But the whole Chosen One thingy is about him destroying the Sith and bringing balance to the force. If he didn’t actually kill the last Sith, that makes the whole thing seem really stupid. I know some people didn’t like the prophecy, but that doesn’t mean you can just ignore it and pretend it never happened.
Tell that to the guy who brought him back.
At least with him being a clone, you can justify that he technically died, but just came back a shell of his former self. Palpatine surviving Anakin’s sacrifice pretty much renders the entire George Lucas saga pointless.
A prophecy that may have been fulfilled at the end of ROTS with an equal amount of Jedi and Sith.
A prophecy that Anakin spends not a single line of dialogue in the films acknowledging exists.
A prophecy that could just as well have referred to Anakin’s inner struggle.
A prophecy that misread, may have been.
