Not really. Leitmotif would suggest that it be an arrangement of Anakin's theme or the Force theme, since both Anakin and the Jedi Knights were the stars of the PT. Of the two, I favor the Force theme: Its use in the OT is almost always retrospective or sad, recalling the doomed heroism of the Jedi. An upbeat, brassy version of it in the PT would be set up a nice emotional counterpoint with the more restrained version we hear in, e.g., "Tales of a Jedi Knight." If you want some completely different ideas, I can check out my humble film score collection for a temp track -- but it's really hard to second-guess John Williams.
