With the fan edits there is no more one single version of a story, but anyone can tell "his own". Adywan did (and will do) it. These are his edits and no one can change the editor's plan.

But no one is forced to accept them. Ady's ANH:R is surely the best edit of ANH available today but I think that is not the final version of it, simply a new point of reference for every fan edit in the future.

 

I admire the work done by Adywan but I totally disagree with some choice, like the new cut of the scene in Ben's hut in ANH, the choice to restore the original voice to Boba in ESB, the Lando-must-die thing, and even the plans for the prequels.

 

But Adywan's edits aren't Star Wars, simply Star Wars... "from a certain point of view".

Neither I can accept, now, to see Lando die in ROTJ -even if back in 1983 would be the better choice, along with the destruction of the Falcon- because I love the EU (and I'm also editing it: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/FIXED-UNIVERSE-The-Expanded-Universe-fan-editing-THE-WHOLE-THRAWN-TRILOGY-IS-NOW-AVAILABLE/topic/9508/ ). Personally I've already edited ANH:R for my personal viewing, restoring the Jabba's scene and the original Ben's hut scene (color corrected from Ady's purist version) and I've no doubt I'll edit both ESB and ROTJ.

 

So, Adywan is not destroying the EU... simply adding his contribution to Star Wars.
