the chance to do so is re-editing someone else's film. Now on empire even though he gave Kersh final cut he redid empire in 1997 and onward, but since Kersh allowed that i will let that slide. But Marquand was dead and he had also been given final cut by Lucas but had his film changed posthumously by the director of the first film also known as star wars.
