PT If Anakin defeated Obi-Wan at Mustafar

Who would've taken Luke to the homestead? And who would've put Luke on the path to becoming a Jedi and ultimately defeating Vader and the Emperor? Yoda was far away on Dagobah. What a dumb question IMO

 

Where can I find that quote by Lucas? Which interview was that in?

 

Let's back up a little bit. We don't really know for a fact that Anakin was taught the power to bring back the dead, or if Palpatine even had that power under his belt. For all we know, he could have simply deceived Anakin into wanting that power and influencing him to fall for the dark side of the force.

Let's say he did have that power, thought, I would still believe that he could not have brought her back. We hear at the end of ROTS that she had "lost the will to live." Thought Anakin may have had that power to bring her back, if she didn't want to live any longer, then his attempt would be useless.

 

Anakin would of been to late to safe padme, she was dying from a broken heart.

 

If Obi-Wan is killed on Mustafar, Anakin immediately returns to Padme's side. He signals Palpatine for assistance who sends a medical ship to rescue them both. At the imperial medical facility Palpatine learns that Padme is pregnant with the offspring of Anakin who he sees as a threat to the loyalty to his new apprentice. Sometime during her pregnancy, Padme has an "accident" where she and her offspring in the womb have some fatal injuries from which they never recover. Yoda still finds other Jedi in exile and raises someone up strong enough to kill both Vader and the Emperor without the Skywalker clan.

 

Vader would have slaughtered Palpatine, if he touched Padme. An uninjured Vader drawing on his anger and the full Power of the Darkside? Not even a contest.

 

Her death mostly likely would have been arranged through a third party such as a bounty hunter or some other act which would make it look accidental.

 

Or maybe anakin would kill palapantine and rule the galaxy just like the alternative ending on ROTS video game.

 

Anakin would still have to contest with Sidious and Yoda. Padme would still die because Anakin had turned to the dark side. However Luke would never meet Ben meaning he would not join the rebels resulting in the death star being completed. Thus Darth Vader (and perhaps Sidious too if Vader never fought him) would remain in charge of the empire until they died in a fiery inferno (otherwise known as the first galactic imperial residential home)

 

Or Palpatine finds a way to injure Anakin in a way that will make him into a cyborg first anyway and make him helpless to fight back.
