It’s on Reddit/r/fanedits and I can’t link to it directly because it contains a download link. Here’s his changelist:

***Rewritten opening crawl to give more political context:
A galaxy in chaos! Both the evil FIRST ORDER and the brave RESISTANCE have been catastrophically decimated, each desperate to snuff out the other and fill the power vacuum left by the extinction of the Republic.

Leader of the Resistance, General Leia Organa, lives in hope that her brother, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker can return to restore peace and order to the galaxy.

As the First Order speeds toward the Rebel base, the fate of the galaxy rests on their escape….

Removed the flute run at the beginning that’s the same as ANH. Replaced with the start of the First Order theme cut from TFA.
Removed Kylo Ren’s theme when the First Order arrives at D’Qar because Kylo Ren is not present. Replaced with First Order leitmotif from the end of “Main Title and Attack on the Jakku Village” from TFA.
Tone down the humor in spots where it doesn’t fit tonally, e.g. Poe and Hux prank call and the Ach-To nun getting hit with the rock are both gone.
Cut Leia slapping Poe.
Cut the green milk scene from Rey following Luke montage.
Trimmed Canto Bight and cut Fathier chase. Finn and Rose join DJ after he propositions them in the cell.
Cut Leia floating way above the force-field of the ship to make her flying more believable. (I tried to cut it, but it really is needed for the film to make sense. Sorry.)
Cut Holdo and Leia scene.
Trim Finn’s fake-out sacrifice so that it doesn’t give you a chance to root for him to go for it.
Moved Canto Bight kids telling the legend of Luke Skywalker to overlay Luke’s death. It’s really beautiful and poignant, trust me. This also allows the film to end with the last of the Resistance on the Falcon.***
