I think I'm one of those guys that does not mind the existence of multiple universes in Star Wars. As I've said elsewhere, I appreciate Star Wars as simply the OT, sometimes the OT and PT, and sometimes as the OT and some EU. I think with the various fanedits around, I extend each the same courtesy to each of them. I watch them, enjoy them as an alternate but similar story, consider how I might like the concepts there better than the official storyline, and hope that one day one will be completed that will surpass all else.
For these reasons I truly like these radical redux threads. For instance, I would love to see Count Dukoo as a misguided renegade instead of the new Sith apprentice. He'd be a more interesting villain because it would allow for more grey area instead of so much black and white. I would love to see two Death Stars. I would love to see a lengthier and grander space battle and ground battle as part of Endor. I would love to see more romantic discussions about sand and quick forgiveness for the mass murder of innocent primitive people. Well, maybe not that last sentence. In any case, there is so much I love discussing and there are so many ideas that make for a fascinating series that were not incorporated. I hope that one day I do have a six part series that will be definitive for me. But for now, I enjoy the originals, the many edits, and the radical redux threads allowing me to imagine grander possibilities.
As an additional note, I still think there should be more cooperation and sharing among the many talented editors here. For instance, there are two Ep III edits going on that show great strengths in different aspects from two talented editors (one more auditory and musical, the other more visual with neat special effects). I think neither feels like working directly with the other, though they are sharing a few things. I honestly feel a large project utilizing the strengths of multiple editors would get a project done quicker and with a finer end product. If no one could work together like this due to different visions of the end product, the editors should at least be willing to allow other editors to borrow and build off of their fanedits without reservation. After all, each editor is simply borrowing from George Lucas. If more cooperation of this sort took place, I imagine that many more of these radical but brilliant ideas could become a reality.
