A fanditor cannot shoot new scenes and change the script, so no faneditor can change the fondamental issues and flaws of the PT, TFA and even ROTJ.
The Prequels are, in the main, beyond hope - though made better (to some extent - it’s mainly subjective) by some very talented Fan Editors out there…
As for shooting new scenes, and possibly adapting the script… [coughs…] Adywan [coughs…]
Though not actually shooting new scenes - but did add dialogue from other films or material, or recorded new or modulated dialogue - the ADigitalMan Edits and MagnoliaFan Edits accomplished that 12-15 years ago (likely some others too).
Hal9000, DigiMod & Sir Ridley have done (or are doing) some intriguing work on TFA - amongst other Fan Editors… yet most are seemingly only slight changes or personal preferences…
eldusto84 did some interesting work on R1 too, changing the the fundamental feel of the movie (whether good, bad or indifferent - again, all subjective), through centreing the focus on the more action-orientated last third of the movie.
