Some interesting tidbits from aintitcoolnews:
I heard a rumor recently from someone in a position to know who claimed that George Lucas has begun to quietly petition the DGA to let him alter the credits for both EMPIRE and JEDI when they are finally released as “THE ARCHIVAL EDITIONS” in 2007, since he feels they’re essentially new movies after all the work he’s done on them. Yeah, that’s right. EMPIRE would say “Directed By George Lucas and Irvin Kershner” now. Same thing on JEDI. A shared director’s credit.

The article goes on to say that the original versions of the movies may or may not be released on DVD.
Why alter an already perfect movie?
