In defense of old GL, the colorization of the Stooges and the SW special editions are different. The decision to make the SEs was George's, since he is the creator he has the ability to change something that he had created without compromising "fairness to the artist." The argument about the colorization of old movies is that they are often colorized without any consideration of the creators or artisans responsible. Granted, Columbia/Tristar may have gotten authorization from the Stooges estates, but those responsible for those films have been dead for decades. There are many hypocritical things that Lucas does, but this one is definitely a gray area.
