The final shot of Palpatine is removed as well. Less obvious that he is sidious.

Great, you can replace that with an earlier shot of Qui-gon in the pyre. I don't get why no other edit has done it so far, it's a simple but significant edit, essential to those hoping to keep Sidiouse's indenitity a secret.

My suggestion would to remove Sidious completely, dubbing over the Feds so they are more proactive. Instead of Sidious ordering them to destroy the Jedi, it could go like this:

"The ambassadors are Jedi knights, I believe"

"I knew it, they're here to force a settlement!"

"Destroy them immediatly!"

"Are you braindead? The Senate will not tolerate it!"

"The Senate doesn't need to know".

With careful editing and comp you can have them contacting Darth Maul instead of Sidious, asking him to take over when their plan begins to fail.
