"The dark times will unfold, and into their midst a Chosen One will be born, one who will destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force."
A prophecy that misread could have been. Anakin was not born into the midst of the dark times, the Sith did not re-emerge until he was nine years old. Does Anakin destroy the Sith? No, he joins them. Does he bring balance to the Force? No, to quote Obi-Wan, he leaves it in darkness.
It is Luke Skywalker that is the chosen one. Born into the midst of the darkest time the galaxy had known for thousands of years, it is Luke who destroys the Sith in his father, turning him back to the good side of the Force. It is for Luke that Anakin kills Sidious, not for himself, for he knows he is dying anyway.
The Force in Luke is so strong that he is willing to die rather than turn to the dark side. He willingly goes aboard the Death Star knowing it will soon be nothing but space debris. He is willing to die by his own father's hand if necessary.
Mace Windu once said, "when times are darkest is when the light we are shines the brightest." Never was that more true that at the end of ROTJ. It is Luke who saves Anakin from an eternity of darkness, and brings balance to the Force.
I KNOW George has said that Anakin was the Chose One, I'm just proposing an alternative idea... At least think about it.
