If I distribute copies of this edit through Blu-ray/DVD discs in cases, could I sell them for the cost of the disc(s), Blu-ray case, and cost of shipping? Would it also be Ok for me to throw in a few additional bucks for the cost of labor?
No, and hell no.

Read it all.
Why should I be punished financially for distributing something that Lucasfilm should have done a long time ago for the cost of the DVDs and Blu-rays? We paid full price for half-ass releases of the movies.
I may just have to go against your word on distribution of these. There are many people who I know that would like this edit, but do not have Blu-ray burners, blank Blu-ray cases & discs, and do not know/are not interested in purchasing them and downloading and burning these edits themselves.
What are the penalties if caught distributing these for the cost of producing them on physical media, shipping, plus a few additional dollars for labor? I see people selling fan edits on amazon and ebay all the time. I have emailed some of them and some responded claiming it is legitimate if you just sell them for the cost of the physical media, shipping, and a few additional dollars for labor of making them. I found out that it may still be illegal and I emailed them back telling them that, and only one responded saying "they will take it under advisement."
One of them didn't outright say this, but gave me the impression that now that Star Wars is under ownership of Disney, it is legal to do so now. That is bullshit, correct?
You want to make a few additional dollars for the labour of making them. Go fuck yourself asshole. I do this for fucking free, not to have some fucking wanker like yourself making a profit out of all the work i, and others, have put into all of this. You want to share it, fine. But don't have the fucking nerve to try and make any money from them. Those scum bags selling other peoples fan edits/ preservations on ebay etc need shooting. They are dicks of the highest order. Crap like that jeopardizes everything we do. Studios start to see more and more people making money of stuff like this and they'll just come after the people that are making the fan edits. So fucking think before you want to make some money, when we are doing it all for free.
I know my words and language are harsh, and i apologise to everyone else. But people like this make me sick. It goes against everything i do these edits for. But when i see people wanting to make profit of work people are doing for free, then it gets my blood boiling. People like this and that fucking wanker OCPmovie, or to give him his proper name, garrett gilchrist, think it is acceptable to sell other peoples edits, then they can go fuck themselves. I don't want to do all of this work and then have the studios come after me and shut me down, wasting years of my life working on this edit, because of some dick that decides its ok to make money off it.
