Here’s a few ideas I’ve had for Phantom Menace:

Changes:

Complete rescore/color correction+grain
Simplified bet with Watto
Implied Qui-Gon is Anakin’s father.
Added a little bit of personality to Maul’s entrance.

Having Qui-Gon be Anakin’s father really adds so much depth and subtext to this dumb, boring movie. It almost seems like it was intended at some point, with how much Shmi and Qui-Gon look at each other. In this cut, Qui-Gon’s first bet with Watto is clearly motivated by nothing but leaving the planet, but the second time he pleas for his son to be freed. In the original cut, why are these two scenes separated? Why does Anakin need to be in the dark about the race potentially leading to his freedom? In my cut, it makes sense because Qui-Gon realizes that this is actually his son AFTER betting the first time.
