In this scenario, the Jedi manage an eleventh hour victory against the Sith, in this way.
During the duel in the Senate Chamber, Yoda is thrown to the floor, and Palatine laughs. He wants Yoda to think he is still going strong, so that Yoda will retreat instead of continuing the fight (as happened in the original timeline). In reality, Sidious is even more exhausted than Yoda.
ITTL, Yoda sees through Sidious' ruse, and jumps back into the fight, managing to slay Darth Sidious just as more Senate Guards arrive.
On Mustafar, Darth Vader senses his Master's death in the force. This shakes him, and makes him more aggressive and careless. Obi-Wan ends up killing him.
What happens next? I assume that, even if whoever becomes the new Chancellor rescinds Order 66, the Jedi will have to go into hiding for a few generations. Between Palpatine's propaganda, and the fact that Yoda was witnessed killing the "beloved chancellor," the Jedi will be persona non grata for a while.
Would the Empire still come to exist? Have the forces put into play by Sidious already gone too far to stop, even without him at the wheel? And if so, who would take charge?
