Well first, the iirc, the prophecy never said how permanent said balance would be. It never said it would eliminate the dark side. That is impossible. As long as there is light, there will be darkness. Secondly, he made those statements when an episode VII book had been written, so it still applies. As far as the first 6 movies are concerned, Anakin was the chosen one. Which is why if these movies try and change that, I'll probably walk out.

Well at the time Qui-Gon revealed his thoughts on Anakin to the Jedi Council, the Sith had supposedly been extinct for a thousand years. The Dark Side was just beginning to rear its head again at that point. So I would imagine the Jedi must have believed the balance would be quite permanent, otherwise they wouldn't have been as intrigued by the news as they were.

If Rey was abandoned on the planet of Jakku at the age of 5-8 and her abandonment was a direct result of the destruction of Luke's Jedi order by the Dark Side, then that would mean the balance Vader provided at the end of Return of the Jedi lasted no more than 16-19 years after the fall of the Empire. That's 981-984 fewer years of peace then the time between the first fall of the Sith and the events of Phantom Menace.

What a wasted prophecy if that's the case.
