I say just keep the reveal of Anakin turnning into Vader in ROTS. Its the whole point of the movie and removing it would destory the emotional impact of ROTS.

I think Anakin should still turn...but leave out the name "Vader"...possibly.

Sorry but that seems pointless to me, either Episodes I to III are prequels (where we know he's Vader and we are finding out how and why) or they are the first three parts of a six part saga (in which case we shouldn't know Anakin is Vader until ESB).

Knowing he has fallen and burned up but not calling him Vader seems to be the worst of both worlds.

For future generations I think it makes sense to edit the so called prequels so they live up to the Episode bit in the title and keep the surprises until later (not that brighter viewers wouldn't be able to work it out for themselves).

Anakin still falls and becomes Vader in the suit (so his tragedy remains) but we don't know it for sure until Yoda tells Luke and us in the final part.

As for Padme dying and the Death Star being built, I suggested elsewhere that we see a timelapse style building of the Death Star and changing of Clone troopers to Stormtroopers, Republic Destroyers to Imperial Stardestroyers, and Padme's funeral could be worked into that and we could see Leia as a little girl on Alderaan rather than a baby covering the ROTJ memory angle in one swoop too.

Well, it sounds like we are thinking the same as far as the overall saga is concerned...

MY take on Vader is that it should appear that he dies. That IS tragic. He's a good person in TPM, a hero in AOTC (take out some of his anger, wimpyness and selfishness) and in ROTS he starts the turn to the darkside. I think of it like Luke in ROTJ. If Luke had turned to the darkside it would have been tragic. Why? Because we never would've thought Luke would make that choice. I feel it should be the same for Anakin. As it stands now, we don't care if Anakin turns to the darkside because he's a butthead-...well...we want him to turn simply because we know how cool Vader is. IMHO ;)
