I've been reading this thread and I'm amazed at all the great ideas that are in it!

Anyhoo I've always wondered what Vader is thinking when the Emperor is engulfing Luke with the Force lightening, theres obviousley something going on in his mind and something that triggers his destiny to do away with Palpatine, soooo how about inserting some flashback dialogue ie

Queen Amidala: You're a slave?
Anakin: I'm a person and my name is Anakin

And at that point Vader turns on Palpatine.

Just an idea..

Hello there mouse nice to have you onboard, for various reasons many of us here are anti-flashback, flashforward but there was a line that was originally in the ROTJ duel that was removed or not recorded but may be reconstructed.

Luke at some point said, "I will not become a slave to the Dark Side".

If this could be put back in it would underline how Vader was born a slave and has remained a slave all his life without the need for a flashback.
