Anakin and the prophesy of the chosen one and TFA kylo ren

I would also think the fact that they considered Hayden making an appearance in TFA, and still might in Episode 8 is pretty telling as well.

That was only a suggestion by one of the production designers, Iain McCaig in the very early designing process, when they were just exploring possibilities from a design point of view. McCaig did two design concepts in that direction. As far as we know this was never seriously considered for the script.

Get your facts straight!

Inb4 Anakin in Episode 8. 😱

Inb4?

Goddamn Lucas and his retarded ass prophecy bullshit. Fans have been scrutinizing and analyzing it a helluva lot longer than Lucas took to think of it. It was a shitty plot element that lead nowhere and meant nothing except in George's simplistic mind.

How does bringing balance to the force mean forever and ever ?

Does Snoke seem like someone less than 30 years old to you? Because if he was disbalancing the force at the time, Anakin never fulfilled the prophecy to begin with.

Unless he wasn't unbalancing the Force at the time. Dark siders merely existing does not unbalance the Force as seen with both the Son and the Nightsisters.

Sure, but if he started to unbalance it say, five years after the death of Palpatine, you can make an argument for the prophecy still being major bs.

Which it is.

thats why i started the thread.

Who knows, in Disney Canon they might alter Lucas's vision of the Prophecy. It could be the whole Skywalker line who are the "Chosen Ones."

Remember the line:"The Prophecy misread may have been," in ROTS gives wiggle room for that.

That was such a weird storyline.

My impression from TFA is not that the Force is unbalanced but that it is in dangere of becoming so. After all, at this point, the First Order is a menance but not actually in control; there's a whole Republic out there living a (relatively) safe existence (until the FO starts blowing up planets of course).

The point simply is that without the Jedi to defend the Balance, it WILL be lost again.

That's all it needs to be.

Makes sense... I never really got the idea that bringing balance was the crucial challenge of TFA or the entire ST anyway.

It's simply synonymous with the defeat of evil. People look too much into it.

I agree.

It's Star Wars, of course people will look too much into it, that's the point!

Anyways, I'm half hoping for a new movie explained that the prophecy was tampered by Plagueis so it explains any further inconsistencies.

That will maybe apease Plagueis fanboys that want him to be canon into the series 131

But they won't. So the fanboys can speculate all they want.
