Just a question from a hardcore original trilogy fan. I did not get into the expanded universe of post empire books and video games. I only got into Shadows of the Empire and that's it. I am in my 20s now and I really changed my view on Luke Vs Vader on the Death Star. I think if Luke didn't destroy his father in a violent rage, Luke would have lost. I'm not saying Vader would have killed him. Because logically we see he saved his son, he obviously always cared for him. I think two things would have happened
1.) Vader wins, refuses Palpetine's orders to Kill Luke. They escape the Death Star together and Anakin tries to live out his remaining years at peace.
2.) Luke Loses. The Death Star's explosion kills all three of them.
Not doing fan fiction here, I'm just giving outcomes based on what happened in the movie. Also, Luke gained so much strength in such a short amount of years. But Anakin has more experience and I think he lost because he never expected his son to actually give into rage.
