I vividly recall my first viewing of ROTS and being on board with Palpatine whispering in Anakin’s ear about how the Jedi are flawed and the Dark Side could grant good effects if only the Jedi would allow them. I thought it was a really smart way to go about Anakin’s turn.

But then we get to Mace’s death scene and all of that goes out the window as Anakin cartoonishly pledges himself to Monster Mash and vows to murder all the children. It’s just so out of left field that I mentally checked out and threw the prequels in the garbage because of that scene.

So if this change were to be achieved, it’s not hyperbole to say that for me it would almost single-handedly save the prequels.
