Why 4 Major Star Wars Characters Believed Luke Was The Chosen One – Not Anakin

While Anakin Skywalker was prophesized to destroy the Sith and bring balance back to the Force, many Star Wars characters suspected that Luke Skywalker was the Chosen One. This idea was never fully explored in the original Star Wars trilogy, as the prequel trilogy hadn’t been released, but the idea has been touched on across other Star Wars media. Anakin fulfilled the Chosen One prophecy by betraying Emperor Palpatine, but as Obi-Wan Kenobi would say, Luke being the Chosen One makes sense “from a certain point of view.”
