-What if Anakin never even becomes a Jedi? Obiwan meets him, they become buddies, and then Obiwan tries to instruct him in the Force, and Anakin just goes bad from the start? I don't love this idea, but I think there's nothing in the OT that says Anakin had to be a Jedi.

"I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father", admittedly this is coming from Obi-Wan the biggest fibber in the galaxy but it would seem to point to Vader getting to the Jedi Knight stage before going down hill.

Good point. I'd forgotten that line. Although there's no reason that a NPT couldn't make is so that Obiwan ISN'T a big liar.
