No, I'd have closed this thread if it was. But I can still make a point about how stupid "what if" threads are. In short: what focus said.

I think Anakin wouldn't have lasted very long at all as Emperor, and with Palpatine dead and him removed from power, the galaxy would be a much better place if Vader had killed Obi Wan on Mustafar. Here's why.

Anakin, a guy with barely, if any at all, political experience and who doesn't even match Palpatine's charimastic skills in the political arena, assasinates the leader of the Empire, how would he gain their loyalty, despite being the hero with no fear, a galactic hero during the clone wars?

The clonetroopers might have even shot him after commiting treason by killing Palpatine, and somebody else could have taken Vader's place to rule the Empire, probably in a few days/months after Vader killed Palpatine.

Or Vader would have been arrested.

Ironically, Anakin killing Obi Wan would have been better for the galaxy in the long run.

I think this is retarded. Why would he force Luke/Leia to fight to the death? His whole issue is loosing the woman he loves so I don't think making his children fight to the death would really be something he would want. Them perhaps having a rivalry that makes them bitter enemies in the pursuit of their fathers approval/affection and the right to be his right hand and successor seems more likely. 'the rule of two' is enforced to keep the number of rivals to a minimum and I doubt despite training them in the ways of the force/sith he wouldn't subject them to such a pointless death. More so given he wasn't trained as sith ...at all really.. He is a Jedi who had given in to the dark side but all that 'their can only be two' crap was all the emperor.

I disagree. I don't think Anakin would raise his two children together. I think Yoda would fight Anakin and rescue one of the twins from him.

^-----This. Although I would add that after defeating Obi Wan and obtaining his children, Anakin might drop out of the political arena altogether. His only reason for joining the Dark Side in the PT was to save Padme and protect his baby, since they all died (he thought) he gave in to the Dark Side completely right up until he learned Luke was alive. What makes you think he wouldn't do the same thing if he managed to save his children in ROTS? With Padme and ObiWan dead, Anakin would focus all of his power on protecting and loving his children, forfeiting any power in the Empire he might have achieved.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned cause the thread is long and I don't want to read it. But the Revenge of the Sith game addresses this actually, if you win against Obi Wan, then Anakin kills the Emperor and then the galaxy belongs to him no expression

And I thought that was immensely ridiculous.

Yeah, I mentioned this. I think it is an interesting take on the "what-if" scenario.

Palpy responds just as slowly as the Jedi he killed in his chambers.

And Anakin/Vader was no idiot; he was smart and cunning.

Nothing in that scene said that he wanted to trash the death star, you can keep a useful tool even you think it's overrated.

that very true. if u remember on ROTS obi wan mentions that anikan is becoming a far more powerful jedi than he could hope for. he also mentions that anikan is a cunning warrior
