But it's not this what I think only should be corrected in the PT, there are actually two lines from the OT that actually keep me somehow captive:

"When I left you I was but a learner..."

"I must obey my master"

I think there's still room for a twist in EPIII. What if Anakin foresees being chopped up by ObiWan, but instead, when the time comes, they swtich off their sabres and leave each other alive and well...

"You were my brother Anakin, I loved you"

"Don't make me kill you"

And they just leave each other there... then we'll come to realise that it's actually the Emperor himself who punishes his apprentices for not being mercyless and reckless. Palpatine torments Anakin in his office (if you are not planning to use the Vader hommage scene, then Anakin kneeling before Palpatine, with some FX and audio could do) until he gets all burned and ultimately ends up in the suit, and with literally a new dependancy!

Greetings!

That's a fantastic idea, Mithrandir. I don't recall anything like this coming up in the Radical Redux thread (though there is a lot to go through). If it hasn't I'd suggest pasting it there too.

Adding a different vision is also an amazing way to get rid of the existing oh-so-convenient prophetic dream of Padme's "death by pregnancy" which I've always hated as his rationale for turning as it makes turning to the dark side a calculated decision rather than a seduction.

I'm not sold on the Emperor being the one to give Anakin his injuries. I'm more than happy to assume he's suffered these between the events of both trilogies. It even still allows the interpretation of the canon 'molten pit' explanation as Obi Wan and Anakin may have battled at some point between films. It's best these things remain unseen as (as we've found out with what we got) they never do justice to our preconceptions.

This.

And while I love these ideas, I'm not sure how to make them happen.
