There's a thread called the "Starkiller Ranch Edit" about doing the whole saga, starting with Episode 1. The main thrust of that edit was to eliminate the character of Sidious from Episode 1, a strategy that dramatically improves the story. Sidious plays much better in that story as the literal "Phantom Menace" who is alluded to, but never seen. That makes the Nemoidians into more worthy villains.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how that edit happens to be doing-- I think it's hibernating for a while. The second edit in that version of the saga has it's own thread and is more lively -- "Shroud of the Darkside" will play the Sidious scene as the first time he's appeared in the Saga.
