Anakin’s new introduction. I think seeing for the first time, behind the controls of the Pod, significantly helps justify him piloting the Naboo straighter during the final battle.

I aslo made some changes to Jar Jar’s introduction to Padme, I’m not aware of this being done before…

Cool ideas here.
Anakin’s introduction is very abrupt. I realize you’re trying to emulate the style of a Marvel movie, but the prequels are shot so passively that I don’t know how successful that can be. My suggestion: After the discussion about going to Tatooine and the Hutts (maybe ending with ‘It’s controlled by the Hutts’), cut to an establishing shot of the planet with the start of the race fanfare. Then show the wide shot of the starting line with Jabba the Hutt, so that the two ideas are linked. Then we get a quick start to the race and shots of many racers being picked off quickly by Sebulba. After he’s established a lead, then we see an unknown racer in a small pod begin to overtake him, and they are linked together. When Anakin breaks free, the announcer shouts ‘It’s Skywalker!’, and only then do we get a good look at his face.
