Agreed, which is unfortunate when you consider how much can be improved through the power of editing these days.

I'd totally encourage you to edit TPM and complete your trilogy of prequel edits. From what I've read yours seem to change the most overall plot, and while I'm not yet sure if it's for better or worse, like PSYCHO_DAYV said it's always nice to see something different.

As far as specifics go, without Sidious instagating most of the plot things might be rather confusing. For instance, the actions of the Trade Federation, and purpose of Darth Maul. Of course when you look at it this way the story would seem to be from the heros point of view, as they have no clear answers to those question either.
