Even early on Lucas was tinkering with the audio and even changing some lines between theatrical releases, though it was only later that he got really heavy-handed with adding scenes, adding CGI elements, and changing effects. But the point is the term is a joke, a funny way to refer to the earlier versions. It’s not Orwellian revisionism, but an entertaining way to refer to attempts to get access to an earlier edition/version that Lucas/Disney haven’t released.
