Finished the edit and thought it was pretty well done. Pros and cons below

Pros:
-love that Dagobah scene is shifted to being the second scene.
-Trimmed up Jabba palace scenes were nice
-enjoyed the shuttle scene trimmed up to mirror ESB more
-cut out cutesy Ewoks stuff overall which is greatly appreciated
-Darth Vaders head disappears
-Ending with Luke and leia theme is very nice indeed

Cons
-audio for Yodas extra line and Hans “son of a bitch” line stick out badly. Luke’s line in his x wing on the way out of Dagobah is not synced right.
-took out rancor sequence which is plain iconic and with SE updated effects it holds up just enough

  • deleted scenes quality is just too bad if quality for me to accept in my definitive edit
    -kept in Vaders noooo

^ Pretty much this. But to add to it.

Pros:

  • Luke not instantly finding out Leia is his sister
  • Cut out Han’s little temper tantrum after the scene when Luke tells Leia that they’re siblings
  • Ewoks being more of a distraction in the battle than anything that adversely effects it
  • Droid torture scene is more tolerable

Cons:

  • Use of slow motion was obvious and kind of distracting
  • Inclusion of C3P0’s story telling to the Ewoks
  • Removal of some Han lines (“Hey, it’s me” being the line I missed the most)
  • Inclusion of the shitty GCI scenes of different planets celebrating the “Fall” of The Empire
  • Some visual and audio cuts are very noticeable

If I think of any more I’ll edit my post with new pros and cons.
