I like rearranging it so Anakin feeling slighted by the Council and being told to betray Palpatine before the dream so they have weight in his fall. Emphasizing Anakin’s authoritarian political beliefs and a genuine lust for power beyond just saving Padme is, IMO, really the only way to make Anakin’s fall somewhat work with just a fan-edit, without a full rewrite (which would be ideal, but you can’t really watch it). It makes him feel more like the same person as Darth Vader from the OT.

It would be really beneficial if you tried to make a point of Anakin being addicted to the dark side and basically subconsciously looking for an excuse to fall, kinda like Walter White. Having the dream be more of the straw that broke the camels back then the sole reason makes it slightly more believable that he would commit genocide over it.
