Yeah, both George and Rick got a kick out of it.
Remember, a good chunk of the original Star Wars was born through George's re-editing of old war films to use as an animatic. He was doing re-edits before it was trendy.
As far as I know, they've seen "Balance of the Force" and "The Phantom Edit".
It's been mentioned in an interview or two with Rick and once in a statement by a LFL rep.
I think they liked it because it made such a drastically different film out of the same source material, coming off much less like an edit than a totally different film.
Also it introduces a lot of subplots and story elements that George dropped in early script stages, which kind of gives an interesting window into what could have been.
