Okay, Mstr GEKA, I can tell this is another one of your completely intelligent topics, so I'm going to treat it like I treat all your other topics. The war, the darkness, the dictatorship under Palpatine were not needed. Anakin techinically could have killed Palpatine when he had the chance, and none of the original trilogy would have happened, yes, but Palpatine would have still been defeated.
Point being, the war was not a requirement for the balance to be achieved. In the case of the Star Wars trilogy, the war and darkness did preceed the peace and balance, yes, but they were not required for such balance to be achieved.
Anakin fulfilled the prophecy in Episode VI, by killing Palpatine.
Anyway, in my opinion, prophecies and destiny and such are merely possiblities, predictions. It was predicted that there would be one, the Chosen one, who could bring balance to the Force. In fact, Mace says "You refer to the one who could bring balance to the Force." That means the prophecy could or could not have been achieved, but that were the prophecy to come true, it would have been the Chosen one who accomplished it.
It also doesn't mention how the prophecy would be fulfilled, leaving freedom of choice for how it would be done, in that regard as well, such as Anakin turning to the dark side temporarily.

What I'm saying is that it seems that balance can not be achieved without pain and war... Who would agree with this in the real world?
I wouldn't. This is a very pro-Bush (just to point out the main current representative 😘) position that has always proven itself to be wrong .... even now. We never ever learn. 🙁

Yes but there's always the mystery: what if he had chosen a different way? Prophecies state what has to happen, not how it has to happen. Conlusion: read Greek tragedies pro-Bush people and stop talking s****.
