Interesting thread. I think the three things that would benefit the most from fanedits are the ST novelizations. JarJar and CaptainFaraday have already done work on this. I think there’s a lot a stuff you could do in terms of structure and minor editing that would restore a sense of finality and respect the overall saga, while also being canon compliant. One idea I had was including a scene in the TROS novelization where Anakin’s force ghost appears to the slowly dying Leia. Leia forgives him and then decides to use the last of her energy to reach out to Ben. It creates a nice parallel of sons and daughters. Leia forgives her father (or tells him that she had already forgiven him long ago). Han forgives his child.

Another idea I had was moving the TLJ epilogue (broomboy) to the end of TROS. Instead of the kids just talking about Luke’s sacrifice, they talk about the whole saga. Heroes triumphing over the evil Empire, Luke’s sacrifice, and the Resistance defeating the First Order. The Skywalker Saga ends on the myth of their story and presents a hopeful future.
