I see where you're going with that. I, too, like the idea of returning to Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker being seperate people. I like the way you incorporated Obi-Wan being convinced that they were one and the same, as well. Nicely done...

But as auraloffalwaffle said above in Star Wars '77 Vader had no connection with Anikan. So Luke would not need to turn Vader back to the light side. Maybe Anikan's force ghost could help defend Luke against the emperor like Obi-Wan did in the early ROTJ scripts. Or how about the Emperor has no force powers? He is just a strong powerful political figure who has used the sith to rise to power. The emperor was never even shown having any connections until he lit Luke's world with his lightnning. Plus, this would strengthen the idea that he uses whoever and whatever he can to get what he wants. Also, can the Jedi be returned to their mystical warrior selves and away from the super heroes they are in the PT? Jedi should not need a ligtsaber as they become more powerful withe force, because they become more passive and defensive and less aggressive and offensive.
