Vader: "So, you have accepted the truth."

Luke: "I have accepted that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father."

 

I'm all for big ideas, but the notion of removing the whole Anakin-becomes-Vader story is pretty stupid. As deeply flawed as the prequels are, Anakin becoming Vader isn't it.

Say you manage to remove that story arc... then what the hell is the trilogy about? Why so much focus on Anakin Skywalker. And considering the prequels alone aren't the problem here, as Jedi clearly confirms it and also plays on the conflict between father and son.
