The problem with fan re-edits is that they will always be obvious fan re-edits. You can always see the cuts and that takes you out of the picture.

The only one i watched is the Q2 edit of the Twin Peaks movie with the deleted scenes added. I hated the theatrical cut and I loved this one, felt like season 3.

I feel like only adding deleted, removed, or previously lost scenes is acceptable; anything else feels more like the fan wanting to make their own movie but can't so they make do with editing a movie already done.

I feel like it's good as an exercise in editing/pace management, only to be showcased to friends or in a conspicuous way to avoid name calling, probably might even be a good example on a theoretical basis.
Otherwise it feels a bit pompous, it might have good intentions but re-editing a movie is like redrawing a painting or a sketch, it only manages to smear or belittle the creators in the long run, even if they did a very poor job for starters.
And in the vast majority of cases the flicks are screwed from the start because the creative decisions came from the script and were homogenized with the "healthy" parts, re-editing them sometimes just shows it never had any hope even before a budget was handed on.

The only real use of fan edits is editing adaptations closer to the source material.

Interesting. I was checking the fanedits on myspleen and someone made a 3+ hour version of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He adds an overture and intermission to made it a roadshow cut. I doubt I'd ever watch this, but here are his comments.

<Well after my take on the extended cut of the Hateful 8 available here I decided to get the web download of Tarrantino’s new Once Upon a Time in Hollywood plus the separate special features/extra’s that are available to buy and try and duplicate a form of Roadshow/Extended Cut to mirror my Hateful 8 Extended Cut.
<This is not a straight forward duplicate of the standard theatrical cut, as in the standard cut is 2hrs 41mins and this version is 3hrs 7mins around 26mins longer.
<How did I achieve this fan edit, well I inserted all the available deleted scenes back into the movie as well as inserting a Overture, an Intermission and 2 of the 60’s made tv commercials that Tarrantino made but didn’t make the final cut.
<The run of the movie is an overture followed by a Red Apple advertisement before the movie kicks in, the overture title card I created and tried to make it look basic and bright for the setting of the Hollywood Hills movie.

Myspleen has 446 fanedits, of which 124 involve Star Wars.

That's the part I was missing, I knew composites were fine, I just felt a bit assblasted by QT.

I was trying to find a movie (this is an understatement, I am going insane trying to find this) from the early 2000's and ended up looking through the entire wikipedia list of movies released by year, then ended up in Independent lists, at least 1/4th of every Indie movie released between 2002 and 2007 is Star Wars, I was surprised.  
 
Fuck it, can I make a "name this film" thread? I've posted in every other site, no one knows about the one I'm looking for, maybe /film/ will lend a  hand?
