    I think Aleema would have abandoned him, and ran with the Krath to Exar Kun. The Sith would be weaker for having the Mandalorians as enemies instead of allies, but they also wouldn't suffer Ulic's betrayal.

    What if Anakin sided with Mace instead of Palpatine?

    Well, two things could happen.

    Being skilled in Vaapad with the combine force of Anakin, Mace might have stood a longer chance of defeating Palpatine, however, Palpatine had already revealed his status as a Sith Lord, thus he might have unleashed his Sith Lightning. Throwing him out the window? Possible, however, I could see Anakin catching him using the Force and Palpatine sneaking up and stabbing him with his Lightsaber.

    Or the two could have him pinned down, but Coruscant Guards might have come in after hearing the noise and seeing two Jedi with their lightsabers drawn at the Chancellor without context of the situation would lead to a definite shootout. It would further the anti-Jedi sentiments since the Guards would truly believe the Jedi have lost their minds in believing their "benevolent leader" was a Sith Lord.

    Instead of dying, what if Qui-Gon beat Darth Maul?

    What if at the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness, the Dark Jedi were executed?

    The Jedi would have been too easy on the next batch of Jedi with an interest in the Dark Side, and a rival sect would have been started that way - the Jedi's reaction to Dark Siders through history seems to go back and forth like a pendulum from too severe to too lenient.

    Indeed.
    Was thinking of a fan-fic where Tahiri died instead while writing that comment.

    Then I guess The Jedi Order and Sith Order would be more like warriors without the spiritual component? Different perspectives on life unless they decided to encapsulate their ideals under the banner of the Force, similar to the Mandalorian phrase of "The Way".

    Maybe a war regarding technology that stands in for Force Powers as there were technology capable of mimicking Force Powers in EU. Maybe a tale about a ruling government trying to rein in these opposing Orders and attempting to confiscate their "Force" technology, I dunno where I'm going with this exactly lol.

    Then the Sith and Jedi are two ancient orders of knights, one sworn to defend the Republic and the other sworn to expand the Empire. Hijinks ensue.

    Basically your asking for all the fantastical elements of Star Wars to be removed... so the Original Trilogy really is just a Hero's Journey and the Prequels really is just a Greek Tragedy... In Space!

    Grievous probably still dies and Palpatine has to delay his plan a little longer, probably with an excuse that the Separatist Council is still on the loose. He definitely has enough influence in the senate to keep power, and if Mace tries to force the issue as Ki-Adi Mundi suggests the Jedi get framed as the villains rather easily and Palpatine gets what he wants either way. It's really only Anakin's position that (might) change, but its difficult to say how he will respond to Padme's prospective death when he's so far from Coruscant with no possible answer to his question. It's entirely possible that when the visions don't fade, he goes AWOL, and things progress as normal.

    What if Satine lived?

    As an extension of this- what if Satine and Obi-Wan started a family after Order 66 on Tatooine?

    Anakin and Padmé live happily ever after.

    What if the Republic didn’t try to wipe out the Sith species at the end of the Great Hyperspace War?
