But here's where the problem is: Anakin's fall to the dark side. The movie had Padme dieing childbirth plot which is stupid. And then Palpatine manipulating Anakin, makes Anakin like some complete idiot who's just his pawn. He even doesn't freaking kill him when Palpatine reveals he is a sith! I'm honest to say, I still have no clue how to get Anakin to be seduced by the dark side, not out of paranoia and manipulation. I want the audience to understand Anakin, but not be with him. I want the audience to feel sad for Anakin for falling away, not mad at him. (that's how Obi-wan felt). If I keep the secret in a certain way, I can just leave his fall to be more of a mystery. I'm sure there are ways, I'm just lost here.

Check out L8twrtr's Dawn of the Empire. He rearranges scenes and makes the fall much more believable in my opinion.
