Well, for Phantom Menace, I suggested (Actually I was making it, but couldn’t finish it as I lost most of my data when my secondary HDD crashed the first time. It recently crashed a second time, I should probably replace the damn thing.) minimizing the appearance of both Jar Jar Binks and Anakin without butchering the movie. (and in a way that makes sense.) Removing Jar Jar Binks from the Tattoine sequence (lets say he was told to stay on the ship, because he has no reason to be there other than pissing the viewer off.) and removing Anakin altogether after the he reaches the Jedi temple (lets say they told Anakin to stay in the temple and wait for them to return. Because WHY THE HELL would they take a child to a warzone? He really has no place in the second half of the movie. They should meet him in Tattoine, take him to the Jedi temple and leave him there.) And both of them should be dubbed by better voice actors for all three movies. Other than that, this movie should have shown us what the republic was like before it was defeated by the empire, it should have shown us the strength of the republic instead of a little kid accidentally saving the galaxy. Like in episode IV, empire was the most powerful without a doubt, it had a vicious presence, but in the prequels, while the republic should be at their prime, an incredible force to be reckoned with, they just seem weak and incredibly helpless. It should be more like the original trilogy without giving away the mysteries that made the originals great and without trying to poorly imitate it. Little Anakin accidentally" pilots a fighter and destroys a spaceship? Really? Why did they even tried to imitate Luke? That should have been reserved for Luke. (and he didn’t do it by accident mind you) Anakin should be his own person rather than trying to create “like father like son” in reverse. In the first movie Anakin should be a talented little kid, but only that, just a little kid. No more being born without a father like Jesus or him doing things even a master Jedi couldn’t do as a kid. I can’t believe how stupid the whole thing is. You could remove Jar Jar and Anakin from the 90% of the movie and guess what, that would make a better movie.
