[Star Wars] If Palpatine was killed prior to the events of the movies, would Anakin still have fallen to the Dark Side?

Sidious was a major contributing factor to Anakin's fall, however he just helped him down a path that was already revealing itself to him.

Would Anakin eventually have fallen had Palpatine not intervened?

Well without Palpatine Naboo probably wouldn't have been blockaded so Qui Gon and Obi Wan may have never found Anakin and he may have just lived out his life on Tatoine becoming a successful Pod Racer.
