What if Vader Got the Death Star Plans? - Star Wars Theory Fan Fic

In today’s fan fiction we’re going to cover what would have happened if Vader actually did get the Death Star plans in rogue one.
He was so close, and the fact that he didn’t just force pull the plans from the Rebel always made me wonder if he purposely let them get away, maybe he wanted it to explode because of his infatuation with the force triumphing over technological weapons.
What happens to Luke Skywalker? Obi-Wan Kenobi? Han Solo? Palpatine? Leia? Yoda?
Here's one way things could turn in an alternate fan-fiction universe...

Not to be that guy, but wouldn't the Death Star have a copy of the plans on their computer? In a New Hope, they analyzed the attack patterns of the Rebels and discovered the flaw. By taking the plans Vader would stop the rebel attack, but also the discovery of the flaw since they needed the additional info supplied by the rebels to find the weakness. After a Galen Erso hid the flaw in the design phase, so everyone who came after that use the plans for their part of designing the Deat Star to its construction missed it. So the flaw in the Death Star would go unfixed.

Vader, with Anakin always being on the spectrum of a part of him, never had the same extreme, unflinching, and fatal(?) overconfidence of Palpatine. In a way he would’ve been much more responsible with his plans, perhaps going a different direction even with the whole plan, as he knew he had much to learn; that piece of Anakin’s leftover penchant for inquiry and lack of self-confidence and mistrust for his feeling which persisted until his ultimate sacrifice
