I've always wondered. If Anakin defeated Obi-Wan and didn't get mutilated into Suit Vader, did Palpatine expect Anakin to surpass and replace him? Is that something Palpatine wanted?

That is what he says to Yoda in RotS. But there's other sources where he claims he doesn't want to be surpassed or succeeded.

In canon, yes. He wanted a successor. In legends, no. He wanted a pawn.

I've always found it strange that Palpatine (or every master in the Rule of 2) wanted the apprentice to grow more powerful, as that would obviously lead to the Master's immediate death.
