I heard a rumor that an early draft of Ep II had Shmi admitting to Anakin that he had a father, and she lied about that whole created by the Force bit.

well he did turn out good, in the end..
but the birth of Anakin led to the birth of Leia and Luke and led to the new order created at the end of p6.. presumably, from there, either Luke or Leia's children or Luke or Leia themselves would supposedly serve to bring balance to the Force. So basically the Force caused a whole deal of bad stuff to happen in order to have the final balancing result.

I think we may be overlooking something though...what if Anakin isn't the Chosen One? The Jedi think that he is. They're basing that on his Midichlorian count. But what if the Chosen One is actually Luke?
Just a thought...but the Jedi aren't always right...and they don't really understand this prophecy of theirs...

Luke Skywalker is a bridge. He is the last of the old Jedi, having been taught by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda; he is also the first of the new Jedi, those that he trains. Being the only Jedi for a time means that there is balance -- no contention, only Luke. But who brings about that state of affairs? I'd say Anakin, spurred on by Luke to desert the Vader persona and the Dark Side, killing the Emperor. The removal of Palpatine costs Anakin his life, thus bringing the Jedi to one singular, balanced point -- the Force is in balance.

My theory is that Anakin is the chosen one because he is the only one powerful enough to defeat Darth Sidious.
Yoda talks about the "Dark side clouding everything" Anakin by becoming Darth Vader then later reverting back to the light side and killing Sidious in effect leaves the Sith Order with no one to carry it on.

Or, maybe, there is no "balance of the force!" After all, it's just a prophecy -- even Yoda & Co. aren't sure if this is what's going on, they just see all those medi-chlorean-thingymuhbobbers and decide "oooooh, aaaaah, mechuma-mechuma!"

If the force needs to be balanced, what happens after RoTJ? In the real "Star Wars" and not any of the silly EU. You've only got Luke and Leia. But there aren't any Sith.

Leia goes evil, and tries to get nominated to Chancellor of the New Republic, but she's really scheming to sieze control because she's Adolf Hitler's daughter and she's got his head frozen in ice after her mommy escaped the Soviets in a secret time machine that transported her a "long time ago," to "a galaxy far, far, away ..."

Isn't Anakin already bringing balance to the Force? For thousands of years, the light side has been much much much more powerful than the dark side. Anakin is going to help bring the dark side back up to speed. Hence, balance.

Well, there have always been lots o' Jedi and only 2 Sith... "Only two there are, a master and an apprentice". (The Sith killed each other until there were two).
I don't know if the 'balance' has anything to do with "Good v Evil" Force users.
Clearly before they met Annakin, there was "an imbalance", and after luke kills Palpatine he restores the balance... presumably.
So maybe it's Palpatine who is the 'unbalancing force' - 'scuse the pun.
And I always had an inkling that maybe Qui-Gon was Annakin's father... the way that Shmi was looking at him and him at her a few times there in TPM... I dunno.

Mark Hamill should play some wierd old guy in Episode III who turns out to be Anakin's dad. That would be like all cool.
