Just kidding
In terms of getting your edit out there for other fans - it will kinda happen itself. There are various avenues to persue such as torrents or by the pay-it-forward system that indirectly operates on various boards - send it to a few key people and the news will spread quicker than you can imagine !
Hollywood will never have an issue, imho, if the tenure of the edit is very much encouraged to be a re-envisioning of the original piece (flattering as opposed to plagiaristic). Similarly an overt message that this is intended as an experimental edit and that it should be expected that all that watch it should own the original work - whilst hardly a legal testament to the suits, will at least show goodwill on your behalf - see GreenCapt's Batman & Robin Edit, CrappyLogo's Wizard of Oz, CBB's edits and just about anything by the "big hitters" of the board: OCPMovie, ADigitalMan etc.
It should be noted that MagnoliaFan was even invited to Lucas' ranch ! So I hardly think there will be much coal-scraping if you enter into the spirit of these forums !
Good luck with the project and be sure to let us know how it's coming along

So if I upload an edit via torrent, do I just go on these boards and say "look what I did!" or is that too brazen?
