It's a tough one
I can understand an artist wanting to improve their work, make it more like the vision they had but couldn't deliver at the time, but that's not the same work of art the audience fell in love with.
I suppose we should just love both, but they are not the same, will always have an inequality about them. It begs us to judge one as better than the other, which we should not have to do, can put us at odds with the artist, damages our relationship with either the original work or the artist.
I think the problem with Lucas is that he went beyond subtly improving the work and actually changed things.
And don't get me started on bonus tracks added to the end of concept albums.
