If I remove Anakin’s confession to killing the Sand People, do I also remove all mention of the massacre? Seems like it was an important turning point for Anakin after Shmi’s death. I felt that without his confession, he would show no remorse as he was not conflicted enough about his actions. Any thoughts? Or just have him arrive in Tatooine to find Shmi’s grave?
I like what Hal9000 did. He kept the massacre, removed the confession, but kept Palpatine’s “remember what you told me about your mother and the sand people”. To make it so it’s something that he never confided in padme about, but did confide in palpatine, which he then uses to help seduce him to the dark side.
