Yeah, I think people would just be disappointed because they’re not the same story.
Hal’s prequel edits don’t follow the plots of the books they’re named after either.
But those books aren’t put on a pedestal by fans the way the Thrawn trilogy has been for almost 30 years.
Yup. the only sequel I’d want to potentially change the name of in an edit is The Rise of Skywalker, and only if it was a “Rey nobody” edit.
