I doubt if much can be done about that without re-foley work on the whole edit.

It is an amazing piece of work. Lots of really creative decisions that I've never seen used before and I've seen my share of PT edits.

I love the very subtle way it lets us know Anakin's full parental background without having to do too much work.

I've never liked the Clone mystery story and it still doesn't work here.

I would have dropped it and the senate pass emergency powers to Palpatine in his first scene and have the dart lead to the Dooku instead of the Clones.

Anakin in this edit almost works despite of Hayden.

You get the feeling of a man beaten down by repeatedly losing and desiring control over his fate. For the first time he is the centre of these films instead of a support character to Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon.

Great stuff and such an unexpected surprise.

If I were to suggest one more change I'd pinch an idea from the edit mentioned here.  That chap cut out the energy doors dividing Gui-Gon and Obi-Wan and made that sequence flow even more logically. It would add to this edit as would putting back more sound effects and dialogue to the sequences with long passages of music. It's almost a perfect edition of these films which is an achievement. It's certainly worth watching before any other versions of these films are attempted.
