It has everything to do with the opening on this thread. Complaints of editing to make the prequels fit the oot, when the prequels as they are should not even have been made.

I see no need for Lucas to change Empire at all. The 2004 edits to make the film fit the prequels made even less sense than what he made with the prequels.

I see the prequels basically as an experiment that went wrong or an add on that is not really necessary just like the 1997 and 2004, does not need to take away the enjoyment of the oot, while at the same time is not necessary for the enjoyment of said films. In fact only seeing the oot is infinitely preferable.

As for FAN Edits l i don't have to tell anyone that i dislike them in general and i only really care about preservation, but if i wanted to see a special edition i would watch ady's. His color correction of Empire using the 2004 source is remarkable.
