ISA is primarily for adaptations, remakes, and Alternate Universe retellings of the same story. It can, according to the description, include sequels, but only when the sequel is a Recycled Plot that retells the same story. So, I'm not seeing any valid examples in that folder.

The note about the novelization might count, as it is an adaptation of the movie that changed a detail many fans complained about.

Such misuse is not just under that folder, but all the folders under the page. Is there an appropriate cleanup to take this to?

Question about these examples:

  • The Digital Head Swap of Carrie Fisher's face in the flashback of Luke training Leia is less visibly jarring than the same treatment in Rogue One, helped by the nighttime setting and using lightsabers as light sources rather than Rogue One's direct white lighting. After the film premiered, audiences learned that Leia's body double was Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd.
  • Lucasfilm’s marketing for Star Wars Rebels drew some criticism as trailers and ads would heavily promote a guest character or upcoming event. The marketing for The Mandalorian is decidedly more conservative, heavily employing Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer and no comments on leaked casting news, preserving the surprise for the audience. Favreau even convinced Disney to not produce any merchandise of the Child/Grogu to preserve his reveal for the series premiere, despite Disney losing millions in potential revenue; and Season 2’s guest appearance from Luke Skywalker was a complete surprise that managed to stay secret for an entire year. Season 2’s marketing also did not show any footage from the second half of the season.
  • Pre-release, there was criticism that the Grand Inquisitor lacked his yellow dark side eyes in the previews. Come the release of the show, they were added in digitally.
  • The Third Sister slashing off a civilian's hand with her lightsaber in the first episode was a welcome surprise, as Disney has been notorious for its lack of dismemberment with lightsabers in recent properties. Part III even has an unlucky Stormtrooper get bisected by a laser gate on-screen, too.
  • This is the third timenote  that James Earl Jones has reprised the voice of Darth Vader in the Disney era, but many have noted that Jones' inflection was "off" in Rebels and that he was clearly sounding his age in Rogue One. Here, Vader sounds just like he did when the original trilogy was being made, due to the crew using Respeecher to replicate Jones' younger Vader voice, like what was done to recreate Mark Hamill's younger voice for Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
  • The A.I. voice for Luke in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett was criticized for sounding lifeless at times, while the Vader voice in this show sounds much more natural, probably helped by the fact that Vader’s voice has always had a robotic filter over it.

Are any of these (similar with improved FX, different marketing) valid Improved Second Attempt?
