On my own edit of Ep.1 I found cutting out all the Nemoidian scenes from the beginning sequence makes the whole thing more exciting and does away with a lot of bad Nemoidian dialogue. Of course if they are going to be subtitled I suppose it doesn't matter. But I really like the way the whole thing plays out when all we see is the two jedi landing, then being told by the droid to wait, then the droid returing to serve them tea (or whatever) then the ship blowing up, cut to the droids outside the room as the door opens, two sabers turn on, the two jedi cutting down droids, Qui-Gon cutting the door, the destroyer droids coming, jedi run, the door explodes from the impact of the droids blast, then cut to the back view of the two Nemoidians watching the jedi run from the destroyers. I think it adds a bit more mystery to them having the first time we see them being a brief over the shoulder glance shot. I thought it worked beautifully, just need to repair the music a little from the cutting and its great. Of course, the next scene we see they open their mouths and ruin it, but with redubbing it could add a lot to the start of the film.
