I personally think that Episode 1 should have never happened. You make Episode 2 into Episode 1, then make a clone wars film that coulda showed off more of Mace Windu, showed how Anakin was basically Captain America for the republic/jedi and how many out cold agents Palpatine actually had at his disposal.
I think then Episode 3 makes way more sense. Anakin doesn't look like a petulant child, he looks like a superior fighter and leader that's been shafted out of his promotion/re-assignment he's been working majority of his life for. Mace Windu's power is well established and makes for a much better fight between Palpatine contextually. And it makes Anakin's turn alot less sudden...
I mean that was obvious to me like the hour after ROTS was over.
