Exactly! I'd like that a lot better. I wouldn't mind seeing Padme living and going to Alderaan with all this. It seems fitting to me. It wouldn't have to be long or distract from the climax of the Mustafar duel too much. It would lead into the Death Star ending better, which shouldn't have taken 20 years to complete with the Empire's resources, regardless of strikes and holidays and whatever excuses certain persons make for it.

A little unorthodox though....I like the idea a LOT, but I'm worried it would detract from the final Mustafar duel. There needs to be a lot of emotion in that fight, which I feel would only come from Vader previously killing jedi.

Why not edit it so that Anakin's going around the galaxy killing jedi BEFORE the Mustafar duel? Like you said, make him the one to shoot down Plo Koon instead of some clone, add other scenes, stuff like that. It would imply a longer stretch of time, and would really rack up the anticipation for the final battle between Kenobi and Anakin.
