Yeah. But it would still show Anakin become Darth Vader. Because that's what prequels are for. You would still need to watch 4-5-6-1-2-3 if you wanted surprises.
I don't agree with this assumption.
Episodes 1 to 3 should have been earlier episodes set at that time thus maintaining the surprise if you watch them in number order.
We didn't need to see Anakin become Vader on screen we know this by Episode 6 anyway.
We didn't need to see Yoda either.
The plot should have focused on new characters who we didn't know the fate of and all that Anakin stuff should be vaguely going on in the background.
If any pre-doomed Skywalker clan members needed to be more centre stage it should have been Owen, Beru and Luke's mother not Anakin.
