does anyone know what the prophecy says
do u think well find out
or will be left just guessing

I don't think it's going to be totally spelled out for us. We might get a bit more information when Obi-Wan talks to Jocasta though.

I think this is one of the things we will not be told, well maybe briefly as Dim said but i dont think GL will answer ALL of our questions so we will still be left guessing about a few things after Ep3.

Here is what I think -
The Dark Side of the force created Palpatine. It somehow manifested itself into a human being.
So. the midi-chlorians created Anakin who if trained properly would bring balance because he would become as powerfull with the force as Palpatine.
But, Anakin chose the quick and easy path and turned to the Dark side and only brought balance at the end of ROTJ when he killed Palpy.

But I can't see this happening.

Cool!
And by being killed in the end of the movie, he DID bring balance to the Force.
I just thought of something:
You have SelectPic that shows OB1 whitout the Lightning that will be added in postproduction. I think that Annakin watch him and does nothing, but OB1 can escape. This brings us to ROTJ where he sees Luke getting the same treatment and you think 'oh now! he let's his son get killed!!' and at the last moment he saves Luke

It would not have been the being killed that brought balance, but the destrcution of Palpatine, as GL said.

BTW, we have no reason to think that lightning is invovled in Ep. II at any point.

There is a Selec Pic with OB1 laying down on the floor like he is in pain, lightning is always added in post-production like with ROTJ, so it seems that it will be that. I haven't read the scripts of EPII because it must be a surprise to me, so it was just FanFiction that I wrote that would be very cool for me if it happened.

I think that pic is of Obi-Wan after or during his fight with Jango. That would explain why he is soaking wet.

Darn! I didn't even noticed that he was wet!!!

so for the prophecy to exist someone must have wrote it

so who wrote it and where did they get it from


some kind of star wars god

A Jawa????? No, it must have been a Jedi who foresaw it.

ive got a feeling we will never be told where the prophecy comes from, it just is. Its the same with DUNE isnt it??

No, because the Dune Prophecy was engineered by the Bene
Gesserit.

We really don't know if this will be expanded upon or not. COuld have been the Midi-Chlorians gave it to the Jedi aeons ago.

Midi's are not conscious. They do not create Chosen Ones or create balance.

The prophecy is just a legend, and the Jedi don't even know if it will ever come true. I don't think Anakin was created by the midichlorians. I would thin kit would be cool if Palpy was somehow his father. weird...

....think it..... sorry

no no no, it better not be palpatine, i believe the sw's universe is already to closely intertwined with coincidences and interlinked history without palpatine being anakins father, if it was palpatine wouldn't he have referred to vader as his son rather than my friend. also if he was palpatines son, why would palpatine have let shmi take him to tatooine,

I think you are right. I see no need to deviate now from the MCs story, anyway.

I see a great need to deviate from the MC's story, but not in that direction.

if he does have a father it is surely to late to introduce such an important character into the series now. would rotj not have been a more appropriate time or obviously tpm. i doubt we will ever truly know, i guess it was to hard to invent such a powerful character so lucas took the easy immaculate conception route.

Unless he was a nobody so it wouldn't have mattered.

To be honest, I think "the prophecy" is right in front of us.

GL always draws his ideas from the real world. Christianity, Taoism etc. I believe the prophecy will be similar to a legend, myth or belief of somekind that exists in our world. I just can't think of any religion/myth that would echo my personal thoughts of this prophecy except Christianity.

We have had the virgin birth (TPM)-------big gap-------then the death of the "savior"(RotJ) and, like Jesus Christ, little is known about his life inbetween these events.

Of course I am not trying to draw an exact comparison between JC and AS but there is very good analogy from what we know so far.

Could Ben be Judas? (In Anakin's eye)

The analogy works, but mind you. Virgin birth is not unique to Christianity. It happens in several other myths. And then there is the thing that Anakin was kinda bad in between the two events you listed, but that's just nitpicking.

I know who the father of Annakin is: it is Yoda!!
Didn't you noticed that weird look on his face when he saw Annakin?

This is not the first time I have had to make this point.

It is NOT a Virgin birth scenmario.

Anakin's foretold birth by the link to the power that controls the Universe is almost exactly the same as the birth of Greek or Roman heroes with one human parent and one godly one.

This was always a mythological base, not a Christian one.

no yoda always has a weird look on his face

weve been told already that anakin dosnt have a farther
so i dont see why that should change


i still think that ben was lying in anh when he gives luke the lightsabres and tells him it was his farthers and he wanted him to have it

1. the twins were kept secret from anakin so it was a lie that he wanted luke to have it

2. the lightsabre was diffrent from the ones in tpm

i just think it was a spare one or some thing and ben told him his farther wanted him to have it knowing that he would want to follow in his fathers footsteps

We have no particular reason to disbeleive Obi-Wan.

BTW, we still don't know if Anakin knew that Amidala was pregnant.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan was probably not wrong in thinking that if Anakin had a son, and then had subsequently died, he would have wanted his son to have it. Obi-Wan knew Anakin best, after all, and who else would it go to?

Meanwhile, plenty of time for Anakin to get hold of that sabre... I don't know WHAT you mean about it being different from the one in TPM. Why would any sabre in TPM be the one Obi-Wan gave to Luke?

yeah what u talking about darth fester?, anakin didnt have a light saber in tpm.

Adding to Ushgarak's point about "virgin births". Hercules, Alexander the Great and Julios Ceaser all were supposed to have had had one human parent and one godly one, like Anakin.

thats really interesting thanks

Oh there's much more where that came from.
