Hmm…that crawl on Vimeo definitely could be improved on. Come to think of it, I saw one on YouTube too, but nothing that looks authentic. They have either the wrong font, or odd formatting or something that could be done better.
If you wanted to give it a try, the text is:

STAR WAR

THE BACKSTROKE OF THE WEST

The war came!
The republic encountered
Two squares fight the vehemence
The improbity fills the world
The space general of the alliance is skillful
Kidnap the D the speaker the conduct

Yoda and Palpatine NEVER should have been given lightsabers.

Yeah, if he could shoot lightning from his fingers, I can’t see why he’d even bother with a lightsaber.

If I had to guess, I’d say the original intent was for the Emperor to be beyond the need for any such weapon, but along the way Lucas decided it would be cooler if every force user was a gymnast and had something colorful to twirl around.

Star Wars Episode I: Cloak Of Deception (Released)
Time

Just watched this today, and was rather impressed.
Jar Jar was a much better character. Your cuts turned him from a complete bumbling moron into someone who’s a little awkward, but reasonably competent.
I didn’t notice much difference in Anakin, but again the few cuts that were made helped. It was a little more believable since he’s no longer an “accidental expert star pilot.”
I really liked the added music to the pod race, especially when Anakin gets forced onto the service ramp.
The whole underwater section wasn’t missed at all. Removing it helped the flow without harming the story in any way.
I was glad to see only one instance of Boss Nass’s motorboating. I’d rather see zero, but maybe the last one was too hard to remove without a jarring cut, or left in on purpose? Either way, it wasn’t so bad since it only happens once.

The only things I didn’t like were minor frame rate nitpicks. The end credits were a little choppy, and throughout the film there was some very minor stuttering, but not enough to detract from the experience much. I watched the DVD v4; I haven’t checked out the HD version yet so I can’t say if it’s that way too.

Overall, there wasn’t a huge difference from the original, but the changes that were made helped a lot.
