And not only did the Jedi believe Anakin was the Chosen One, but they also had no problem being open with this idea. Even in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, after Anakin gets denied Jedi training, Qui-Gon says, "He is the Chosen One, you must see it," right in front of the young boy.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, during his confrontation with Vader on Mustafar, stated that he believed Anakin was indeed the Chosen One, but that his destiny had been altered, and the prophecy left unfulfilled. Anakin fulfills the prophecy by killing Palpatine. Skywalker's sacrifice brings balance and redemption.
Anakin fulfilled all the requirements of the Chosen One, because his creator wrote him to fulfill the prophecy of the Chosen One. He wrote him to fulfill the Will of the Force, which said only that he would be born when the Force was out of balance to correct it.
At first, Yoda was skeptical. He had to trust that Anakin would choose the right path. The light side. As time went on through the Clone War, there wasn't time to think as battle occurred so often, but Anakin proved to be a hero.
Palpatine. It was Palpatine that led Anakin Skywalker to the dark side and gave him the Darth Vader name. The Emperor always knew the truth, and he seems to have been the one who decided it should remain a closely guarded secret.
Padmé was well aware that Anakin had committed dark crimes that would've started his fall to the dark side.
Reva knows that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader because she was one of his targets—a child—during the Order 66 killings that took place during the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Though there was some debate among the fans that Anakin Skywalker's son, Luke Skywalker, was actually the Chosen One since he caused his father to destroy Darth Sidious, the debate was settled when George Lucas himself confirmed in an interview that Anakin, even after becoming Darth Vader, was still officially the ...
This upcoming new Star Wars book reveals that Yoda always thought Leia was the more powerful force user in the Skywalker family. And that she was the true chosen one who would bring balance to the force.
So, which competitor claimed the top spot for the most powerful Jedi of all time? Drumroll please... Move aside, Anakin Skywalker. Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience.
Midi-chlorian counts were linked to potential in the Force, ranging from normal Human levels of 2,500 per cell to the much higher levels of Jedi. The highest known midi-chlorian count—over 20,000 per cell—belonged to the Jedi Anakin Skywalker, who was believed to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians.
Obi-Wan knew Anakin through and through and understood his overconfidence and arrogance. He knew Anakin would fight with rage and aggression, while he remained cool and calculated. Pairing his understanding of Anakin with his knowledge of Soresu ultimately gave him the upper hand in the battle.
He wasn't even eligible. In order to be granted the rank of master, a Jedi Knight must first train their own. Padawan to knighthood. When their Padawan became a Knight, they would then be able to attain the rank.
Obi Wan, much like the rest of his order are aware that Anakin is the chosen one. His seemingly limitless potential and prowess during the Clone Wars shows this. Obi Wan told Maul a 'white lie'. He knows Luke isn't the chosen one, simply the 'best available' to destroy the Sith.
Qui-Gon got to know Anakin and his mother, Shmi. He discovered that Anakin had no father and had the highest midi-chlorian count ever recorded. This convinced Qui-Gon that Anakin was the Chosen One.
In the opera scene, he talks about how Darth Plagueis could manipulate the midichlorians to produce life, insinuating that the sith lords created Anakin. Clearly by this point Palpatine is well aware that Anakin is the chosen one. In TPM, Anakin is a slave on a backwater planet.
However, Leia's strong-mindedness during Vader's probe denied him the opportunity to discover she was his daughter. That serves to justify Vader's lack of awareness of his connection to Leia, although, perhaps, not as satisfyingly as if Lucas had planned for the relationship from the beginning.
She was too well known for a start. The daughter {highly unlikely it was common knowledge she was actually adopted} of Bail Organa, a Princess of Alderaan and a Republic Ambassador. Pretty difficult for Obi Wan and Yoda to train her as a Jedi without it getting out.
Darth Vader didn't learn he had a daughter until Return of the Jedi, when he stood before Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's power probed Luke's mind, attempting to goad him to fall to the dark side, and he discovered Leia's existence. "Sister," the Emperor taunted.
He is also an incredibly deadly swordsman and a calculating Sith Lord. Even with all of these qualities, Vader is still not as strong as he was before falling to the Dark Side, when he was still Anakin Skywalker. During the Clone Wars, Anakin was a daring and heroic Jedi Knight in his younger years.
Prior to his defeat on Mustafar, Anakin Skywalker was the single most powerful Force user in the known galaxy. In a direct brute Force contest, Anakin Skywalker would sweep the floor with anyone. The ability to use the Force is a powerful edge against any foe, but it isn't everything.
He knew almost all forms of lightsaber combat, which most of it was seen when he was a Jedi Knight (Anakin Skywalker). Rey is not more powerful than Anakin. Anakin is the Chosen One which means Anakin could surpass Palpatine and Rey has Palpatine's power. Anakin is clearly more powerful.
The Third Sister was at the Jedi Temple during Order 66. She either saw Anakin kill her fellow Jedi or saw the recording of his crimes. That's why she has such hatred for Obi-Wan. She was a Padawan who escaped Order 66.
Seething with ambition, Reva hunts down Jedi survivors of Order 66 as an Inquisitor. She wears the sleek armor of the secret order, and brandishes a unique lightsaber that can split in two to maximize her lethality.
This is not because the Third Sister knows that Leia is Anakin Skywalker's child; it is because the Third Sister found a link between Obi-Wan and Bail Organa and she believed Obi-Wan would do anything to save Bail's daughter.
