I agree.
quick question...in your vision, would anakin have been doing these assassinations of jedi while he was a jedi? what i mean was, when you say the jedi eventually figure this out are your referring to the fact that they find out that anakin is in fact a rogue jedi (sith) and the one responsible for the murders? I guess when you said this i kinda saw him as mole in the jedi order.
as far as meeting Padme, that could have been worked in as meeting her after he meets Palpatine. He would meet palpatine as a Sith Lord, after joining him but before the rest of the jedi figure this all out. Palpatine would inform him of his real identity and they would have interaction outside of their Sith dealings. It would be at this point, say Anakin is meeting up with Palpatine in the Jedi/Politician situation. Some political meeting would just be ending and he would get his first glimps of Padme. He then becomes obsessed with her and ends up talking to her and the whole relationship develops...the turmoil of his now 3 lives (Sith, Jedi, Relationship with Padme) would end up being what causes him to slip up some and allow the Jedi to figure out he is responsible for the Murders. This would be where Obi-wan confronts him and the battle ensues
In this situation the whole need for a struggle on a Naboo (or Alderaan isnt needed) and i think it would have been a much more cohesive story
Why couldnt Lucas come up with this?
