Has there ever been a full version of the very first cut of Star Wars? This gives you an idea what it looked like: fucking terrible.

Notice the terrible pacing and the boring deleted scenes of people standing around talking in wide shot?
Could the prequels have been saved in the editing room if Lucas has an editor who was on equal terms with him and could tell him when something wasn't working without fear of being fired?
Yep

If all the shit was edited out of episode 1... what would be left?
Don't the dozens of fan edits attest to that?

Yeah, good move desu. 4chan is full of viruses. You should head back to reddit where it's safe.

Watch secior's fan editing of episode 1. It actually makes it better than episode 6. No joke. It's a really good film. Only two cuts I thought could use smoother edits.

Explain what he did to make it better?

Removed so much of the political aspect that dragged scenes out for far too long. Cuts that keep the pace moving and incredibly engaging. The entire underwater section is removed, as is any anti-funny quip from Jar Jar. Though he is there, he is there in a very sensible manner. It's very small things that they cut out from him, and it pays off.
Actually, better yet, just read list of changes here.
