Finally watched this version of TPM and gotta say that I just LOVED what you did here.

1 - the most perfect fanedit of the pod race I’ve ever seen
2 - keeping the underwater city, just removing some gungan over the top silliness
3 - removing 3pO entirely
4 - removing the dumb blood test
5 - having the deleted scenes, specially Ani beating up Greedo, but without being Greedo (so simple but I dont think it’s been done before)
6 - removing the stupid jedi etch-a-sketch test
7 - rearranging the final battle so blowing up the droid ship is actually relevant

as of now this is my absolutely to-go version of TPM!

Some suggestions for a v2:

Custom crawl to properly set up the mood for adventure? Original is not only a nonsensical bore, but with a glaring error (“…sent two jedi KNIGHTS” when obi-wan is still a padawan and only made a jedi knight by the very end of the movie)
18:17 remove that weird homer simpson “d’oh” from the droids?
28:54 - cut was weird/abrupt here, only time it felt “fanedited” in the entire view. Maybe cutting straight from qui-gon leaving the backyard to 28:58 with qui-gon passing in front of the screen could work better?
40:45-41:28 - honestly could completely cut all jar jar stuff from here and nothing would be missed
58:38-58-42 - possible to remove that thing/ship/balloon/whatever from the blue sky? that unfinished low-res becomes very distracting
1:04:59 cut straight to 1:05:02? Just to not show qui-gon falling on his ass like a pathetic out of breath old potato sack after exchanging like 8 blows with darth maul?
1:20:25 - a weird hiss in the middle of the “there is little more…” sentence?
1:22:15 - cut that unnecesary jar jar scream?
1:37:47 - how about changing Ani’s line to just “r2, get us off this autopilot”. More badass and determined?
Not sure about this one but, maybe cutting (or at least trimming/rearranging) the yoda/obi-wan scene at the end? Always felt horrible to me that obi-wan just went to train anakin just because he promised qui-gon, not because he truly wanted and believed in him; also, the funeral scene next already tell us everything we need to know (“the council gave me permission to train you”)
And the one big change I would suggest, as others said, is removing Jabba from the pod racing. Him beeing there never made much sense to me, because:
1 - he’s supposed to be this big underground gangster boss with enemies at every corner, why would he just be laying lown on public amidst thousands of people like that?
2 - this CG jabba has nothing to do with practical jabba we have and love from ep VI
3 - he’s supossed to be scary and intimidating just by sheer name, by here? nah, he looks like an overgrown worn-out old slug that falls asleep by itself and has to be funnily poked around by his assistant. Why would anyone care in the slightest to be on his black list?
