So, i watched it today. Overall i grew fond of it. The technical changes are impressive.
I took some notes while watching:

  • video quality various often (in theatrical scenes ), especially on tatooine and deleted scenes pop out (maybe use topaz AI again, if you have the paid version?)

  • did you do something to the audo stream? the center channel with the dialogue is quite low-keyed. Overall the audio seamed to be quieter than usual, because i had to ramp up my volume by +16. When i switched to another movie had to turn it down again by -16.

  • the lights of naboo are neat, but as we see the ship approaching closer to the planet (second cockpit shot), they are gone.

  • the beginning with the ambassador (jedi): place ship explosion after gas entering room where jedi sit. My suggestion even though i know you had written “supposedly” the jedi didn´t notice, i found myself questioning while watching “why do the jedi sit there and we didn´t even see them flinch an eye as the ship in the hangar with its people got blown up?”

  • force jump to escape the droidika, nice idea (but contradictory to later when obi-wan is running towards maul and qui-gon, why isn´t he using it there). So maybe get rid of it?

  • 15:00 journey underwater to naboo, i think it´s not necessary. It can be cut completly

  • 29:30 why is anakin suddenly with them after qui-gon and padme left wattos place? Also during the visit subtitles for watto and anakin talking would be nice

  • 41:52 sebulba and anakin subtitles would be nice, too

  • 44:12 jar jar talks, no sound, frame that shouldn´t be there?

  • 1:18:23 gangun subtitles, would be nice also
