What if...Qui-Gon dies earlier in TPM.

Say while escaping Naboo for the first time a Stray turbolaser blast blows the royal transport to smithereens. Killing Padme, Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, having the esecondary effects that Anaki is never found and Darth Maul survives.

What effects does this have on Palpatines palns for galactic domination?

Woe to the galaxy. Alternatively, rejoice, the Emperor will protect us forever!

Anakin will eventually be found. News of a human Pod Racer is eventually going to reach the ears of the Jedi and eventually he'll be tested, particularily of Watto follows the money and takes him off Tatooine for other races. The question is what will then happen? my theory is that without Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan there to fight his case the Jedi may not accept him. Palpatine with his ears to the ground and low friends in high places makes him dissapear and take him under his wing and he becomes an even better trained Sith. Maul is kept on as a Sith Enforcer and possibly dies at Vaders hands when 3 starts to become a crowd.

Watto wasn't about to let Anakin race again. Plus, why would the Jedi test him? They were reluctant to test him when he was 10 let alone when he's a teenager. The Council only agreed because of Qui-gon's persuasion, in htis scenario, he's dead.

The Jedi won't have anything to do with Anakin without Qui-gon.

Regardless of the Jedi, Sith or anyone, Anakin IS The Chosen One, of the Force not the Jedi. He would eventually bring balance to the Force by destroying the Sith. It is his destiny. Wiether or not he destroys the Jedi in the process, well, that might make for a good infinities or something.

Thank you for ignoring the whole of my post. I already said that Anakin would not be accepted by the Jedi, this however does not mean that Anakin will go undiscovered by the Republic and Palpatine. Watto is a compulsive gambler and slavemaster. It's worth too much money for him not to race Anakin again, the uniquness of a human pod racer alone is a big draw. Anakin himself wanted to keep racing, going so far as to build his own pod racer out of spare parts, Qui-Gon came along when he did and provided a convenient excuse for him to do what he wanted to anyway. From there it's only a matter of time before he's found by either Palpatines agents or those of the Jedi.
