The prophecy said nothing about dark or light just about balance. There can be no balance without both dark and light.
IMO Anakin furfilled the prophecy the minute he had gone dark. For a thousand years the Jedi ruled unopposed. They had no one to fight nothing to do. The jedi became a stagnat organisation. Anakin changed that, pherhaps not alone but his life did have a big impact. He was the chosen one by destroying the ilght and then the dark leaving neither. He furfilled the prophecy and made room for a fresh start, without the ancient Jedi or Sith to do anything. New one's new chances for both sides.
I also agree. Yoda as a Jedi as we know him, he is the strongest Jedi, certainly of the last 1000 years or so. However, if Yoda was turned to the dark side, he would easily be the strongest Sith ever, and that would be the end of palpy and Dooku in a heartbeat. Siths replace the weaker ones as we know, so definitely Sith Lord Yoda would replace all existing Sith, and would rule unchallenged. Dooku and Palpy together would be nothing for a dark side Yoda.
Hey!!! How come you think, that Yoda would be stronger if he turned dark side? I think that Vader/Anakin is the living proof, that the light side of the force is always stronger. I know that a lot of you are going to disagree with me on that but I don't care. Anyways let me get back to the topic: I think Yoda would beat RotS Anakin. I mean Yoda is able to survive a fight against Darth Sidious the master of Anakin and that sure means something.
Anakin is stronger in the Dark Side then he was at the light.
And the Dark Side allows more a more efficient form of fighting drawing more from the force and more aggressive attacks when you can. While as the light side preaches you not to do things like that, because you can get to used to it and start loving. All to prevent you to fall. Yoda knew force lightning, but he never once in his life would be the first to throw that at somebody even if that could kill his opponent. Its not Jedi like

I say that Yoda when he is 500 would easily waste Anakin, but even at 800, he would stilll win. He has more experience than anyone in the last 4000 years, has studied the force for over 800 years, and under excellent masters. He was around when some jedi who would have remembered Bane and Kaan and those sith wars were still around. Actually, I have a theory that Yoda himself may have even met Bane. Before you think I'm an idiot, think about it. We know that jedi/sith can live for hundreds of years (Yoda living to over 900 years). So say Bane was 50 on Ruusan, 100 or so years later Yoda comes along, bane would be 150, he could still be living. By the time Yoda becomes a jedi knight, say at the age of 24, Bane would be old, but could still be living at the age of 174. I can find no real proof for this anywhere, but its possible, and personally I think it is plausible. The only evidence I can find is in Dark Rondevouz (if you have other evidence, please tell me), when Yoda mentions that he was tempted greatly by the dark side in his youth and that he faced great trials. I think that meeting Darth Bane in battle would be a great trial, also if Bane tried to convince Yoda to turn dark, that would be great temptation.
Speaking of Dark Rondevouz, Dooku tries to turn Yoda to the dark side, however, he stops trying, not because a fight happens, but because he recieves a force vision of what would happen if Yoda did turn dark, basically it said that the galaxy wouldn't stand a chance, than him (Dooku) and Sidious would fall easily before Yoda. The galaxy could not comprehend the power that a jedi knight of over 800 years could unleash. And that is from Dooku, a person who trained under both Yoda and Sidious, if he says that if Yoda really wanted, he would wipe out Sidious, I believe him.
He also knew force techniques that others can only dream of, watch AotC and his force battle with Dooku again, Dooku shoots lightning at him, Yoda throws it back, and this is then what you need to watch, Dooku facial expressions, he looks about ready to faint when he sees Yoda casually throw the lightning back at him. And he had trained for 10 years under Sidious, you would think that during that time he would have seen Sidious throw lightning back at him if he could, espically during teaching Dooku to throw lightning.I think that Yoda's clearly superior knowledge and almost equal power, combined with his level-headedness would bring him to a win over Anakin.
ps. I agree with you guys about the chosen one and the prophesy, not thought out and nowhere in it does it say that Anakin is invincible and can beat anyone, even the entire jedi council or Exar Kun and Revan and Marka Ragnos and Naga Sadow etc. all combined without even braking a sweat. Foolishness if you ask me.
This is one of the best arguments for Yoda, if Yoda ever went Dark it would be lights out.
