What would have happened...Let me speculate...the blockade still would have been won....Palpatine still became supreme chancellor and would still have Maul as an apprentice...If the Jedi didn't train Anakin by someone else (who knows what would have happened...they can't just leave him on Coruscant and sending him back to his mother under slavery would also be cruel) Palpatine would probably taken him himself. He could have trained Anakin himself or keep Maul. Either way...the clone army would still have comed, palpatine would get his emergency powers and the rest would be the same....after the clone wars he would have just sent if not for Anakin another apprentice with his legion to defeat the temple, he would have hinted the Jedi in another way he was a Sith...so that he could declare them as traitors once they tried to arrest him. Empire would come...
Oh and none of that would have happened if the big bang never happened.
