Well Dark Anakin could. If they fought in a well protected part of the temple, I think Anakin could have killed him. But as aforementioned, that is just my humble opinion.
Vader, according to the novels (ESB ROJ) did indeed think he could overthrow Palps but only with....a very big WITH, Lukes help. During several of their conversations in both books (vader/sidious), Vader was amazed at his Master's command over the dark side. This fact alone kind of let the reader know that Vader was outgunned, one on one with palps. With Luke, he knew it would be so....cept Luke did not join him as we all know.
In ep3, Anakin would have been spanked by palps, without a doubt. If he kept his human form tho, it was just a matter of time and not the 19 years to ANH. Knowing the stories and characters, I would guess(lol) that palps would have been killed within 5 years because no one in the universe could have controlled a human anaking(darth vader) skywalker.
Hell, the empire would still be there today.
I think if Anakin never lost his limbs he would have beaten Palpatine within due time. I don't think he would have allowed the emperor to get away with the lies he told Anakin. He would have overthrown. Since he didn't have Padme anymore he just would have ruled the galaxy. I think he would have been a tyrant.

Haven't we been through this before? 🙄Why would Vader want to overthrow Palpatine? To Vader, all Palpatine has done is be a good friend and mentor.
