I also had this same idea a while back...if I were to do my own edit I might even leave out the Anakin killing sandpeople scene ENTIRELY! Crazy huh? :D
Well, I did exactly that with my Twilight of the Republic and I thought it definitely made the Anakin character into a much stronger and better person than he was ever presented in the original version - now he's actually is that "Good man" that he was described as by Obi-Wan in the OT before he fell to the Dark Side.
(of course, a lot of additional cuts and edits didn't hurt, either :D )
Ah yes! I haven't seen it yet...but I did read about that.
Now, you also cut Anakin finding his mother with the sandpeople, right? Because I'm not sure I would've cut it out. We, as the audience, would definantly be invested in finding his mother just as much as he. But, again, I haven't seen your edit yet...it might work wonderfully! :D
I want to find a way to explain why NO ONE has gone to get Anakin's mother in the past 10 years!
My thought was if Anakin was to be redubbed (*Trooperman's edit*) you could accomplish this in the scene when Obi asks Anakin about his dreams:
Obi: Because of your mother?
- Anakin nods
Anankin: I don't know why I keep dreaming about her...
Obi: Dreams pass in time.
- Cut to a shot of the droid
Anakin: I understand that the Jedi council won't let me see her until I finish the trials...but it's such a long wait!
...or somthing like that! :D
