hm, the only problem I got with "senator Binks" from the start is, that I couldn't see any possible (good!) reason why he is coming along all the time, shouldn't he stay on Coruscant?
maybe as an servant or personal aide, ala C3PO, it would make more sense ...

if so, cudos to the editor, he did with small afford what Lucas couldn't: make the Nemodians really threatening - and Sidious more cunning in his longtime planning of things - not bumbling from situation to the next
so with good dialog and some cuts, there is hope for the prequels, though it isn't easy - not if one struggles alone, but with combined ideas, we could get this baby offground ;-)
