I guess this is much like ANH:R's Great Flipper Debate™ which proved that sometimes deviating from how things were originally can be a vast improvement. Clearly the original intention was for it to be Ponda Baba's arm, but many thought it made more sense to be Evazan's. In that instance, Ady changed it as it did end up making more sense (not to mention look better).

In the case of the SD, it's still a really great shot either way (but accomplishes vastly different results from an editing perspective) but I don't really mind which way it goes. Either way Ady should remember not to feel restricted by the source material. It's not a preservation after all, but an edit (albeit with purist tendencies).

Likewise, he should not feel he has to bow to popular opinion either. This is his baby.
