Does Anakin know he was the "chosen one" or does Palpy tell him??

Did Anakin ever know that he was indeed the chosen one? or did the jedi not tell him. Seems to me palpy tells him or something where at the final duel he knows that he indeed is screwing the jedi over by turning evil.

Yeah a little off topic but i always wondered...

Yeah he knows. I think that's partly why he's arrogant. He's too sure of his abilities.

I think Mace said it in front of him but im not sure it was explained to him.

Thats a good question actually i always just assumed he knew b/c of his arrogance, but he could of always just noticed how much better he was then everyone without "knowing" he was the chosen one

Yeah because he may not have been much compared to Obi, Mace and everyother master, but when he compared himself to other padawans he probably noticed a difference.

Of course he knows in EP. 1 Qui-Gon says it in front of Anakin when the council said that he will not be trained. Qui-Gon tells the council that he is the chosen one.

Oh yeah , I had meant to say Qui-Gon originally.

No really I did.

See, now this doesn't make sense:
Why would Palpatine tell Anakin that he was the only person that COULD bring Balance to the Force by killing Palpatine? 😕
He wouldn't, and even if he left out the whole "kill Palpatine=balance" part....well, I don't think Palpatine "knows" about the Prophecy of the Chosen One anyway....or...bleh.

brining balance to the force was never implied to be killing Palpatine in Episode I etc. Anakin did not know what the task of being the chosen one really meant

Yes, I suppose....
God I'm not good at replying to peoples posts.....

"NERDS"

-Ogar

Im sure he learned about the legend of the chosen one during his years of training. I think the legend is assumed to be at least pert of the rationale for his arrogance.

There was also the audioclip from the trailer that was released in which Obiwan screams "You were the chosen one" So I'm positive Anakin knows.

I'm sure over the years he's been told about it numerous times, and not by Palpatine. Palpatine, if anything, would tell them that the Chosen One will bring balance by destroying the Jedi Order or something to help his plan out. Anakin knows he's the Chosen One, which, as said before, adds GREATLY to his arrogance and self-assuredness. He knows he has the potential to essentially become invincible, and that's why he is pissed that he isn't able to retrieve that power yet. He chooses to turn to the dark side because he feels that that's the only way he'll get these results, that the Jedi haven't nourished his talents yet but Palpatine, who's always supported him, will. Palpatine will help him fulfill his power threshold and be able to basically become a deity.

In which case, the idea of becoming invincible, shatters when he is transformed into the half machine, half man that we know as Vader...

palpy prob told him

Yeah, I think we've sewn this one up.

Anakin knows from the moment QGJ mentions it that he might be this 'Chosen One' thingy.

Just no-one in the SW Galaxy has a load of GL quotes that helps them know exactly what the Chosen One is and will do.

I think Luke is the chosen one he did bring balance to the force

Luke is the chosen one I agree.

In ROTJ , the Jedi that returns back is Anakin tough .......

I, at first, thought that Luke might be the chosen too but I feel it is Anakin. You can't trust GL in his storyline outside the movies because he makes things up and changes things as he goes along. One has to make up his own mind what the story is telling you. Not what GL says. I don't care if he did create it. If he didn't put it in the movie then it is up to you to fill in the blanks.

My theory was always that balance to force would be the same number on the light side as dark side. Thus leaving Yoda and Obi-Wan vs. Papatine and Vader. When something is balanced that means it is equal on both sides. The jedi might not have understood what balance meant or they would have seen this coming. The prophecy said that a Chosen one would bring balance to the force. They might not have understood that it would mean the elimination of every jedi. Just my thoughts.
