But I also think for something like the Star Wars Holiday Special, where the creator/copyright holder (not sure about that status post-Disney acquisition) genuinely hates it and does not want it available to the public, the owner should be allowed to restrict access to it.

Personally I disagree on that too. If something has been made public once it should stay public, unless it contains actively harmful information or something.
