EyeShotFirst, I'm wondering if your brother-in-law noticed anything weird about Qui-Gon's lack of last words, as well as whether he noticed anything about the podrace music (especially tracked music from ANH) that prompted him to ask if these things were changed.
He isn't really familiar with Star Wars. Episode 1 was the only film he'd seen, but it was back in 99, so he most likely forgot most of everything.
He, like me, remembered Darth Maul being a badass, and Jar Jar being annoying, but he didn't notice anything different.
I pointed things out, like toning down the politics, Jar Jar not being as annoying. I also pointed out Anakin being a heroic pilot, instead of a dumb kid getting himself into a battle.
