Star Wars: The Art of Rise of Skywalker

Rey Skywalker fulfilled the Chosen One prophecy in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, says the film's production designer Rick Carter. The prophecy about a Skywalker being the Chosen One and destined to bring balance to the Force was set up way back in The Phantom Menace.

George Lucas himself said the prophecy was about Anakin but he just needed some help from Luke. Long before Disney even considered that they could own Star Wars.

So no.

Fortunately, it isn't actually in the movie itself, so it doesn't matter. Unlike the prophecy in The Phantom Menace, which is in the movies, and is also really stupid.

Not to mention the Mortis arc in the Clone Wars also confirmed Anakins Chosen One status.

They can say it all they want.

Fans won't accept it.

If they had... Made a plan and made actual decent movies with engaging characters and dialogue then maybe the fans would accept it.

But after the shit we got? Didney is better off acting like the entire Sequel Trilogy never even fucking happened

Palpatine was the Chosen One. He brought "balance" to the force. Balance = 1:1
Ten bazillion Jedi and two Sith =/= balance

Old dude wiped the Jedi and evened it out

That is true

And I will take anything Dave Filoni is involved with as the highest form of canon

Disney thought they could just ride the Star Wars name to the bank. They didnt think that they needed to have a plan for the trilogy.

The sequal trilogy jumped the shark as soon and they started advertising it as the skywalker saga. Which made no damn sense at all when the MC was meant to be a complete nobody unaffiliated with the Skywalker's, story, and the conflict at hand.

This. Little did they know that they would also be inheriting the most fickle bunch of nerds in all of fandom, lol.

George Lucas has to be smirking pretty hard about this one.

But they could have made much more. Solo is the first Star Wars to not turn a profit. The toys arent selling either. People werent going to Galaxys Edge like they hoped.

Anakin's voice literally says "Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did" in TROS.

Bring back the balance, i.e., Anakin brought balance, thereby fulfilling the prophecy.

The fact that you think this is the problem shows your ignorance.

Also I am a black man myself so your claim of getting upset with minorities is lost on me.

The problem is that Anakin didnt kill Palpatine and balance the Force.
