The only argument I've heard consistently is the one you last mentioned — Lucas' right to alter his own work. But I've always been a believer in the contract between author and audience. Once you release a work as complete, you are giving it over for your audience to interact with. If he was so unhappy with his "incomplete", imperfect, or defective films, he had no business releasing them as finished products in the first place. He's violated the contract, and he's admitting to entering into it dishonestly besides.

Apparently even Lucas supports eminent domain.
