[Star Wars] Following on from the discussion about teaching Vapaad style to Anakin, what if he had originally been found by and paired with Mace Windu from the beginning? How might be have developed differently as his Padawan instead?

Mace's distrust and barely concealed contempt was damaging enough to young Anakin when he was merely a lofty, rarely encountered Council member. 

Being raised by Mace would've fucked Anakin up worse. Mace is the worst *possible* Jedi to raise Anakin actually because Mace can sense anomalies in the Force; clusters of importance to fate, and his sensing of Anakin's importance filled him with paranoia. You know who are taught by paranoid masters? Sith.

By the original trilogy Anakin-as-Vader was a Lawful Evil foil to the Emperor's Neutral Evil. Dangerous to be around, but predictable. Raised by Mace, Palpatine would've had him much, much sooner and raised him in his own image. He'd be an absolute force of nature, barely sane if at all, and all the worse because the duel on Mustafar wouldn't have occurred and he would have access to all of the Force potential he was born to.

The suit was what tempered Anakin into the Vader we meet later. It was a brutally hard lesson that brought a short, shocking stop to his career as the complete deranged, drunk on power lunatic he was on Mustafar. Due to his new state he had to learn to control himself, because he was physically and spiritually crippled and needed far more discipline to achieve the things he could do as naturally as breathe previously. Without the lessons the suit forced, he'd have been Mustafar Vader on steroids *all the time* and Palpatine would have encouraged it.

Perhaps Yoda or most of the rest of the Council could've raised Anakin better than Obi-Wan, who didn't seem able to rein him in and even indulged Anakin a lot. One of the older Masters who have had experience with difficult, emotionally tumultuous apprentices would have been ideal - Yoda, for example, who taught Mace. 

But the Council were too busy condemning Obi-Wan's stubbornness in honoring his fallen Master's last wish, making a point of disapproving through their coldness too a child who had just lost his mother, and that combined with Obi-Wans inappropriateness as a guardian and teacher for a child of Anakin's nature led to the prequels as we saw them.
