What if Anakin/Darth Vader Beat Obi-Wan: A Sith Dominance Scenario

The defeat of Anakin Skywalker by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the final duel on Mustafar is a defining moment in the Star Wars saga. However, let's explore the alternative scenario where Anakin wins. Would Darth Vader eventually be able to overthrow the Emperor and rule the entire galaxy? Let's delve deeper into this intriguing hypothetical scenario.

The Rise of a New Sith Lord

Should Anakin have triumphed over Obi-Wan, the consequences would be monumental. With increased control over the Force, Anakin would have likely achieved a more balanced and potent version of himself. This would have enabled him to fulfill his potential as a powerful Sith Lord, one capable of undermining the Emperor's grasp on the galaxy.

Twins and Empire Control

Contrary to the original storyline, the existence of Anakin's twins, Luke and Leia, would be different. Upon returning to Coruscant or keeping Padme on Mustafar, Anakin would have sealed their fates under the Empire's control. By birth, these twins would be shaped by the emperor, with Yoda no longer being a factor in their development. Essentially, the Empire would have secured their victory, even if Obi-Wan had won the duel.

Yoda and Leia's Early Training

Assuming Leia was taken by the Empire, she would not receive training from Yoda. Instead, she would begin her early training under the tutelage of the Sith. At the age of 13 or 15, Leia would be significantly more powerful than Luke, who would receive little to no training before his discovery by Ben Kenobi.

The Emperor's Downfall

In the wake of the Emperor's eventual demise, Darth Vader would have grown tremendously in power. Sensing a strong light side disturbance in the Force, he would have tracked Yoda to Degobah. In this setting, Yoda would be a powerful force user, but not as formidable as Leia, who would be facing Vader’s full wrath. The descent into chaos and battle would ensue, with Vader quickly overpowering the old Jedi Master and then moving to face his daughter.

Vader’s Reign

Vader would then embark on a mission to train Leia, possibly even Luke, and solidify his dominance. Strengthened by his encounter with Abeloth, he would emerge as one of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy. His children, Leia and Luke, would become even more formidable, surpassing their father in raw power, thereby ensuring the Empire’s invincibility.

The Fall of the Rebellion

>With Darth Vader controlling the galaxy and his children being incredibly powerful, there would be no chance for the rebels. The Empire would have secured its complete dominance, and the galaxy would be under relentless rule. Anakin, now Darth Vader, would have succeeded where he failed to lead, ensuring the Empire’s reign through sheer force of will and power.
