First of all, I don't agree with the premise that film preservation and the filmmaker making changes to his works, which he legally owns, are the same thing. Not by a long shot.
The changes and/or alterations the Lucas and other filmmakers have complained about in the past were those done by studios or producers, going against the wishes of the filmmaker(s).
Big difference, imho.
