This particular change is the least offensive to a lot of Star Wars geeks. Tusken Raiders are afraid of krayt dragons, and Obi-Wan was supposed to be mimicking a krayt mating call, but the original sound he made was of something else, so Lucas decided to retcon because, I mean, who doesn't know what a krayt mating call sounds like?
Lucas has said that all of the changes made were to finally bring his original vision of the films to life, as technology wasn't advanced enough in the late 70's/early 80's, but the addition of Hayden Buttholeson, among many other changes, really tore a hole in that statement. Doesn't hold up, and he's doing the exact same thing with the 3D releases of the NT. Dude just likes making money, and we're all stupid enough to keep giving it to him.
