I've decided "Thank the maker" reel begins at GOUT offset 27,820
27,822

I've done more in-depth analysis of the cue dots in Moth3r's widescreen bootleg

wikipedia.org said:

According to SMPTE-55 (SMPTE Universal leader), there shall be 4 frames of motor cue, followed by 168 frames of picture, followed by 4 frames of changeover cue, followed by 24 frames of picture.
There exist other standards (SMPTE-301, maybe some EBU ones too,) but
the print used for Moth3r's bootleg conforms to SMPTE-55 (4 + 168 + 4 + 24)

GOUT doesn't have any cue dots.
If it had, here's where they'd be:

27,622-625 | motor cue
27,794-796 | changeover cue dots on Moth3r's bootleg (4+168+3+0)
(27,794-797)| changeover cue (SMPTE-55)
(27,821/822)| reel change (SMPTE-55)

55,549-552 | motor cue
55,721-724 | changeover cue
55,748/749 | reel change

86,477-480 | motor cue
(86,649-652)| changeover cue should have been here (SMPTE-55)
86,650-653 | actual cue dots on Moth3r's bootleg (4+169+4+23) Fuckwit!
86,676/677 | reel change

113,452-455 | motor cue
113,624-627 | changeover cue
113,651/652 | reel change

143,854-857 | motor cue
(144,026-29)|(SMPTE-55) Moth3r's projectionist jumped the gun; cannot confirm
144,052/053 | reel change (4+168+4+23) because GOUT is missing a frame


Numbers in parentheses are calculated/interpolated/extrapolated.
The rest are based on observations of filmed events. For example,
at 86,477 Chewie steps in front one of the green lights in the Falcon's corridor, blocking the camera's view of it.
