Nice rant.
I can't argue over those details of scans and cameras, as you seem to know more about them than me, so I'll take them for granted.
But I can argue the bit of whose films Ep. V and VI were.... While you're right that George didn't direct them, he did produce them (as executive producer) and write them (although not the screenplay on ep. V - maybe that's why it's the best one?).
Writers tend to think of the movies as theirs, because they came up with the idea for the story.
Producers came up with the money to pay for the whole thing.
So yeah.... I'd say he has the right to think of the movies as his... as long as such credit is shared with the rest of the crew, mainly directors, screenplay writers and producers.
