Here's my reasoning for a single "Revisited Thread"
A discussion about Han Solo's character arc takes place, focused on ESB:R. However, after discussing "I Love You" "I know" for two pages... we move into a discussion of Greedo shooting first and why that's wrong... but, should that conversation carry on for more than half a page... someone pops up (and... per forum rules, rightfully so) and says wrong thread for this discussion... Which means everyone involved in the discussion now has to switch threads to carry on a conversation. They then have to check back to the original thread to check the start of the conversation they were having, before popping back to the new thread to respond.... It makes things difficult.
I think having another "all encompassing" thread with the revisited name would just introduce a problem that's the opposite of the one you're trying to solve - people bringing ideas up in that thread when they'd be more suitable in the official thread for the episode in question. And I think we all know that Ady has his work cut out for him keeping track of suggestions on just one thread, let alone another of a less focused topic.
I also think it would also add confusion to new members about which thread is "official".
Something akin to the "OT Radical Redux" thread (a similar thread has been made for suggestions for ANH:SE) would be acceptable, though of course it wouldn't be limited to just revisited suggestions - which IMO is how it should be. One revisited thread for each episode (not counting the PT:R which I'm assuming will have one thread as it's all being edited simultaneously) Then people will be able to mention any episode they please without the off-topic police chiming in, and thank god for that. ;-)
Anyway, I can't wait for this. It's a good year for 'fan edits' (of a sort) for me as a fan made remake of one of my favourite games of all time (Half Life) is coming out in less than 3 days. And if you guys think TESB:R has taken a while, they started this in 2003!
