Luke Skywalker could be another key character. Since he is Vader's son, his presence could add an interesting dynamic. He might be the one who somehow triggers the battle between Anakin and Vader, or he could be in a position to influence the outcome of their fight, perhaps by appealing to the remaining good in Anakin or by facing off against Vader himself in a three - way struggle.
It really depends on how you write it. If it's Anakin at his peak before turning to the dark side, he has a lot of raw power and potential. But Vader has years of experience as a Sith Lord. So, it could go either way.
Darth Vader could encounter advanced droids that have developed personalities and even some form of Force - like abilities in this future. These droids might be a new challenge for him as they are not like the droids he is used to dealing with in his own time. He may also meet future versions of his former allies or enemies, who have been reincarnated or cloned in some strange new way, with different personalities but still with a connection to their past selves.
In the 'naruto is like darth vader fanfiction', their journey of self - discovery could be seen as similar. Naruto has to constantly figure out his place in the ninja world and how to control his power. Darth Vader is on a journey of self - discovery too, as he grapples with his identity as Anakin Skywalker and his role as Darth Vader. They also have a sense of isolation in some ways. Naruto often feels alone in his struggles, and Darth Vader is isolated in his dark armor, cut off from his former self and many human connections.
One idea could be a what - if scenario where Anakin in his pre - Vader state somehow gets a glimpse of his future as Vader. He could then fight against the dark side within himself that would turn him into Vader. Another could be a time - travel plot where Vader is sent back to face Anakin, and Anakin has to decide whether to accept his possible future or fight against it.
A fan fiction could also explore a parallel universe where Anakin and Darth Vader are two separate entities that co - exist. They are forced to fight not because of Anakin's fall, but due to some external force that wants to see the two most powerful Sith - like beings battle it out. This could lead to an exploration of their different fighting styles and the power dynamics between them.
One of the best Darth Vader novels is 'Lords of the Sith'. It really delves into the relationship between Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. It shows their power dynamics and Vader's complex feelings towards his master. Another great one is 'Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith'. This novel explores Vader's early days as a Sith, his training, and his internal struggles as he fully embraces the dark side.
