That is not even remotely close to what RedLetterMedia did... RLM made a critique and review -- distinctly mentioned in fair use laws -- using star wars clips.

RLM made a critique and review -- distinctly mentioned in fair use laws -- using star wars clips. Absolutely legal, 100%, explicitly protected. Movie reviews get to show bits of movies, book reviews get to mention characters, etc etc within strict guidelines (hence the re-release of the review).
What the lawyers are talking about in this case is showing almost all of Star Wars with some interviews in front of it, calling it a "documentary", and then having full usage to complete songs. Very different. They are talking about other publishers sneakily re-releasing Star Wars for profit, not reviews.
