No. Just that the principle is the same as Lucas desire to make changes.

Proposal, redo Anakin's last scene in the suit with Hayden when he gets a little older and a reboot Luke. But because most shots of Anakin are close ups with maybe the back of Luke's head, swap it into the special edition to keep Hayden as Anakin in all appearance.
Well since everyone else jumping in, I might as well too. Peer pressure for the win!
I'm pretty indifferent to the changes in Jabba's Palace, but I actually prefer Hayden as Anakin at the end. It just made a lot more sense to me to show the person we had seen as Anakin for three movies rather than some random guy we had never seen before. And from an in universe perspective, it makes sense he would appear the way he looked when was Anakin rather than how he looked as Vader.

It would've died a very painful death without rehashing grievances during the Dark Ages of No Trek!The TrekBBS is sustained by rehashing grievances.
(Trek grievances or not!)
Now, if the changes to the Rescue ending were in-fact replacing Hammy with Stan, this entire argument might have merit.
But since that's not what is happening, it doesn't.
I've been around long enough to remember the endless, prattling Trek vs Wars debates. *shudders*
Honestly what I find most tedious about this kind of thing is that the talking points don't change. It's just the same complaints and counter-arguments bounced back and forth over and over and over. No new insights, no new perspectives, just stock, canned opinions yelled back at each other as if repeating them often enough will somewhen count as a "win".
It's why I ducked out of the B5 thread for long stretches. I swear you can set your clock by the time it takes for someone to whinge about Byron's hair as if they're the first ones ever to bring up this point...
Also why I tend to stay out of the Trek forums these days. I peeked back in for Discovery and Picard, only to find people having the same arguments they did 15 years ago. No thank you very much!
Personally I'd rather ENJOY the things I enjoy and engage with them in a positive light. It's why you'll rarely find me in a thread about something I'm not a fan of. If I don't like it, I don't watch it and generally I don't inflict that disposition on everyone else. Life's too short.
I watched Return of the Jedi recently. I have no recollection which of the two songs played, and thus which is the old one or the new one.
I don't think I've ever seen Trek vs Wars threads around here. The closest thing I remember was someone starting a thread wanting to know how an X-Wing would fare against the Enterprise, but all the replies that thread got were basically variations of "do even realize how badly you just embarrassed yourself?"
I vaguely remember there being a spate of them across a bunch of forums back in the early 2000's. Here, Flare, and I think another one who's name I've forgotten (subspace comms net?) I think it was mostly spill-over from a site dedicated to discussing that and only that. Haven't seen a serious attempt at rekindling the topic in forever, thankfully.
Still, we all know that sooner or later an official crossover will happen, igniting such discussions to unheard highs. It’s only a matter of time and money.
Maybe, when Disney buys the TREK franchise and tries to integrate it into the MCU...
Then fanbois across the globe will finally have their Trek vs Wars crossover movie.
I'd be more interested in finally seeing Patrick Stewart facing off against himself. Picard meets Xavier!
I don't recall if Picard ever met Xavier in any of the X-Men crossovers in the novels or comics, but I do recall that when the X-Men met Picard in Michael Jan Friedman's novel, The X-Men definitely noticed the resemblance. And this was before Patrick Stewart was even cast.

I definitely remember Picard and Xavier meeting in the one crossover comic I read. Don't really remember what happened, though.
That sounds completely awful. As if the MCU was not difficult enough already to keep pace with.
I'm aware of the book, I was just perplexed by your contradicting yourself.
Xavier and Picard never met in that book.
