Wait, what? Wasn't there someone here that were up in knots about the
original trilogy should be archived outside of lucasfilm? And now we
know it is?

Don't get too excited. That quote says "March 1978", which is almost one
year after the original release, so who knows what changes George Lucas
had already made by then. ;-)

True. We should sort through the posts and find out who was upset
there were no archived copies and send them this information.

There's a website that covers all the changes in all the versions:
March 1978 release:
- Added: A scene in which Han shots first to make him seem tougher
and Greedo less of a clutz.
- Removed: The Leia/Luke sex scene and the "glad we're not brother
and sister" line.
- Removed: All references to Obi-wan being Luke's father.
- Changed: Chewbacca changed to a growling sasquatch replacing the
cartoon Jamaican rabbit of the original release.
- Changed: "Yakkety Sax" (The Benny Hill Theme) replaced with
original music.
- Changed: Death Star main gun is now innie instead of outie so it
looks less like a giant breast.
- A scene where Vader's TIE is destroyed and the Emperor comes to
Yavin to announce his abdication.
- Scenes set of Yavin in which Jawas defeath Stormtroopers in ground
combat.
- A scene in which a Stormtrooper hits his head or helmet on the top
of a door in the Deathstar.
Those are the changes listed on the page, but I'm sure there are more.
