If you are serious (not the question that makes me wonder, but the way you ask it), it does seem a bit like overkill...on the other hand...

That may not be so bad either, especially the old and young versions both shown...but I'm still not so sure.

To me, the advantage of showing Anakin at the funeral (now placed as the very last scene for those who have not followed this thread long) is that Luke gets to see Yoda and Ben and feels, "Hey, there are those two guys I always knew were good role models and father figures...Nice to see them again."  Then at the funeral pyre he burns his father, unsure about his eternal fate--but then he sees his daddy's spirit!  "Oh wow!  My dad truly did redeem himself.  I thought I saw the last of him on the Death Star.  But now I know he's good to go."  It just seems like too much to show both IMHO.
