The Jedi thought that the Sith ended with Darth Bane, but in reality the Sith just went into hiding (using the rule of two) while they tried to figure out a way to defeat the Jedi, and gain control of the galaxy. They were never eliminated, they just weren't "seen" by the Jedi.



Thank you for reinforcing my point. Darth Vader didn't defeat the Dark Side or the Sith anymore than the Jedi did a thousand years before the events of The Phantom Menace. Therefore how can Vader be the subject of the prophecy?

Because it wasn't a well thought out prophecy

He defeated the Sith. There were no more. I mean at this point you are just arguing with what Lucas actually said. The Prophecy was about Anakin.


Now, you can argue that Luke is responsible for unbalancing it. Maybe that is why he went into hiding? He realized he had undone everything they had worked so hard to do?

I have two completely different theories on how your point could be flawed.

The first is that the force was supposedly "in balance" up to the point to when Sidious set the wheels of his plan in motion. So the Sith being around isn't what puts the force out of balance, but rather the dark side gaining control of the galaxy.

The second theory is that the Sith are truly no longer around. Keep in mind that Ben Solo took on a totally different moniker (Ren) than the Sith did (Darth). For all we know the Sith may truly be destroyed, and Snoke and the Knights of Ren are just dark side users, and not Sith.

Again, those are two totally different theories on my part, because we truly don't know as of this point in the new trilogy what is actually going on. But I would be shocked if the prophecy wasn't fulfilled by Anakin.
