I spend the last week finishing my attempt at an fast paced Opening for TPM.
Key plot points are:

-new status quo at the beginning of the movie: The Trade Federation isn’t even in the picture yet, the main conflict is the tension between the Gungan (Warriors) and the Naboo (Pacifist)*

-the Jedi are send to diffuse the situation

-The Trade Federation exploit the instability and invades the planet

-The Jedi save the queen and speed away

But see for yourself:

I really like this EXCEPT I would move the Palpatine/Trade Federation scene to before the invasion starts so that we go from them saying the invasion is on track to the invasion and then from that to QGJ and OWK coming from the Gungan place. That would flow better.
