First off, hello and welcome. It's an interesting idea, albeit one I don't see being used in ROTJ:R or any other forthcoming edit at the moment. Most of us aren't complete prequel-haters — the attitude of most of us is that they're not irredeemable, just in need of improvement. Personally, I think George Lucas is fairly good at plotting, and great at worldbuilding and visuals, but he doesn't do dialogue well and he's not great at working with actors. Given that, the prequels are more than salvageable.

From a plot point of view, I frankly don't think Anakin deserves to have his family returned to him. He was the second-baddest guy in the galaxy for over 20 years, and while he did redeem himself in the end, it's at least as important that he was defeated as that he was redeemed. While I don't particularly want to see his force-ghost removed or anything, I don't think his ending needs to be any happier than it already is.
