Needless to say, anyone may use anything of mine for whatever they want; I just ask that if you borrow extensively and directly that you acknowledge what you’re doing.
I’d say if this were going to move forward, RogueLeader would need to guide the process and set the parameters; we would likely wander aimlessly if we wait for a totally organic consensus to emerge on any of the particulars; you can’t do everything and not all ideas are congruent with one another.

If your intent is to edit all of the films for continuity, I’d actually suggest having Padme die in Ep3; it’s much easier to simply remove the dialogue from ROTJ. (For me, I’d rather alter the prequels than the OT.) I’m not sure that’s a goal that can be satisfactorily addressed, given how pervasive the serial nature of the series has been. Can Obi-Wan and the droids be separated throughout the prequels, for example?

I will say, TFA:R V2(.1) was a wonderful experience and the project ended up in a vastly better place than I ever had any hope for. It was driven by clear goals, though, so that’s probably a good place to begin with.
I’m happy with my saga setup of my prequels, whatever the best OOT preservation at the moment is, TFA:R, and my upcoming TLJ pruning. (And hopefully an Ep9 which won’t cry out for editing ala ROTJ and TFA.) However, if this project takes off, I’d be happy to join in and participate sporadically.
Although, and I say this as a joke, it almost makes me nervous that you’ll come up with a bunch of cool ideas and effects that I’ll regret not being included in my own edits which I refuse to return to. 😉
