There are some that I'm a little worried about, as I don't know what kind of qualifications or experience you have,
Qualifications? None! Experience? Not much of that either, just dabbling. I did actually create my own edit from the SE LDs a couple of years ago, but shortly after I finished it they announced the DVDs. I did a lot more work on the DVD version, because most of my time on the LD version was spent painting out glitches and dirt - I estimate I edited at least 10% of the frames.
I'd personally like a couple screenshots of some of the paint-outs and the added X-Wing at the end.
Can you pick a paint-out? Here's the X-Wing:

A later shot of Alderaan. I had to scale it up a little and add black out the nightside to match the original shading. If it hadn't done that, it would have been extremely difficult to mask around the officer as he stepped in front of the planet.
What about the creature that walks in front of the frame while Ben and Luke drive up to the troopers. Did you put the robot back?
No. Part of my philosophy was only to use data from the DVD, or in some cases brand new CGI (by which I'm referring to the Death Star schematic and the clock - nothing more complex than that). Unfortunately I'll have to go back on that philosophy when I redo ROTJ and reinsert Sebastian Shaw.
"17. In the same scene, a ship in the background flys in front of two poles, which makes it appear to be tiny. I've moved it behind the poles."LOL...which frame is this?
Here's a closeup. It's as the speeder passes behind the Ronto and pulls up by the Canteen. A goof here is that shadows of speeder and Ronto intersect which is impossible - and also nearly impossible to fix, so I didn't try.
"20. The single frame of Greedo before he fries is no longer a poor dummy."What did you replace it with?
Just an earlier frame of Greedo. I may have shifted it over slightly to match the dummy's position.
I'm sure I'll have more questions later. I'm just spot-checking your list for now.
