There are more than 30 cuts incorporating the new material across the 2 minutes, changing the film as much as possible from the Theatrical Cut. As a result the audio is currently a cut up mess so I've muted it and temporarily overlayed a nice bit of Korngold. I've also done a few cuts just to change it up a bit and I've finally found a way to successfully restore the 'Threepio getting blown up/tangled' sequence to it's original placement.
