Tremendous improvement! I'd watch it all day. Nice humanization of the characters, particularly the relationship between Obi-Wan and Padme. Seeing Obi-Wan as a younger and less confident man would have made a great parallel to Luke.

I would never write the prequels like this myself because I think it's still too close to the Lucas PT, but I'd enjoy watching them anyway.

Some elegant solutions to a muddled narrative. I could see many of these choices as improving the finished film had they been implemented.
