Out of curiosity, what are those two things?

For the sake of discussion, the only two things I'd change are:

1) Use a single wipe to Luke at the end of the "Jabba catches Leia" scene. When I saw this the first time, the first wipe-to-Luke was totally clear and the second one confused me-- it wasn't until the third one that I realized you were emulating ESB. That made me want just one wipe at the right place.

2) Move the Wicket finds Leia shot slightly. Currently it comes after the heroes basically say, "I hope Leia's safe"... cut to Leia suddenly being threatened.  That cut feels externally motivated. I'd move it to right after Luke dispatches the last speeder bike to make it feed the following discussion with suspense.

But that's two tiny changes that become less to me every time I rewatch your edit.
