Couple of points Arkanian.

First, welcome to the boards.

Second, I can understand you didn't like some of the things Ady did, but saying he's acting like Lucas is a little uncalled-for. I don't think there are many here besides the man himself who agree with every single change he made, but we don't have to; while he posts here for feedback and incorporates some of our suggestions, it's his personal project. Furthermore, this is a fan-edit, and one of the things fan-edits often do is change the story. If in the story he doesn't get a medal, but Adywan thinks the story/film would be better if he did, then he gets a medal. Ady will be making considerable story changes when he gets around to Return of the Jedi and especially the prequels. I don't think Ady's versions will replace the originals for any of us; they might replace the SE as alternative versions.

As for asking that these things be addressed, I'm afraid Adywan does not intend to make another release of ANH:R, and no release could ever satisfy everyone. What you can do, however, is take his edit and make your own little changes (just be sure to give him the credit if you release it). The two examples you mentioned should be relatively trivial to change back.
