A few words of wisdom: My take is that Anaken is the chosen one because: 1. GL says so and he is the master of the star wars universe
2. He did bring balance to the force, even though he really "f***ed it up along the way by killing the younglings and what not. The way I see it, as long as a sith or two is crawling around, it doesn't matter if there are a million clouded-minded jedi sitting in the temple. You gotta get rid of the sith to bring balance. So by giving Sid "the shaft" and getting himself shocked into oblivion, the numbskull managed to do just that. Otherwise there would have always been a sith or three out a few planets away doing whatever it is that sith do, keeping the dark-side alive and well, screwing up the balance. Since the jedi are clouded to their presence, the only possible way for the sh** to hit the fan is for a jacka** sith to manage to kill not only his master, but himself in the process.
Anaken was the only big enough buffoon to pull off this one-in-a-million act and thus bring balance to the force (and disgrace to himself).
We salute you, bastard child of shmi!!
He's out in the desert working on condensers all day.
Besides, I never said Luke had a bad childhood, but he looked more troubled about his life with Owen and Beru than Anakin with Shmi and his podracer. Plus he had a lot to deal wiht: didn't mnow his parents, finds out he's been lied to all his life and sees his uncle and aunt turned to charcoil. That's a lot to take in.
Anakin goes about fixing things, building his own droid, flying podraces for Watto, building his own podracer, has a loving mother, leaves her to follow his dream to become a Jedi... oh yes, and he is a slave...duh...
And yet, Anakin turns into an rrogant brat and Luke finds a way from not turning to the Dark Side. We even see him mature in 6 or so years.
He knew his parents, he lived with them...those are his parents, they looked after him, loved him, cared for him, fed him...parents. He didn't know his birth parents, thats not too bad.
He didn't find out he was lied to until ESB though, so that can almost be discarded for now.
Alright, that one I can give you now...he saw his burnt aunt and uncle...
That is how he deals with his situation of being a slave and is probably why he isn't killed or constantly sold...he fixes things well. And Watto barely let Anakin fly in the podrace in Ep 1, so who knows when his last one was or even how many. Anakin had a loving mother...Luke had a loving mother and father...going in circles with that one...
OK, but Anakin and Luke are two very different ages when we are comparing them...Luke was more mature when he went to become a Jedi.
But Anakin was matured in the Jedi world... and now farmboy whining Luke is more mature than Anakin at that age????? Come on.
Luke found out he was lied to about his father in ANH. OB1 told him Anakin was a Jedi and a great starpilot. Did you ever SEE ANH at all????
And if you think it doesn't matter if you didn't know your birthparents, then you are serio0usly mistaken. Adopted children very often want to know where they came from. So did Luke, why else did he keep sking about his father and was he so interested about Anakin?
Older usually (usually) comes along with maturity. He had more experiences.
馃槀 Yes, I did, and he was a great starpilot and Jedi, his father was Anakin...not Darth Vader...that is how they considered it.
Yes, it would interest people to know their birth parents, but my bastard father did not care too much of his real parents, mind you...he found them...but did not bother him too much on not knowing.

Where is your counter argument??? I don't see it. I see you succumbing to my great and wonderful arguments. Bet you went to watch ANh for the first time.

This couldn't even be countered, it was just a general statement. But I commented on it anyways. Yes, it would interest people to know their birth parents, but my bastard father did not care too much of his real parents, mind you...he found them...but did not bother him too much on not knowing.
So...yeah, everything in your post was countered...fail!
And then came this post from me:
