I find it hard to believe anyone would want to do a fan edit of ANH, after seeing ANH:R and knowing an HD version is in the works. If it was one of the other movies (excluding ESB), I would understand it. Fan edits of ANH are extremely rare and ANH:R is pretty much THE definitive version.
Fan edits are very subjective works. What's 'definitive' for one might be awful for another - whether they feel it goes too far, doesn't go far enough, or could have changed things in a different way.
I know Angel in particular had a visual style of doing things which was pretty different to Ady's. Revisited is more "purist" in its goals (retaining the 70's look whilst still fixing things) but other editors want to update and change more than Ady is, and that's fair enough if that's what they feel is an improvement. That's the beauty of fan edits - they cater for yourself and those like you.
