Thank you all.

@Executer94: I did, for a while. But I seem to have more time, and have a 2 week holiday in one week, so should be able to get back into it. :)

EDIT:
Thanks to the wisdom of DarthD.U.C.K, the strange glowing issue on the bridge is now gone!

That tend to happen. Manual clean should fix things.

Well I figured I'd post my review here so...:

First of all, it's a very nice map - the scenery is beautiful and the lighting is stunning. I loved the sky, it was very, very nice and fitted well with the lighting. The huts that you used were unique and this improved the maps look - I haven't seen many maps like it. Secondly, the layout of the map was very inventive - I loved all the little island parts and the bridges that crossed over the (very deep!) river. Of course, a map with so many trees and objects is going to have some errors - so here is what I came up with:

Really, these errors are extremely picky - the map was fantastic and I couldn't find any significant errors that stopped me playing the battle how it was intended.

Firstly - you had some object placement problems with this bridge.

And it was also not quite connected properly:

Secondly - floating trees:

This one is literally right next to the previous one:

Thirdly - I'm not sure if this was intentional but on every tall part of the foliage there was a little white part sticking out of the side. It looked a bit odd, because it doesn't really match with the scenery:

Fourthly - This was a bit unfair. Since this log rises above the ground, you can go across it one way - but not go back!
Hidden/Spoiler:

Fifthly - On the same log, I saw various troopers walk into the river, you may want to check your barriers.

Sixthly - The Yavin IV billboards that you used in the background looked a bit too bright (see first picture). They didn't really fit with the lighting you used, you might want to darken them a little.

Lastly - This is just an opinion, but I thought the sides were tag to powerful. I could only get a few kills per life because the other teams weapons were very strong. There were a few too many of the special units and I sometimes had a life without getting a single kill. Maybe increase the health of troopers and/or reduce laser damage?

Anyway, after all that - it was a really good map, the scenery was stunning and I really enjoyed it! Great work! :D

Thanks for the report, sampip! :) Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding some of these trees. Could you tell me where they are on the map? Thanks.

EDIT:
@Beta testers: I made a mistake in the campaign script at the objective where you need to kill the rebel commander. Sorry, I'll fix that up.
