Star Wars Confirmed Darth Vader is the Chosen One in an Unexpected Way
As fans learn from watching the third installment of Star Wars’ prequel trilogy, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker was believed to be the Chosen One–someone who would eradicate the Sith from the galaxy and bring balance to the Force–but instead, he became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Skywalker failed to live up to the prophecy and proved that he wasn’t actually the Jedi’s Chosen One after all. However, in an entirely different story Star Wars seemingly confirms that Darth Vader actually is a Chosen One in a completely unexpected way.
In Star Wars’ original trilogy, it is revealed that Anakin Skywalker’s son, Luke Skywalker, is the the true Chosen One of the galaxy. He is the only person who is strong enough in the Force to take down the Empire and, by association, the Sith, as well as being the only one who could restore the Jedi Order to its former glory. Luke was able to succeed where Anakin so miserably failed, and thereby took his place in history as the galaxy’s savior. However, in a Star Wars Legends story, it is revealed that Darth Vader’s true destiny wasn’t for the benefit of the Jedi or the Sith, but for a much more chaotic cosmic purpose.
