The idea of redubbing the Trade Federation is great from Magnoliafan (though I don't like the garbled speach used in that edit the subtitles making them darker slave traders is genius). Keeping Jar-Jar a funny clot but actually funny (from Slumberland), Anakin is better in The Phantom Edit (here I reach the outer edge of my Phantom Menace edit knowledge). ADM made a great job of putting deleted material back in.

Giving the battledroids sinister voices is something that has yet to be pulled off convincingly in my experience (though trimming has been done well in a couple of the versions I've seen).

Hopefully when Adywan comes to do his he will borrow from the best and add his own polish as Octorox suggests.

Maybe I'll take a look into doing such a project after I finish my "Starkiller Saga" edits of Ep2 & Ep3 (though I might be dead tired of SW by that time).

As for the droids, I actually liked the idea of removing their voices like Phantom Editor did in his edits.

The battledroids don't need to speak to each other (though it would be nice to have them make some sort of coded noise like the probots) but when they speak to other creatures they should sound menacing.

I'd go for the silent angle if they looked menacing (like the Cylons in NuGalactica) but they look skeletal so it would be nice if they had hissing clicky voices (turning them into ghostly wraiths) rather than sounding like Looney Toons characters.

The Superbattledroids in AOTC and ROTS are more substantial and don't need to talk at all but I think they should make more of a stomping noise when they march.
