With all of the above being said, I’d just like to add 3 small caveats, with no aggressive intentions:
You can criticize something and appreciate it at the same time; they are not mutually exclusive.
If it’s ok to criticize George Lucas, then it’s ok to criticize a fan who has changed George Lucas’s work
Fan editors do their work knowing that people will have responses, and if they get offended they are fully capable of speaking up for themselves.
Good Points, both Lucas and Fan Editors will make decisions that I or you might not like and that’s to be expected.
But don’t forget George Lucas made like 10 billion from creating Star Wars. He was very well paid to deliver something. The Fan Editors do it for free so that’s why my thinking is that we want to encourage them as best we can by using delicate wording when offering suggestions. That’s my only point here.
