Who said anything about making him any less developed? The point is to make him more complex, rather than the two-dimensional villain he is. I consider this to be strengthening. Nobody's suggesting that we remove the film's conclusion or make it any less satisfying. If you like the film the way it is, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
The point is to make him more complex? How, by removing the only shape his character has got. If you think doing that makes him more mysterious and complex, go ahead. Where you see mysterious, I see vague. And congratulations on not understanding anything I said, by the way, judging by your response. I obviously come across as someone who thinks this movie is just swell as is. And yes, somebody suggested removing the scene with Sidious and Dooku meeting, and why? Because it instills mystery... What a brilliant idea. Remove any confirmation that Dooku is working with Sidious, after he's fought Yoda, Obi Wan and Anakin. But don't worry, we'll know exactly who he was aligned with in the next movie in the three minutes he appears before being removed from the plot.
Lucas already tried to put mystery into Episode II and admitted it didn't work, so they had to shoot new stuff to replace it. Not that that worked any better.
