I just got done watching the Rebellion portion of this project...a big thanks to @"subjectzero" for letting me preview it.
There are a lot of surprises in this film, some ideas I've seen in prior edits, and some that are unique specifically to this edit, and they really serve a function...this being a 3-in-1 of the original trilogy, the goal is to keep the focus tight on the original characters that we've come to know and grow up with, without any unwanted distractions and side-ways plots that would be impossible to fit even into a three hour cut.
Subject succeeds at this, and he also demonstrates a refreshing knack for scene rearrangement that serves the structure of his edit, he hits all the essential beats of the trilogy, particularly as we near the final fourty or so minutes, and there's great banter and fun had along the way thanks in part to the rearranged sequences. There's one scene with Han, Luke, Leia and the rest at this point that works so well within the context of where it's placed now, if Empire Strikes Back had ended the way Subject has arranged it here, you really would not be able to tell the scene comes from much, much earlier in the movie.
There are still a few hurdles, particularly with the music cues, sometimes they bleed over one another to help ease us into a transition or readies us for a cross fade effect, or they come crashing in when we have a swipe.
The ending I also feel is incredibly rushed, on one hand we know the trilogy isn't over so it should not feel too 'complete' but at the same time, it's a major victory for the good guys but there is no room for proper celebration due to certain elements that was cut, all we get really is sombre reflection...and then it's straight to buisness. Yoda's voice over also is slightly lower-pitched at the end and I can't make out what he's saying. I do like the new ending scene though
And, lastly, at 02:52:58, I caught a frame or two in between of cut scenes that flashes on the screen for a bit. Definitely sort it out.
