Its kind of funny because Star Wars movies all seem to be about pre-destiny.
Nothing was going to prevent Palpatines rise and the destruction of the Jedi. Nothing was going to prevent Anakin's fall.
The Force always seems to adjust and flow by its own design.
The Sith become this massive bloated army and the Force puts a reformer in the way.
The Jedi become arrogant and self entitled and lose their original mission and the Force arranges for a Dark Uber in Palpatine to send them tumbling.
Palptaine become arrogant and the force clouds his abilities and sends the chosen one to do a cleanup on Aisle three.
But I always wondered, could Obi-Wan have fallen instead of Anakin. Once if in attack of the clones he bought into the deception by Dooku and was slowly turned to the Darkside? Would we have seen Emperor Dooku the first and a Dark Obiwan at his side and the death of Palpatine and Anakin before they could rise.
What if the Jedi had found Palpatine as a baby, I mean he was probably the most powerful force user in the galaxy at one point of time. Would he have eventually fallen to his fate, or would we see a kind gentle justice driven Palpatine, and no one to mastermind the fall of the galaxy?
What if Luke had accepted his fathers offer in the name of saving his friends, or accepted Palpatines offer in the name of saving his friends?
I know there have been a lot of cartoons that had those theories, but frankly none of them were very good
