The Gungans should have their own language. This would be a great way of throwing in new dialogue and somewhat alter their personality. Jar Jar, crazy as it sounds should be played by a woman (albeit in a deepened voice).
Something else we need is people calling Obi-Wan "Ben". Most likely General Grievous and many of the non-Jedi characters.
Likewise the multiple battles in The Phantom Menace ought to be reduced by:
- Removing everything in the Gungan battle after the droids enter the shield. We would only know their fate in the ending.
- Anakin not going into space and blowing the Federation ship. I feel this achievement was given way too much importance whereas the real focus should be the Duel.
- Having the Queen and her troupes sneaking into the palace rather than blowing and things and making enough noise for the Viceroy to notice.
