Can you imagine the tension if the car chase was flipped? So they were rushing to save padme?
Saw that idea and just ran with it, you might just have influenced my edit of Episode II...
Anyhow, in regards to Episode II, I still purpose my method of a completely new rearragned plot. I have the Geonosis arena in the beginning to accomplish multiple things. For one, all the OT films start in the midst of action. The crawls allow them to skip boring exposition. Episode I and II feel to much like the beginning of films, unlike Episodes III-VI. We need to get right in there with the characters. Second, it allows more theoretical screentime for Dooku, as we'll see him early on along with other scenes placed throughout the film. Third, it allows action to be more often in the film, since we don't just pile all the good stuff at the end; it needs to be entertaining throughout. To me, it's one of the worst issues with Episodes I and II.
Episode III does start out better, but I feel that there still needs to be more action. This film feels the least Star-Warsish, and more like some stupid Soap Opera. Again, rearranging to give a more consitent amount of action will certainly help.
One thing I really want to see in PT:R is almost every FX shot completely replaced/recomposited, along with enhancements to any shots that look good enough (there are some good ones in Episode I with the minatures, but it stops there.) I really just want way, way less CGI than what currently exists in the PT.
