Peter Jackson's Star Wars Episode 3 v. George Lucas' Return of the King FITE!

If they swapped places, would Jackson be able to save Star Wars, and would Lucas be able to fuck up Return of the King (bearing in mind that the latter must mostly if not entirely be filmed by now)?

Episode 3 should contain most if not all of the following:

Mandalorian warriors
teenage Boba Fett
A big surly construction droid (neat Bender reference)
A maze
A new Maul-esque apprentice for Count Dooku
Wookies
A preggers Padme
A love rival for Anakin (to make him all jealous and pissed)
Prototype AT-ATs
Captain Antilles
Stupid babble about midichlorians
big 6-way sabre fight between Obi-Wan, Yoda, Dooku, Anakin and new enemy
Jar Jar getting his just desserts
Time-altering wormholes (good plot device, useful for if Padme gets pregnant AND gives birth all within the same film)
Anakin not learning (of forgetting somehow) about Padme, Luke and Leia (doubt we will get that far)
Anakin into Vader transformation
Glimpses of stormtroopers, Star destroyers etc.

not that i've really thought about it or anything...

I've seen the spoilers. Anakin, having married Padme, catches Yoda giving her cunnilingus. In a fury, he proceeds to chase Yoda out of the house and swears vengeance on all Jedi. In actuality it was not Yoda but a shapeshifting minion of Sidious. Palpatine, proud of himself, rallies the clone army and tries to convince everyone that it is necessary to preemptively attack Dooku's forces before they develop WMD capabilities. The senate almost buys it, but then Jar-Jar says something mean about Ewoks and is roundly criticized by his own party in a pointless subplot that only serves to further tarnish the memory of the late Qui-gon Jinn and distract the representatives from the real issues. Obi-wan returns to Coruscanth to talk Anakin out of being a vengeful ass but fails as per usual. Anakin rapes his own wife in a blind rage, knocking her up with twins, and takes off for the hills. Obi-wan follows. Palpatine succeeds in fucking up the entire parliamentary system thanks to Jar-Jar's idiocy and sends in the army to start serious shit. Yoda sees all this going on, has premonitions, feels the Force, and does nothing about any of it besides utter cryptic warnings to other people who can do nothing. Samuel L. Jackson finally says 'mother-Fucker!' and gets killed by hundreds of screaming parents. The last thirty minutes are a blur of computer animation, Anakin falls into a volcano, credits roll, John Williams gets paid for remixing himself for the umpteenth time in his career and George Lucas walks off with millions and millions of dollars as thanks for making us all sit through another three hours of unadulterated malignant shitoma, which we thought might have promise based on a B-movie he made over two decades ago.

Oh, and then Frodo throws the damn thing in the lava and Middle Earth is saved from evil. Thom Bombadil makes a brief appearance and hundreds of fairweather fans are completely bewildered.
