I meant to say that as long as the story is the same it doesn't matter what you do to present that story as long as it works in a satisfying way.

In ROTJ the Emperor lures the Rebels to attack a new Death Star which they think isn't yet functional but actually is.

That gives anyone reworking that aspect of the story a free range to present that in whatever way they want to, as long as it works.

These are the important questions to ask in regard to any change that's made.

Does it work? Did it work better before it was changed? Could it work better if it was done in a different way?

The dreaded C word isn't the same thing as telling the story, all canon does is tell us what the officially sanctioned chain of events are.

With fan edits and special editions those events change even if the story stays pretty much the same.

BTW as a Doctor Who fan for most of my life I hate the dreaded C word and If I type it again anyone reading this has my permission to fire Jar-Jar action figures up my nose or worse still force me to explain the UNIT dating problem until my nerd cortex explodes.
