We also need to consider the small fact that, whilst the Jedi where aware of the prophecy of the chosen one, the sith were totally ignorant of it. For did not the Emperor Himself suggest that the Son of Skywalker be destroyed. It took a former Jedi (Vader) to remind His Excellency, Lord Sidious that Luke would make an excellent ally to the sith.
Balance here? Clearly so.
Indeed, indeed, and the point is, it was Anakin/Vader who instigated the balancing factor with Luke as the catalyst to what became a swift chain of events. Obi Wan very probably foresaw this, hence his decision to hide Luke from Anakin, knowing full well that they would meet later, Anakin could fulfill his prophesy and Luke would would complete the circle that the sith, inadvertently, had started.
Darth Sidious/Emperour Palpatine seemed to have been totally oblivious to all of this but then the Sith where unmindful of the "Living Force", they simply wished to tap into it's inherent power, not learn from it's ability to guide and teach.
Whilst the Jedi allowed themselves to be nutured and guided by the Force, the Sith took it's power to try to feed power. They cared not about the continuance of the Force, nor little about knowledge of the Force.
Perhaps all along, the Force itself ensured fulfillment of the prophecy. Perhaps the demise of Vader/Anakin and Sidious/Palpatine was simply...........the Will of the Force.
How about this? Palpatine tries to convince Anakin that the Jedi are corrupt and they could have saved his mother. The Jedi discover Palpatine's Sith ways and attack him. Anakin, confused as ever sides with Palpatine to defeat the Jedi. This is what I have concluded from the various hints that Lucas has dropped in the commentary of the two DVD's.

and I thought it would be
"Some day, I will be the most powerful Jedi ever!!" or
"I truly, deeply, love you... and before we die I want you to know." or even
"From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a moment has passed that I haven't thought about you." 😛
You know me too well Yerssot...😊
Those lines rock too of course!! 😉 😛 💃

That's what I rekcon too. Palpatine manipulating things to turn Anakin against the Jedi, against Obi-Wan.
Interesting. I'd like to see some link to his line in Clones...
"I'll even be able to stop people from dying..."
Maybe, like what you said jm10, he tries to do something good, perhaps healing someone, perhaps Padmé. He fails, or whatever and gets angry and falls to the darkside in an effort to become more powerful in order to save her. Just a thought.
