Can fan edits fix continuity errors with the original trilogy like Owen Lars fearing luke being just like his father, obi wan saying he took it upon himself to train anakin as a Jedi, dialog in empire that sounds like obi wan and yoda’s relationship was master and apprentice even though that wasn’t the case etc.

Owen fearing Luke would turn out like the man he saw in the prequels, while Beru saw the same man and came away with a less negative impression works perfectly with the PT IMO. Anakin showed a dark side with his rescue of his mother, but he also did a valiant thing (saving his mom).
Beru and Owen are in like 10 minutes of one of the 3 OT movies, and they die offscreen. I’m not sure why some fans think they should have been big players in the backstory.

Obi Wan did take it upon himself to train Anakin as a Jedi. We just also see the events that preceded that.

Yoda did train Obi Wan, from a certain point of view.

The PT outright clashes with almost none of the OT, it merely recontextualizes some lines. But the OT does that to itself all the time as well. The father twist alone mangles Obi Wan’s earlier words much more than the existence of Qui-Gon does.
