Chosen One

"You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this&hellip;boy?"

- Mace Windu

The prophecy of the Chosen One was a Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a being who would bring balance to the Force. Some Jedi, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, also referred to the prophecy as predicting the Chosen One would destroy the Sith. Yoda cautioned at one point that the prophecy might have been misinterpreted.

In the decades before the Clone Wars, the Chosen One was believed to be born in the form of Anakin Skywalker, and said to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians.

=Behind the Scenes= Though there has been a considerable amount of controversy as to whether Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, was actually the Chosen One since he caused his father to destroy the emperor, the debate was settled when George Lucas himself confirmed in an interview that Anakin, even after becoming Darth Vader, was still officially the Chosen One and not Luke.
