For a super canon-friendly, maximalist edit of TPM, here’s a new change list. Not a replacement for COD, but a new edit. Here’s what do undo.
Use Sir Ridley’s crawl but stick with original TPM title.
Put back the battle droid dialogue to one other, starting when they talk before going into where the Jedi are. (Can still remove “destroy what’s left of them”, but keep “roger roger”)
Put back viceroy line about needing approval from the Senate, but leave out Amidala mentioning a trade boycott
Have them go underwater to Otah Gunga, but trim it up however you can. Only use the first part of the submarine trip.
Put back the scene descending the steps inside the palace discussing political exposition.
Put back jar jar in the droid bay, but ideally remove “how wude.” (If you can remove all three of its instances, great, otherwise leave 2.)
Make sure to include “sitting ducks.” But can still trim up Ric being so delighted by that little droid.
Put back line, “No more commands from her highness today.”
Could put back some of Jar Jar’s handful of, “Muy muy” lines.
Put back the midichlorian intro scene at nighttime as his blood is analyzed, but trim to remove a number and mention of Yoda. See Phantom Edit.
Put back Jar Jar’s grin after Qui-Gon tosses the chance cube.
Recreate the theatrical version of the engine startup sequence for the most part, but still remove “me no watchin’”
Put back Anakin’s “yes!” after Qui-Gon says “these are yours”
Put back “you mean I get to come with you in your starship?”
If any cuts remain to the farewell to Schmi, undo them.
Put back Anakin’s line, “Qui-Gon, sir, wait, I’m tired!”
Put back Qui-Gon’s line, “Tell them to take off!”
Put back scene on Naboo where the Viceroy sits on his walking throne, originally removed because it references the underwater trip to Otah Gungah.
Put back dialogue about Anakin being too old to be trained. (Obi-Wan and Mace each say this.)
Add back in conversation about midichlorians.
Put back scene where Obi-Wan apologizes to Qui-Gon and Jar Jar emerges from the swamp. Be sure to remove added line over shot of company approaching gungans.
Put back whole scene between the Naboo and Boss Nass, including Jar Jar’s hesitancy and cowering.
Revise Jar Jar’s antics throughout the battle. (Keep it as is, but put back “steady, steady” line, “ouch time.” Also, when retreating, imply he’s riding away on the animal and is shot off and lands onto the tank, using a boomer.)
Make it so Anakin still promises Qui-Gon he’ll hide in the cockpit. Make sure to include line referencing this. He can still look like there’s no autopilot.
Put back full death of Qui-Gon scene and follow up conversation with Yoda.
