If he ever was to go down that route (I know he won't, but hey)  then there's only a couple of things I'd change. I know you've probably heard this all before, Ady, but please don't take offense at my constructive criticism.

I like the new order of the scene in Ben's hut (and anyone who doesn't has the purist edition right?) but luke's reply of "no my father didn't fight in the wars" comes a little quick in my opinion but this is the most minor gripe I have, and delving deeper, his quick response could even hint that luke knew what Ben was going to say before he finished saying it - Jedi Precognition :P

The Snivvian in the cantina (in the scene where the troopers walk past Han and Chewie) has had his face animated, but it doesn't look right (in contrast with all the other cantina aliens, which look absolutely excellent) maybe he should have been left unanimated. He has what I can only describe as 'melty face syndrome'.

The scene where it cuts from that alien radioing the troopers, to luke and ben approaching the falcon used a fade instead of a straight cut. I felt that a straight cut worked better.

When Ben gets struck down, the plinky noise in the music as a result of the transition being sped up is a bit jarring and could perhaps use some softening up.

THAT'S IT. Those are the only problems I had with this edit, and this is coming from both a supreme star wars geek, and a perfectionist. I'm sorry if I've offended in any way by posting my observations, especially at this late stage.

 

EDIT: All these things bother me less and less every time I watch it (watched it again last night) so it's probably more to do with unfamiliarity than any actual problems.
