I'm a bit late to the game here, but just had a chance to watch your Episode I edit - very nice! I like the way your cuts streamline the story and remove all the kiddie-friendly garbage (Jar-Jar's antics, Anakin's spaceflight, English-speaking podrace announcer, etc.).
An editor has many choices on how they slice-and-dice the story, and I think your decisions were well done. I'm looking forward to watching Ep's II and III.
