I can forsee a way that it could have made his turn a bit more convincing, having him already confused enough to stay with Palpatine rather than run off. But that, too, would depend on other scenes in the movie that would set up the reason why he stayed behind.

Would it have worked better, who knows, but my whole point is this whole scene should have been concrete from the start, or atleast pretty much set in stone on what happens. It is the reason for the whole PT, and Lucas is still wishy washy on how it occurs? It really makes you wonder if he really was making this stuff as he goes.
