I don't think it makes you a dick, but I'm pretty sure it makes you pathetic. Honestly, what a waste of an investment of care. There are plenty of other causes elsewhere on the internet, you should start searching for one more worthwhile.
Did the rocks inside your head rattle around as you posted this? They're nothing alike.
An artist's canvas is a one of a kind item, a completely unique work or art - only one exists. Breaking into SkyWalker ranch, stealing the original Star Wars masters and altering them is no different than painting over someone else's original work of art perhaps, but why bother when Lucas is clearly busy doing just that? Fan edits are like taking a photocopy or reproduction of a work of art after seeing horrible alterations done to the original canvas, and then caringly cleaning the reproduction so that it resembles the long lost work of art the world initially fell in love with.
If Da Vinci, on his death bed, had painted over Mona Lisa's smile, painted a jester's cap on top of her head, and drew ridiculous, fluffy eyebrows on her forehead would you really begrudge another artist for trying to recreate the original masterpiece on a separate canvas? It has nothing to do with altering the original canvas - it has long since been altered by its creator. It's about wanting to look at the original art again.
Trying to reproduce the Original Trilogy in high quality has nothing to do with spiting Lucas or his "personal art" - it's a tribute to his original work. A reflection of the image that originally appeared on the canvas.

You're like an actual talking ass. A "cowardly" attempt? Honestly, you sound like such a silly cunt. Get over yourself.
