What if Sid never went nuclear...

It obviously never happened, but what would have happened if Sid finished frying Luke? Would vader have had to pick up the body and throw it down the shaft? Would Sid have allowed Vader to remain a sith, after he just got beaten down by a jedi? If not, would Sid fry Vader? If so, would he try to go get princess leia for a apprentice? If not, who else?

I doubt that he would fry Vader. It obviously takes two to run the sith business. Maybe it have turned into a race between the two who could get to Leia first.

If Sidious had killed Luke, he would have kept Vader as his second for the time being, but they would have perished when Lando and Wedge blew up the death star. either way, the Sith would have been exterminated.

But Sidious could have 'forced' the Falcon out of the Death Star, not? 😛

nah, he would have become Darth Deep Fried.

I often wondered that. Why would vader still be palpatines apprentice after palpatine betrayed him. In a way, Palpatine was just stupid to think Vader would be loyal after that show

Sith are never entirely loyal to each other, remember. One is always looking for someone more powerful.

This is the penultimate goal of the Dark Side.

Realistically, Palpatine might have killed Vader, since it is now completely official that Sidious intended to replace him. Earlier, it was unspoken; a looming threat. Now? Everyone knows.

And if Luke had enough time to drag his DARTH VADER's body from the throne room to the hangar bay after being lit like a Christmas tree for a few minutes, I'd say there's no way in hell Palpatine would have been on that thing when it blew.

He exploded...

Maybe he vaporized...

Something with a bang.

Either way...he's dead.

Clearly.
