Nice idea. This raises one issue though - that of a plot hole in ESB. In the scene where Luke leaves Dagobah to help Han and Leia, Obi-Wan turns to Yoda and says "That boy is our last hope", to which Yoda replies "No, there is another". This would suggest, on first viewing, that Obi-Wan is unaware that Leia is also a Skywalker. Yet, in RTJ, Obi-Wan reveals to Luke that he does indeed know that Leia is his sister. Why then, would he act like he didn't know of this "other hope" in ESB?
Perhaps, perhaps, at the time of ESB he really is unaware of Leia's status, then, after Luke has left, Yoda informs him of the full story. That would explain how Obi-Wan is able to tell the story to Luke in RTJ, whilst apparently not knowing in ESB.
In ANH when Obi-Wan first sees Leia on the hologram message, he obviously recognises her, and obviously knows the identify of her 'father' to whom she refers in the message (Bail Organa). Yet that does not necessarily mean that he knows her full background and significance.
If this is the case, then the final line of Ep3 as suggested by Jedi Master DJR could not be possible, as Obi-Wan would be ignorant of there being two offspring of Anakin/Padme, just as Anakin and Palpatine were. Yet if Obi-Wan does know, and such a final line is possible, how do we account for his apparent ignorance of Leia when he talks to Yoda in ESB? Surely if he knew of her parentage he would not be saying that Luke was the 'Last Hope'.
Perhaps the final scenes of Ep3 will be similar to the final scenes of RTJ, which is in fact three different concurrent scenes - the Ewok battle on Endor, Lando and the Rebel Fleet attacking the Death Star, and Luke, Vader and the Emperor duelling inside the Death Star.
How about 3 similar concurrent scenes for the end of Ep 3 - in Scene 1, Obi-Wan is duelling with Anakin in the lava pit; in Scene 2 Palpatine and Dooku, having taken over the Curscant and the Senate, are duelling with Windu and the remaining Jedi (Samuel L heroically takes out Dooku only to get wasted by Palpatine afterwards), AND, in Scene 3, meanwhile, over at the maternity hospital, Yoda is tending to Padme's birth, giving away one baby to Bail, whilst passing on the other one to the Lars family ?
Perhaps the last line of Ep3 could be Yoda telling Owen and Beru to be careful with their new kid:
"Not a farmer is he. Too much of his father in him he he has."
