Regarding fan edits, I feel much the same way about Star Wars as I do about endangered animals (let's say a cute one like a Panda). Fan preservations, we can all probably agree, actually save the pandas. That's all good. I feel the same way about Lucas as I do about someone who not only plans to hunt down and kill every last panda, but to grind them up and turn them into hamburgers that don't even taste good, and sell them at a premium as "Panda Burgers". And you don't even want to know how he recycles them and sells them back to you again a little bit later (and tasting a little worse), but let's just say the plumbing in his restaurant's bathroom isn't exactly up-to-code.

...er, where was I...

Oh yeah, fan edits. Fan edits are like a guy who knows a lot about pandas, loves them, and has a ton of resources that could be put toward saving them. But instead he flies to China, takes a picture of a Panda about to get shot by Lucas, and puts a LOLCATS caption on it. The fact that I don't have to watch it is beside the point. There's just something disrespectful about it, like laughing at a funeral.

Maybe I'd feel better about fan edits once I don't actually think the films are in danger anymore. I certainly don't care one way or another about fan edits of other films, so that's probably true.
