1 New Star Wars Movie Will Finally Solve The Prequels" Last Anakin Mystery

An upcoming Star Wars movie can finally solve one remaining prequel-era mystery. The Star Wars prequel trilogy introduced the concept of the Chosen One, a prophecy that stated that one person was destined to bring balance to the Force. After meeting Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon Jinn believed Anakin to be the Chosen One, though why exactly he thought that to be true was never fully explained. Of course, Anakin was unusually strong with the Force, and the circumstances of his birth were questionable, at best, but the prequels never included the actual text of the prophecy, leaving everything concerning Anakin’s role open to interpretation.
That all changed when Claudia Gray’s novel Master & Apprentice was published. Master & Apprentice tells the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon’s time on the planet Pijal. Qui-Gon’s interest in prophecies is examined in great detail, but only one of those concerns the Chosen One. The novel reveals the exact text of the prophecy: “A Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored.” This not only makes Qui-Gon’s conviction of Anakin being the Chosen One much more understandable, but the novel also reveals the root of the prophecy – a source that could be further explored in James Mangold’s upcoming Dawn of the Jedi movie.
