are you likely to revisit any of the ideas from your edit, now considering there has been a considerable amount of new ideas bashed about since its initial completion?

Maybe, but I want to do a more finished audio track that will synch with the original DVD first.  Once that is done I will be free to swap out temp footage and maybe revisit some of the story points.

I'll admit right now that I haven't been keeping up on the new breakthroughs in fan edits.  Prior to doing this one, I found copies of all the Episode 2 edits that had already been done, plus I stumbled across an old thread of a "lost edit"- I think the guy did it and then his computer crashed, and all he had was a written record of the changes.  That had a lot of innovative ideas I used.  Also, Mark Haslett is an actual screenwriter in LA and he is greatly responsible for the love story in SOTDS making sense.  Of course, the members at OT.com had a huge impact on the product because it was an open discussion and lots of people made suggestions. 

Now that I think back on it, I had made a huge Word file where I dumped every single Episode II editing idea I found.  Then I put them all in chronological order.  When a new one came, I would put that into the list.  Then I would pick the ones that I wanted to try.

But no, I have not seen those three Episode I edits mentioned in the post above, and I have not seen any Episode III edits yet, or any Episode II edits that came out after my rough cut. 

I guess I ought to try and hunt down copies to keep myself up to date with what is being done....

EDIT: I see a massive thread called "Prequel Redux" that looks chock-full of ideas.  It looks like I have a lot of homework to do!
