Some fanfictions may focus on the emotional turmoil that leads Anakin to the dark side during The Clone Wars. His fear of losing Padmé, his ambition to be a great Jedi, and his growing disillusionment with the Jedi Council all play a part. By exploring these emotions in depth, we can see how he becomes more susceptible to the dark side's allure.
The consequences would be huge. The Resistance would lose one of its most powerful allies. It would also mean a new threat to the galaxy. Rey's turn to the Dark Side could inspire others to follow her, leading to a resurgence of the Sith. The balance of the Force would be severely disrupted.
Fanfiction usually develops Anakin's character by showing his relationships in a new light. His bond with Palpatine could be shown as more complex, with Palpatine slowly manipulating Anakin over a long period, preying on his weaknesses like his desire for power to save Padmé. This makes his turn seem more gradual and believable.
Some fanfictions explore Anakin's turn from the perspective of his friendship with Obi - Wan. Maybe there's a rift between them caused by outside forces, like a false accusation against Anakin that Obi - Wan doesn't fully believe him about. This slowly sours their relationship and Anakin, feeling abandoned by his friend, is more susceptible to the dark side's allure.
It could be a new Sith Lord created specifically for the fanfiction. This new character could be more powerful and devious than any before. He could be the one who lures Luke to the Dark Side and then becomes his enemy as they compete for power within the Dark Side hierarchy.
Another plot could involve a powerful Sith Lord who manipulates Luke. The Sith Lord could use Luke's insecurities, like his fear of not being strong enough to protect his friends. He could be tricked into believing that the Dark Side would give him the power he needs, and slowly turn to the dark side as a result.
If Rey turns to the Dark Side in fanfiction, one possibility is that she becomes a powerful and feared Sith. She might use her newfound dark powers to seek revenge on those who she believes have wronged her in the past. Maybe she would target the Resistance, seeing them as the ones who failed to fully understand or support her. Her connection to the Force could take a dark turn, with her using it for domination rather than protection.
She could be driven by a sense of betrayal. Maybe she discovers that the Jedi Order has been hiding something crucial from her, like a dark secret about her past or a false promise they made. This could shatter her trust in the light side and make her vulnerable to the temptations of the Dark Side.
It could be Darth Sidious. He is always looking for powerful allies. If he senses Ahsoka's potential and her growing disillusionment with the Jedi, he might manipulate her into joining the Dark Side. His cunning and power would make him a formidable antagonist in this scenario.
If Anakin never turned, Luke and Leia would have grown up with their father. The Skywalker family would be united, and they could all be trained as Jedi. This would make them a powerful force for good in the galaxy. Also, the Sith would likely have a harder time achieving their goals without Anakin as Darth Vader.
