What Adywan achieved with Star Wars Revisited was pretty damn impressive in terms of special effects but he takes too many creative liberties in his Revisited releases for my liking.

I like them as fan-edits -- I expect a fan-edit to change the movie. War of the Stars changes it even more. For something true to the original, choose a preservation project.

You misunderstood what I said there. Fan edits change the editing of a film so they are changing the movie, it goes with the territory so I have no problem with that whatsoever.

When you start adding your own content though, like adding your own models into the film, that is what I mean by taking too many creative liberties, that is going too far IMHO.

In my mind that is no longer a fanedit because you are doing more than just editing or colour grading, you're adding new stuff, things that were never in the film to begin with. I have too much respect for the filmmaker's original vision and the craftmanship that went into making the films to watch a version of these classics with new content added by someone else not connected to the original production.
