What if Anakin didn't fly off into a rage and kill the Tuskins?
It may have delayed his fall because he would not have already tapped into the dark side. His mother may have had a role in preventing his fall down the road as well.
What if Anakin had been sent to track down General Grievous?

Hey, darken down, guys!
What if Dooku had killed Obi-Wan in their duel on Geonosis? Or, for that matter, on the Invisible Hand?
I always think about this, especially in the beginning of ROTS. What would've happened to the rest of the saga?
Obi-Wan Kenobi is eternal

Then Anakin would have been screwed depending on when it happened though. If it happened in AOTC well Yoda would have come at one point to help him. But if he dead in ROTS right away well Anakin would have had a real problem getting out of there with Palpatine.

What if Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan never became separated when they faced the Sith apprentice?

I think they had a chance to defeat him [without anything happening to Qui-Gon]. Qui-Gon held his own against Darth Maul but in the end Maul eventually killed him with a quick series of slashes and a bash move. In my mind he would not have had time to carry out this sequence of moves if Obi-Wan had been on his other side. Therefore Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon together would stand a very good chance of defeating Maul.

What if Anakin actually had the strength of character to take Yoda's advice in ROTS? He wouldn't have turned to the dark side and he, Padme (she wouldn't have had to die of a broken heart) and the kids would have been an intact family.

Then Maul would have killed them both. I know this goes against the grain of conventional thinking, but hear me out before you light your FLAMETHROWERS.
"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many things some consider to be un-natural..."
I don't want to enter that debate about what side is stronger, to me they are equal. What I believe is that the dark side makes the USER STRONGER. In that, it affords the adept the added advantage of calling on that power, rather allowing power to flow. This means the Dark-sider is less apt to tire before his opponent will.
Further evidence of this is when Yoda runs from Sidious. Sidious could have chucked those Senate Pods at Yoda, all... day... long.
IMO, Yoda had reached his limit and could NO LONGER repel them, so he had to duck out of the fight.
When Vader and Kenobi were on the floating platforms Obi-Wan looks VISABLY FATIGUED. He is breathing hard and his posture indicated he was nearing his limit.
Vader only seemed to be sweating from the heat, with no labored breathing, and he was standing upright.
"You don't know the powerrr... of the Dark Side of the Force!"
So in the end, I think Maul would have worn them out and killed them both.

I hear what you're saying, but I don't believe it 
I think that OBW and Qui-Gon clearly pushed Maul back the whole time. Dooku seemed to be quite worn out after his fight with Anakin in AOTC. They can become tired it seems. Maul needed to separate them, it was his only chance.

I hear you, but counter with this:
Anakin hated the man from Sereno(sp). It wasn't until Anakin tapped into his hatred, that he overpowered him. The Count wasn't trying to kill him, he was under the assumption his Master would intervene, should their plan go astray.
Dooku at full throttle would have made for a much tougher fight for Mr. Skywalker. Not that I think the outcome would have been any different, it just would have taken longer for The Chosen One to kill Lord Tyranus.
After all, hate IS a powerful tool...

It certainly is. But love may be argued to be an even stronger tool!! Also, people hanging on a cliff clinging to their lives eventually have to let go... in the end willpower just will not cut it... I know the force gives extra power, but I doubt if even the force will let you fight forever. There must be some capacities. The strongest of Jedi and Sith might have the highest capacities. To me, it seemed that Maul deliberately separated them to save his capacity... turned out too bad for him though
