Hell yes. Much better storyline. it shows how a good person can turn evil and how power corrupts and not that he was built to be evil from conception. That whole thing changes much of what was said about Anakin in the OT. If he was created by the sith he would have had evil in him all the time and would not have been a good man and turns Vader into a puppet. If he was destined to become evil then he would never have turned back to the good side in ROTJ. The fact that he was only manipulated and not created to be a Sith displays why Luke can sense that there was still good in him and that because it was only manipulation that turned him he was able to save his son.. Changing the PT to fit with the OT is the way to go and never the other way around.

I actually like the idea that the Jedi have this 'Chosen One' prophesy and a Sith Lord exploits it by putting a wolf into the fold, only for him to actually be the 'Chosen One' and bite back. It's almost as if Darth Plagueis had the last laugh, he knew that Sidious would kill him and created a means of getting Revenge on the Jedi and his apprentice from beyond the grave. It also shows that people who are set up as messiah type figures are just as capable of turning bad or good at anytime (something pinched from the Dune books like so much in Star Wars) and it also has that Greek theatre feel of the Gods (or the Force) being so poweful and unpredictable that thinking you are in control of such power is the biggest mistake you could make.
