for AOTC if we thought about it. We'd have to come up with a list of all the serious plotholes, the ones that are axle-breaking, not "oh that happened offscreen" minutae. It might end up hopeless, I"m not really sure, b/c you're right, Phantom Menace is really a bunch of very thin plot threads holding set pieces together, like a Pantomime or Busby Berkley spectacle.
But I'm sure it would be possible to improve on the plot logic, and the suspense and emotional angst at the same time. (We could go back and do Jedi while we're at it, and deal with Luke dealing with the fact that he's Vader Junior instead of just fastfwding to the New Enlightened Mature Luke, too.)
I bet we could come up with a whole Phantom Edit script
