Bob, I seriously can't stop thinking about this idea. I REALLY WANT THIS IDEA COME TO LIFE. It's the best way to go IMHO. It respects both trilogies and has more of an impact, if you think about it.
I would really like to hear your thoughts on this. Seriously.
^Good idea, except that the audience would want to know what the heck happened to Anakin that put him in the suit.
You just don't show his transformation. Let him stay there and makes us guess what the hell happened.
That's why you have the Original Trilogy. If it's supposed to be like ONE movie, then it's ok to leave some sort of cliffhanger at the end of Part 3, don't you think?
I'm actually starting to notice some flaws in idea, starting with the fact - why wouldn't Anakin be at Padme's funiral? ...Either way, I want to know Bob's opinion first.
