In the beginning of the novelization of ROTS I believe Anakin always daydreamed of his other life.. He would have had without the Jedi, Sith, Padme, or Emperor...
The Galactic Podracing Champion...
A racing prodigy from the age of 9..getting better and better every year..
Surely, he could have become the best, the elite..
Fame, fortune, glory, women, and prestige... maybe even sponsered by the Hutts.. He and Kitster would have owned half of Mos Eisley..
He could have bought he and mom's way out of slavery and led normal lives..
What do you think Anakin could have been without the Force, Jedi, and the Sith?
THX,
