For a thousand generations, the
Galactic Republic has thrived under
the guidance of the Jedi Knights.
But now, even under the semblance
of peace, a crisis stirs.
The Nemoidian Trade Federation,
outraged by the prohibition of slave
labor in core systems, has seized
the peaceful planet of Naboo with a
blockade of deadly warships.
While the Senate's endless rhetoric
drowns Naboo's cries for justice,
Chancellor Valorum has secretly
dispatched two Jedi Knights to
resolve the conflict...

* = Chapter Stop Titles taken from Hal9000's excellent DVD Inserts
IMHO they have both been edited and put together extremely well - there are no jarring edited scenes which stick out. The picture and sound quality are that of DVD standard (which is what both MF Edits were sourced from).
Lines of dialogue changes, alien's voice dubbing, subtitle changes - which alter the story somewhat, length of scenes, musical score changes, sound effects changes, the re-arranging of certain scenes, scene omissions and insertion of deleted scenes all feature in both films.
These MagnoliaFan Edits keep the Prequel Trilogy (so far) more in-keeping with the Original Trilogy in terms of the feel and pace of the films.
There are various fan/home-made DVD covers to go with the MFE releases.
MagnoliaFan is planning an MF Edit of Star Wars: Episode III – ‘Revenge Of The Sith’, though obviously this will not happen for some time...
More details of the changes made in both Edits can be found in the very 1st post - in here:-
