Well the problem with Anakin and Palpatine talking in the senate is the lighting. You can change what's in front of them pretty simple. The problem is with the face shots as they talk. The color tone changes about 200 times. So it's pretty hard to replace the opera with anything, unless it's something that has the color of the room changing every 3 seconds.
One second the background is purple, then its teal, then it's (insert 5 different shades in between). Otherwise I would have done this a very long time ago.
It's a damn good idea tho. Just not possible to make it happen without it being obviously altered
Why not to make it a senate session with a huge hologram that informs about how the war's developing? You could keep the SFX (the people applauding the Republic victories now)
It could be either a guy (a clone or an officer dressed ala imperial, or even more, three or four officers/clone commanders) speaking and telling the news, or it could be an animation of Star destroyers about the strategies/tactics of the republic in the war (the romans used to do this when they sank the arena of the coliseum, I had the idea from that). Having it this way, it'd make it even more natural when Palpatine says "our clone intelligence found general grievous in Utapau"... it'd be kinda "I just saw it on the holonet".
I figure that as far as the ROTS image implies you would have to change the lighting from purpleish to blueish tones.
It's a shame that I don't know any 3d animator that could give you a hand to do this.
