Or if that’s too complex, then just reorder the Jedi purge to be happening DURING the Obi-Wan/Anakin battle to make it extra tragic that it all collapses at once.
That’s a pretty good idea!
Yes or have palpatine giving his final speech to the senate, the grandiose music fits well, you just have to edit padmé out of the scene but that wouldn’t be too hard. Although continuity could be solved with some of the longer shots having custom mattes and you can still have the close ups and quick cuts be the same because the background isn’t noticeably different.
