Any advice to help make the final product all blend seamlessly…It’s hard to blend because the cinematography is different, specially CGI.
My best advice is to work with the deleted scenes from Jedi and perhaps a few takes from the Ewoks movies.It’s possible to restore the original space battle sequence, and that changes the pacing a bit - see the link to my thread below. You can also throw in General Madine and add the Jerjerrod subplot to add more scale to the movie.
Please take a look at some of my ROTJ experiments, might be helpful:

Thanks for the ideas and resources! In terms of getting the footage to match, because it’s quite different, it can be very hard. Even if I can’t get it perfect, I’d like to know what I can do to at least make it blend more, and see how that works. I’m willing to overlook a few deviations from the original style if I have good fanfilm footage that I want to put it, but I’d just like anything to get it closer to the actual footage aesthetically, whatever would improve the fanfilm footage to make it look like the movie.
Essentially, even if it won’t look perfectly like the actual ROTJ footage, I’d at least like the clips of fanfilm footage to look like a better match (I know color correction is one way to do this). Also other things like changing contrast and lighting. Even if the cinematography differs, I’d like to achieve the basic look.
