Which would of been a lot better.
As for the droid factory. I like it, its one of the few scenes I do like in AOTC, it is pointless action, but its good, and we needed to see Anakin with a saber at some point in the movie showing that he has some skills. Plus I've just always wanted a temple of doom style conveyor belt action scene in SW
I agree that it might have been better if Obi-Wan had been without the Counc's blessing, but I also think it is more tragic to even show the legendary Jedi Council did not heed the signs. Besides to me in TPM, Obi-Wan took upon himself to train Anakin when Qui-Gon died, regardless of what Yoda would have said to him in the room, especially to me when Obi-Wan did say, "I will train Anakin, without the approval of the Council if I must."
I also like the droid factory showing off Anakin's skills, having the classic Artoo saves our butt scene between him and Padme, and also I did like the humor with Threepio, especially when I figured out it was really a better redone scene with Threepio in AOTC then Jar Jar as much in TPM.
