Summary
- Obi-Wan Kenobi believed Luke was the Chosen One, viewing him as the galaxy's last hope to bring balance to the Force and fulfill the prophecy.
- Maul, despite being Obi-Wan's enemy, also believed in Luke's status as the Chosen One, dying with the belief that Luke would avenge them in the future.
- Yoda may have looked to Luke as the Chosen One, believing that the prophecy could have been misread and considering Leia a potential candidate.
While Anakin Skywalker was prophesized to destroy the Sith and bring balance back to the Force, many Star Wars characters suspected that Luke Skywalker was the Chosen One. This idea was never fully explored in the original Star Wars trilogy, as the prequel trilogy hadn't been released, but the idea has been touched on across other Star Wars media. Anakin fulfilled the Chosen One prophecy by betraying Emperor Palpatine, but as Obi-Wan Kenobi would say, Luke being the Chosen One makes sense "from a certain point of view."
George Lucas' Star Wars saga was about the fall and eventual redemption of Darth Vader, but the Dark Lord of the Sith did terrible things along the way. He betrayed the Jedi Order and helped Palpatine overthrow the Republic to create the Empire, made more shocking by his supposed destiny as the Chosen One. This caused several individuals who crossed paths with Luke to view him as the Chosen One instead, each doing so for different reasons.
