in AOTC, when anakin returns to tatooine to the homestead, perhaps things could be reorganised slightly?

 

anakin shows up at the homestead, to find his mother dead and buried. He kneels at the grave, and like one of the edits, the line 'i miss you so much' is shortened to 'i miss you'.

 

then we cut to them sitting at the homestead, and lars explains how she was taken by the tusken, dialogue is cut so we know she is dead. anakin gets up and he says 'your mother is dead son' (paraphrased) and anakin silently walks off, gets on a speeder, finds the tusken and kills them. (the hunting of the tusken would be shortened and probably just show anakin leaving on the speeder and emerging at the camp)

 

this could make his killing a bit more premeditated, though i understand if it could be a bit too heavy too soon
