Anakin: the chosen one?

Yup, this is very simple.

Anakin did indeed destroy the Sith, restoring Balance, making him the Chosen One.

Any EU which therefore contradicts this afterwards... is simply wrong. Or, more precisely, part of a parallel universe that is not the same one as the films.

Ush with his wisdom saves the day again. What ever Lucas says about Star Wars is true.

Up comes the canon/non-canon argument again to throw down all imagination...

Calm the Hell down, you psycho. Stop talking in all capitals - it's extremely annoying, and makes you appear even more stupid than you do now.

Anyway, the prophecy was that the chosen one would bring balance to the Force and destroy the Sith - which he did.

The prophecy never said the Sith would never ever return, or that Anakin would rid the galaxy of all evil, or that nothing bad would ever happen ever again, or any of that. It just said that, for at least some period of time, there would be no Sith, which was true.

You're trying to read way too deep into things, which isn't smart especially when you're not smart yourself, and are just nitpicking anyway.

i feel so loved. that means that boss is the chosen one also. he killed the last of the sith, exar (his spirit anyway). he counts as one of the chosen ones right. he count for all the categories right? high mediclorian count and he destroyed the sith.

But he didn't destroy all the Sith, he didn't bring balance to the Force. Someone lived on, one of Exar's apprentices, a sith, to continue spreading the rules and teachings of the Sith.

And you call me stupid. look there was a book or a comic (forgot which) where exar's spirit is awakened by Luke skywalker. Exar influences kyp and controls him ( gives him power etc) then exar's spirit is surronded and he knows he will die. vodo's spirit comes along and says "hey he is my kill" end of sith. this was post ROTJ

Who's that? Exar apprentice.

Okay, two sith at a time, that being Darth Sidious and Darth Vader.
Vader comes back as Anakin, essentially killing Vader.
Anakin picks up Sidious, and throws him down the pit, and Sidious dies, no doubt about that.
Both sith are dead, that means all the sith are dead forever.
So, Anakin killed them, meaning he is the chosen one.

Also, if you don't agree with me, theres no hope for you because George Lucas himself says Anakin is the chosen one.

Then sidious had a clone and came back. what do you know. a sith. then sidious dies again and is reborn and dies again and has no more clones. Then Exar Kun (a sith again) comes back and there is another sith. All anakin did was destroy the sith for 6 years, not 1000.

Hmm, well I don't know what to say to that.

Oh wait, George Lucas said Anakin was the chosen one.
So just stop arguing it because you won't win against George Lucas' word, so just stop.

Look Lucas SAID Anakin is the Chosen ONE. Anakin destroyed the Sith and I can't believe that YOU can't understand that. Anakin returned balance to the force.

for 6 years. yes lucas said it so it has to be true but i am trying to show you people the stupitity of his words. If Anakin is the chosen one then how come he didn't destroy the sith for 1000 years like the prophecy stated?

FFS...

George Lucas did not write anything that came before or after his movies. He did not create the Palpatine clones. He did not create Lumiya. He did not create Exar Kun. He did not create Flint.

And the prophecy didn't state anything, seeing as there was no prophecy written out for the fans. All we know is that the Chosen One would destroy the Sith. In the movies, Anakin did just that. Vader and Sidious were the last of their kind, and they died. In EU, they completely shit all over GL's movies.

Rex those last few words where more or less what i was implying. So now that someone you all trust and adore (myself included 😉 )has said that do you all agree with my point. that anakin, in the eu, is not the chosen one.

Er, that wasn't my point, really. My point was that EU just shits all over GL's word and movies. Anakin is the Chosen One regardless.

Unless you want to think that Han Solo is the Chosen One.

yea that in the movies he is definitely the chosen one but in the EU he DOESN'T APPEAR to be.

Um, who said that? Anakin is the Chosen One regardless of whether you are watching the movies or reading the books. There's no 'Oh, look, a Palpatine clone, Vader didn't do anything!' switch. If Lucas says he's the Chosen One, he's the Chosen One in EVERYTHING.

The EU still takes shits on Georgie boy anyway, and makes not only Vader's redemption seem meaningless in that Sidious returns to take power but fails, but Luke turns to the Dark Side.

It's just stupid.

Anyways, might as well make Han Solo the Chosen One. Solo shot Palpatine. No wait, Empatajayos Brand would be the Chosen One. He took Palpatine's soul with him when he died.

No, it doesn't work like that. Anakin is the Chosen One.

No, DA, we alreeady said... the EU is simply incorrect here. The EU is often at great risk of being totally overwiritten by the films- Boba Fett's origins being a case in point.

So all that stuff about the Emperor returning... that's all bull. Pretend it never happened.

i think its a question on the definition of "the Sith".

We all know that the Sith consists of 2, and only 2, individuals. The Master, and the Apprentice. Yes it is possible that there could be Siths out there, even after Episode VI, but i think the Sith in question here is the Sith that had the power or potential to control the Galaxy (meaning they're an imminent threat to stability and order).

Hence when Yoda said, "Destroy the Sith, we must", he was refering to Sidious and Anakin, both of whom made up the Sith. That's why he went to find sidious and sent obi-wan to kill anakin.

Vader "destroyed the Sith" by of course killing the Emperor (Master)..and during the course himself as well (Apprentice). He indeed destroyed that particular Sith order (Sidious and Vader)..and the Chosen One to do so, right from the beginning.

It was possible the Prophecy was foretold when Sidious and his master was gathering strengh, cos arguably the prequel trilogy gave the small impression that Plaguies (Sidious's master) might haf created Anakin..for he could "influence the midichlorians to create life". The Prophecy was brought about for the Chosen One would destroy this very Sith, a great threat of cos, since it destroyed the Old Republic.

If the Sith re-emerges after Episode VI, it is beyond Anakin's destiny to destroy it..for he had already fulfilled his prophecy.
