I do think it’d be weird to make a prequel trilogy without Obi-Wan finding Anakin and bringing him in to become a Jedi as it was explicitly mentioned in ROTJ. Having Anakin be brought into the Jedi on-screen also allows us an organic introduction to them and the Republic (since we’d be from the perspective of someone from the Outer Rim) through our protagonist.
Yeah, I get that sentiment and what you say makes sense from a story telling perspective in many ways. I just thought there was too much going on in the story and anakins character ended up being disjointed through 3 movies.
