Stuck between two ideas my my TPM re-write

I’m currently re-writing TPM, and I’m stuck between two set of characters for the movie, I originally had it one way, but as I was rewriting it, I came up with the second, and I’m not sure what to do about it

Idea #1:
-Mace Windu is assigned with Obi-Wan (who is still Yoda’s padawan) to talk with the leaders of the CIS (the TF is replaced with the Separatists from the beginning)
-Qui-Gon is qui-gone
-Mace Windu leads the charge on the ground and a teenage Anakin and Obi-Wan storm the palace and encounter Maul, and no one dies, not even Darth Maul
-will lead to Mace getting kicked out of the order in AoTC like in the Journal of the Whills

Idea #2:
-Anakin is Obi-Wan’s padawn and they have aggressive negotiations with the leaders of the CIS
-Obi-Wan training under Yoda is only mentioned
-they meet Shmi on Tatooine and the audience and Anakin doesn’t know until later that she’s his mother since Anakin was discovered as a young child
-Anakin does podracing to get them off
-transfer the entire Obi-Wan and Anakin vs. Dooku sequence into the movie except it’s on Naboo and it’s against Darth Maul

Let me know what you think!

Your first idea is the more original, intriguing one. I’d suggest running with that one.

Aight I edited it for confirmation and spelling stuff. Does your opinion still stand?

First idea sounds fantastic
