If I did a cut, I would still cut down on some of the scenes-- namely, removing as much of Jar Jar's slapstick as the story allows for (no dinner table antics or icky poodoo incidents). However, Jar Jar and co. be cut down a bit less than in The Phantom Edit, because there'd only be stupid physical mannerisms to worry about instead of that on top of irritating voices.
if you ever get another chance of redubbing that first scene this is the kind of dialog i thought of on my spare time that might fix the shitty dialog (mesa) and make jar jar a lot more tolerable
jarjar: you saved my life, thank you
quigon: you almost got us killed are you brainless?
jarjar: (bragging like it's a cool thing) well i speak (or) i speak don't i?
quigon: the ability to speak does not make you intelligent now go on
jarjar: no way i'm staying, sticking with you as a humble servant is a whole lot safer.
quigon: that wont be necessary
jarjar: well my instinct tells me otherwise
(battle droid fight)
jarjar: that's twice you saved me
obiwan: whose this?
quigon: a local we have to move before more show up
jarjar: more? hey wait a minute!
that's the idea i have so far. as you can see i just changed the dialog so it isn't that far off from the original dialog and with a good voice actor with the right accent or no accent, jarjar might come out a whole lot better character than he is now.
