I haven't read through the whole thread, and I don't meant to hijack it, but I've been toying with a theory regarding the prophecy mentioned in the prequels. Is it possible, as Yoda said, the prophecy was misread and doesn't refer to Anakin? Perhaps the prophecy actually refers to Rey?

Darth Vader's death did not bring balance to the Force. There are still Sith in the galaxy and, ultimately, his death does nothing to fulfill the terms set forth by the prophecy. This also means Luke (at least at the present moment) can't be the person whom the prophecy referred to either because he likewise didn't bring balance to the Force.

Now all eyes fall on Rey and she is a worthy candidate for this prophecy. She seems to be far more powerful than any untrained Jedi we have run across thus far. Before even being trained by a Jedi Master, she had learned how to use the Force to influence the weak minded, she learned how to use the Force to pull objects toward her, and she held her own in a lightsaber duel. Her raw talents are far beyond what Luke and Anakin's were when we first met them. And finally....the Force called to her instead of it being the other way around. Before we met Rey, every other Force user had to find the Force for themselves. Not so with her. The Force actually guided her to it. She has to be special. She may even be the "chosen one" the prophecy spoke of.

Eh, Lucas has confirmed Anakin was the chosen one. His children are his redemption and allow him to fulfill the prophecy. If these movies try and make Rey the chosen one, I'll probably leave.

Again, I'm pretty sure Lucas' intent for the prophecy was that Anakin would end the galactic reign of the dark side of the force (maybe not eliminating the dark side, but eliminating it's galactic grip). Everything that happens after ROTJ is now running outside of Lucas's vision. So it is possible that the new showrunners could change Lucas' vision, but I would be surprised if they did.
