I like Hal9000's versions the best. They're not perfect, but they're the closest to what I'd want to see out of a really good prequel edit.
I've been playing around with editing AOTC a little bit, and the one thing every edit I've seen so far has missed out on is cutting out the few throwaway lines throughout the movie that make Anakin particularly whiny or lovesick. Don't have Obi-Wan reprimand Anakin quite so obviously in Padme's apartment, have the scene when Padme's packing end with her telling Anakin he's grown up, etc. With those types of cuts, I feel like we'd still get the general idea that Obi-Wan and Anakin aren't exactly on the same page, but Anakin feels far less petulant.
