What would it have been had he stayed a Jedi?
There are many different theories as to what would have happened if Anakin stayed walking on the path of light. Here is my take on what would it have been like before he chops Windu's hand off and him plummeting to his death.
Let's start when Anakin sees Mace Windu pointing his purple lightsaber right at Palpatine's face. Mace tells Anakin: "He's too dangerous to be left alive". Anakin thinks it over and realizes surely if he were to help defeat Palpatine he would become a Master. Anakin steps back and lets Windu stab Palpatine fatally with his blade. They both would stare at the lifeless Darth Lord and Mace would tell Anakin: "I am very proud and impressed with you. You have done a great deed figuring out the true sith lord. You have more than earned the title Master." Anakin would be very thankful and excited to know he helped defeat Palpatine and be given the rank of Master. Anakin would rush to Padme to tell her the great news. She would be very happy to know that her husband got his dream and tell him the baby was to be due soon. Anakin would be so happy about the news of both becoming a master and that his children were coming, he would not sleep.
The High Council calls Anakin in for the granting of Master. Yoda would tell an ecstatic Anakin Skywalker: "Come it has, to my attention, you discovered the dark lord of the Sith. Won the Clone Wars, we have." And Windu would say: "You have earned the title: Master Anakin Skywalker, please have your seat." Master Skywalker would thank him and return to his seat with a huge smile on his face. This is when C3-PO walks in and says: "Master Skywalker is being called upon for urgent matters, may I take him?" Yoda would nod and gesture for Anakin to leave. C3-PO and Anakin are walking down the hall when Obi-Wan comes speeding down yelling for him to stop. Anakin whips around and looks to see Kenobi catching up. He would put his hand on Anakin's shoulder and say: "You have more than earned it my friend. You will always be my brother and I'm proud to see you have become the very thing you wanted: A master." Anakin would say: "I could never have done it with out you." C3-PO would interupt saying they must go urgently. The two friends would wave at each other and Anakin continues on with Threepio.
"What is it?" Anakin curiously asks him. "Padme is going into labor!" Anakin has a look of shock and takes a speeder down to the medical facility where he rushes into the delivery room. Anakin sits by her side until the twins are born. "Luke and Leia." After they are born, Anakin secretly takes time off to be with his family. As time passes, they are taken into the Jedi Academy where Anakin keeps his eye on them while they grow up. He lives a long happy life, and the Galactic Republic stays strong by being protected by the Clones and the Jedi Knights.
