Honestly, I would love to get my hands on that cut.  I'm among a minority, but I think TPM has a lot going for it, ruined mostly by Jar Jar and the bizarre pacing.  The movie moves from scene to scene far too quickly, and yet it ultimately feels boring.  I think a fan edit could cut out a lot of crap, yet extend the scenes so the pacing is improved.  Good cutting could still improve the tension, and ultimately it could be a far better movie.  Again, I think a different cut could drastically improve the film, and a six hour cut could be a good starting point.
