I just had a thought, but I definitely need Angel's opinion on it:

What if we didn't show Anakin as part of the Force ghost trio?  What if we just see Obi-Wan and Yoda, and Luke smiles.  Then we show the funeral pyer afterwards, and while Vader's armor burns, we see his Force ghost appear alone.  That does several things emotionally speaking: 1) Anakin is alone, thus we see he is redeemed, but it may not appear that he automatically is granted Nirvana after his many past deeds; 2) It appears that in a sense, with the burning of Vader's armor, Vader is truly killed and Anakin is released; 3) It appears sort of like a final sad goodbye and making peace between father and son.

I really am excited about this idea, but I wonder if it's possible to pull it off.  And maybe I'm the only one who'd like it anyway.  Thoughts?  Can it be done?

Well the shot has Luke in front of the Pyre.

I guess you can remove luke and add some new fire elements (the shot sucks from variation and artistic point of view).

Also The ghosts managed to be behind that ledge. I guess we(you) can fade anakin without showing his ghost legs.(if you manage to extract the ghosts from the finale ofc)

In one mockup i did i extended the flames so i guess its possible.

I wouldnt mind the editing of the film finishes and when we have th final count of the shots we need i would start making mattes or whatever :)
