If Anakin was supposed to be the prophesied one to restore order and balance to the force, then after the disappointment, why did Yoda say, "No. there is another"?
But Yoda himself opined that the prophecy "misread, may have been." Frankly, his in-universe, limited perspective isn't going to help too much.

Ok. so you are saying that Anakin was a supernatural experiment of the force, right? Well, what does that make his mother? What role does she play and how did she get into this???
Maybe his mother was like a surrogate, or maybe they used her actual DNA?
There are so many great theories here. I love how Star Wars makes you think.
My OPINION based on what I have seen in the movies is that Darth Plagueis indeed created Anakin. In manipulating midi-chlorians to create life, you don't really have your "hands" in the mother's womb. Like any other symbiont being once a host is found it stays. So, once the the manipulation was complete all you need is a host. Anyone woman at this point would do; who better than an unsuspecting slave.
Now on to the prophecy. (again my OPINION) Sounds a bit a though the prophecy was misread as Master Yoda suggested. Think of a math equation. To balance an equation what is on one side must also be on the other. I did a little research and according to other Star Wars novels there was a time when there were more than 2 Sith. This didn't occur until Darth Bane arrived. Therefore, 2 Sith on the dark side and hundreds of Jedi on the light side is unbalanced. After Anakin turned to the dark side, order 66 was executed, and Darth Vader hunted down the surviving Jedi; the force WAS balanced.
Darth Sidious + Darth Vader = Master Yoda + Master Kenobi (2=2) simple math.
I would certainly love to hear anyone's thoughts on the matter.

Dude. There can only be 2 Sith.Maul was Palpatine's apprentice since infancy. Let's say 4 years old.
Which means Plagueis was last alive 18 years before TPM. Let's say he creates Anakin right before he died.
Anakin was born 10 years before TPM.
It doesn't work, unless he spent some 8 years in his momma's tummy.
Ok, i dont know if anyone here has read the Darth Plagueis novel, but i have.

this is all true, except that plagues didnt care much for the rule of two

In the novel it doesnt mention Plagueis creating Anakin, so not sure if he did or not, but i would think they would mention it if he did. But what is for sure is that Palpatine didnt know about Anakin until after Qui Gon Jinn found him.
As for the prophecy, i totally agree with you, i have always thought that anakin was really the one to bring balance to the force by killing most of the jedi, although kenobi and yoda are the only 2 yedi we know for sure that ended up being alive, but there could have been more out there, but it can still be balanced even if its not the same amount of jedi and sith IMO
i personally think it was darth maul who was anakins father i no alot of people would disagree but if u watch the first and third darth maul was a jedi before he became a sith and he was well trained like anakin anakins father was unknown and he was gone his whole life and his mom didnt wanna say what happened because he turned to the dark side but the reason wouldnt be known if you ever played force unleashed darth maul is metioned as his passed apprentice and you play his training ground
