Creating fan edits of novels seems like a really good idea to me! This way we can not only create Canon versions of the Legends books, but also Legends versions of the Canon books. Also we can take the Legends books that contain references to TCW and remove these references, so that these books can fit with the pre-Filoni and pre-TCW lore. For example, we can take the Darth Plagueis novel and modify it, eliminating all references to the TCW lore (Darth Maul born on Dathomir etc).

Agreed. I already see a few folks taking a stab at the TROS novelization. A Darth Plagueis canon edit would be very cool too, as there are only a few contradictions (Dooku leaving the order and Maul’s mother).

To everyone else, the purpose of this novel edit was to bring Labyrinth of Evil into canon continuity. However, it seems that it will be retconned by the upcoming novel “Brotherhood,” which will feature its own version of the Cato Nemodia incident. This novel edit will now be better for those that keep Siege of Mandalore in their Legends timeline and want it to coexist with Labyrinth. That was actually the initial intent and is also why references to the Republic comics and other Legends content is kept in the edit.
