my opponent announces sudden movement targeting his personality in the battle and his personality at home. can I interrupt with final sacrifice to have him target my yojimbo in the battle and my personality at home?

No.

With the changes to targeting in Twenty Festivals, and the errata to Final Sacrifice, it attempts to change one of the targets of the action to be your Yojimbo, and since he and your opponent's Personality aren't a legal pair of targets for Sudden Movement, the re-targeting fails.
