What if Anakin defeated Obi-Wan on Mustafar?
Anakin wins on Mustafar. Obi-Wan dies. Padmé survives. But Palpatine has plans for their unborn twins, and Anakin's victory has only made him easier to control. When R2-D2 uncovers the truth, Padmé demands more than revenge: expose the Emperor and answer for his own crimes. With Bail and Yoda's help, their confrontation becomes a duel broadcast across the galaxy. Anakin saves the people he once endangered, refuses the throne and surrenders. Luke and Leia inherit a future beyond the Empire, while their father faces justice. One changed duel. An entirely different galaxy. Would you turn the first page?
