This sounds good! I had a “7 in 1” edit a while back called “Vader”, using parts of R1 to the other six to tell a stout about Vader’s rise and fall.

What I did was intercut from PT to OT every 10 minutes or so, inspired by Lost. Tbh I’m not sure this was the best strategy because it created two constant plot lines to invest in… by I could easily jump from say, 4 to 5 with no worries.

Most of my edit was around Vader - Luke’s first appearance is when he watches Ben did, the first time Vader sees him. Most of the movie was the PT, with splices of the OT. Yours seems to be the inverse!

I handled Han with death. Reason being I replaced the Battle of Endor with the Battle of Yavin (there’s only one DS) and let Red Leader destroy the station while Luke was inside redeeming Vader. Final scene was his funeral, not the celebration.

Your edit might also benefit from this. Remove Endor and Han isn’t needed, which is really sad but would give the war some casualties. Then have the end at Yavin.
