With some editing, would it be possible to show the Clone War ground battles to start ROTS? GL considered the idea, but I don't know why he didn't do it.
Presumably because we already saw a ground battle at the end of AOTC, and he wanted a space battle isntead, to be less repetitive (not that he's exactly adverse to that).
If we didn't have the space battle at the start of Episode III, there wouldn't be one in the final movie. There's already an excess of ground battle scenes later on, the last thing it needs is more.
