this is the best of the prequels

I believe it's the most flawed of the prequels overall but still great 'Star Wars'. A few simple but important tweaks would have significantly enhanced the movie & the entire trilogy IMO.

1. Cast Hayden Christensen from the start as a 14-16 year old Anakin. This would have been major in helping to establish the on-screen chemistry between the three leads from the beginning & better endeared him to the audience.

2. Reduce Qui Gon Jinn's role(He stays on the ship)/remove him entirely, replaced with Obi Wan as an idealistic, eager, young Jedi who discovered Anakin formed a bond with him, and felt compelled to train him as a Jedi.

3. Tone down/Tweak Jar Jar. Simply changing Jar Jar's speech to an unintelligible alien language would have gone a long way in making him more palatable to older audiences.
