Though, it also raises a problem: if Anakin wasn't too old to become a jedi, then these young jedi-lings could easily be turned into Sith Inquisitors, so Anakin wouldn't really have to kill them rather than imprison them for indoctrination.
EDIT: Also, why would a bunch of six-year-olds have lightsabers, aren't those something jedi have to make for themselves? Where would these brats get the money and technical knowhow to attain these lightsabers? Where would a bunch of masterless kids get lightsabers, and would that be allowed normally? It seems that you would have to reinstall the older scenes of younglings and "too old"ness for that scene to not raise a bunch of questions.
Or whatever, just nitpicking and overthinking a few things.

Well, it seems I may have been a bit hasty. Like I said, on my second viewing I noticed the
However, the "leaked script" from a few days ago that contained information subsequently confirmed by Pablo Hidalgo describes the scene as
That makes sense, though I couldn't say for sure without seeing the film again... I suppose it won't be too hard to justify going to the theater again.
Here's a snippet. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
screaming children since I knew she was approaching Anakin's lightsaber.
a little girl crying, implying it to be Rey.

Rey is heartsick, but she turns as she hears the sound of a young girl in anguish, crying. She follows the sound into the castle, turning so she can't see that Finn has looked back at her one last time.

her. Walking carefully and confused, she is not sure why she's down here. She can hear the echoing sounds of a young girl crying. She heads down the hall... to the very end, where there is a door. It is almost as if a SOULFUL VIBRATION draws her closer. She looks at the door lock -- AND THE

For what it's worth, I always perceived the
By the way, unlike others I don't really have a problem with Anakin killing younglings in theory, but in the context of the film it feels like too much too soon for him. So removing it helps make his turn more gradual.
I say keep it out. I think you're safe in terms of ST continuity.
the screaming to be little Rey. Not only because we see little Rey screaming during the Force vision, but I think it's implied that the screams are induced by Finn leaving, which reminds her of her parents leaving her on Jakku.

The only thing I worry about would be if someone mentions Kylo Ren killing killing Luke's Jedi-trainees and likens it to what Vader did but I don't if that would happen and even if it did I still don't think you would need to add that scene back to EpIII.

I have a theory about the children screaming, and it has nothing to do with the prequels....
I think Rey was being trained with a bunch of other force-sensitive children at the Jedi temple where Rey eventually finds Luke. One of these children was also Ben Solo, who was seduced by the dark side and either directly or indirectly killed all the rest of the kids, save for Rey, before taking off with the Knights of Ren. Rey is smuggled away and left of Jakku, but not before her memories of force training are blocked for her own safety (until Kylo pushes his way into her mind, breaking down the barrier), and Luke goes into hiding. So the children screaming are actually the other force-sensitive children being slaughtered around young Rey, not the "younglings" from the prequels. This is supported by Kylo's reaction when he finds out that Finn and BB-8 escaped with a girl, and he immediately seems to have a specific girl in mind: *force choke* "What girl?!"
