The Chosen One
Why do a lot of people think Anakin's all powerful because he's the Chosen One? In EU, a lot of people have extinguished the Sith, (light side) Revan, the Exile, Luke Skywalker, etc. Some would also argue that Luke killed Vader too.
Anakin destroyed two Sith Lords. Obi killed half of them at the time, but he's not all powerful (though still pretty tough). Heck, Anakin STOPPED Mace from destroying the Sith, so why is it so important that he's the Chosen One if someone else could've done it too?

I think Lucas tried to put another plot twist or spin on the already seemingly obvious story (In other words, he was trying to spice up the prequels. He didn't want the movies to be TOO obvious.) and it backfired, really. GL himself says SW is all about imagination and creativity and "thinking outside of the box", as I heard him say himself the other day. Also, the notion he dismisses Eu entirely is nonsense, since he integrated many EU things into his prequels and even used to give out copies of Dark Forces as gifts.
Quite simply put, the average person is willing to take everything at face value, leave speculation and reasoning to others, ignore their ideas, and live in a comforting, suffocating coccoon of ignorance. End rant.
Again, I hath spoken.

I think Luke is the chosen one. Notice that he never gets his midi-chlorians tested (I may be wrong), and that Anakin might simply have been a pawn.

Anakin did fufill the prophecy when he killed Sidious. The Force just works in strange ways.

Not that I know off.
Besides this chosen one thing, Lucas pretty much says Anakin is the chosen one, but he never makes it clear in the movies. Mace constantly doubts the prophecy, Obi says Anakin was the chosen one, he didn't think he was at the end of ROTS.. Not anymore, then you still have Yoda who said that a prophecy could be easily misread, like we all know.
Qui Gon is the one that believes Anakin is the chosen one, the rest has doubts. whether he was right or not was never really answered in the movies

I believe Lucas made Yoda and Obi not believe the prophecy by the end of ROTS so after that they think it might be Luke. Which is half true, the Sith would not have been destroyed if Luke hadn't turned his father...

So? Then Padmé is also the chosen one, if it wasn't for her Luke wouldn't exist.
Okay so she helped Anakin go to the Dark Side, she didn't make the choice for him.

A prophecy as a rule is vague with no real clear descriptions otherwise it won't be cool... So no it didn't say Anakin his son will be the chosen one.
That just doesn't sound cool, when you are writing a prophecy would you write that or would you keep it vague, i'd keep it as vague as possible

Then how can you misread it? Nobody ever thought Anakin his mom was the chosen one, if they thought that they would have encouraged Anakin to find a wife

I have a prophecy.
Someone, somewhere, will bring ultimate peace and balance t the universe, through means totally unrelated at this time.
Oh, must be me. Or Bob. Yes, Bob is the Chosen One, cuz his mom can't remember his dad and he has a high bacteria count.

He is the chosen one, his destiny is to bring balance to the force, to do this he needs to destroy the old jedi order and the sith because all are too set in their ways to understand the true force or listen apprechiativly to its directions. At the end of RotJ the balance has been regained because as the one remaining 'jedi' Luke has the power to reform the understanding of the force without the strict regulations that swayed the judgement of the earlier jedi. The new jedi look for the force and aim to understand its movements rather than live like monks simly following the rules set out centuaries before

I think Watto is Annie's father. That explains why Watto knows what Jedi are and can resist a mind trick. He's probably Sith, too.
They should have a talk show, Springer style, where Sidious, Watto, Qui Gon, and a host of others come out and Shmi announces who is the real father of Anakin Skywalker. I'd hate to be security on that show.
