Hate to break this to you, but the story always was going to make Anakin's sacrifice null and void. Because in the books that are now non-canon, Palpatine came back as a young clone and turned Luke to the dark side essentially making everything that Anakin did useless. So no matter what, Anakin's initial defeat of Palpatine means nothing. Only at least the canon version has him as all of the Jedi helping Rey deliver the final blow to the Emperor.
