All things aside, the debate over the Tie Fighters have GOTTA end. Honestly, it's not like Ady's throwing away a perfect recipe for curing cancer.....it's an EDIT! It's no different than GL himself has done MANY times since the initial run of SW. Things are taken out, replaced, changed...etc., etc., etc. and there are many out there who embrace changes while others cannot think of ANY OTHER version of SW except the one(s) they saw in theaters the first time.
Fine. Good. Awesome. TERRIFIC.
In case it's been forgotten, this place has about 12 KerBILLION edits of 6 movies....and probably over 90% of them involve the GOUT. Ady's determination and decisions made his SW:R edit what it is, and if the overwhelming feedback is correct then at some point he'll decide he needs to draw a line and whether we like it or not that's what it will be. A few pages back I asked about something being done with the AT-ST's (remove them OR make them more of a threat somehow). If Ady never even remotely considers the notion, then that's just another decision he made and for good or bad I will watch ESB:R and enjoy all 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the rest of the edit. In the end, my suggestion is a drop in Ady's LARGE pool of ideas...the same as anyone else's. If they cause a ripple effect and Ady adjust the level and flow of the pool then that's great. If it turns out that suggestion drops onto a thin sheet of ice that's suddenly formed over the surface of the water, then even though it doesn't get through doesn't mean that the pool's gone dry. It just means that there are other ideas that might hit a spot that doesn't have that thin layer of ice over it.
Come on now, let's all kiss and make up!
