I wasn't talking about STAR WARS at all, I was talking about fan edits and editors in general. And even so, I said fanediting was a bit different, but still, the editor of the film "never recruited and directed the actors,liased with the art,special effects and production crews and consulted and collaborated with the musical composer or concieved of the ideas and scenarios that are encapsulated in the scripts."

And that's what I was answering to and saying, that editing is a whole separate art from these things you mentioned before. And I do see your point about a fan editor not having the same right to re-edit a film, as its original creator - that's also why a fan editor can't release his/her creation as any kind of official release, while the original creator can.

And the rest of my post still stands.
