Chosen One vs. Sith'ari
Some time ago I watched a video on Youtube where Anakin was called the Sith'ari. He is not. However, it did get me thinking about the Chosen One vs. Sith'ari thing, and I noticed something.

Sith'ari
Prophecy fulfilled by: Darth Bane
Those who have read Darth Bane: Path of Destruction know that Darth Bane is the Sith'ari. There were two parts to the Sith'ari prophecy.
1.) Darth Bane was an extremely powerful Sith.
2.) He destroyed the Sith Order, which would come back even stronger (stealthier, would eventually rule the galaxy for 2 1/2 decades).

However, notice this:

Chosen One
Prophecy fulfilled by: Anakin Skywalker
As we know, the prophecy was that Anakin would destroy the Sith and bring balence to the Force. But, there are two other things:
1.) Anakin was an extremely powerful Jedi
2.) He destroyed the Jedi Order, which would return even stronger (in this case, more flexible).

I also know that Jacen Solo did not believe that the light and dark sides of the Force were complete opposites. He thought that they were merely different philosiphies. If there was something to prove that, this would be it. It's interesting how total enemies have a major thing in common, isn't it?

And even Palpatine told Anakin at the opera that the Jedi and Sith were not that different. They both have the same goals ... to hold on to the power they have. It's always been the same struggle.

The Light and the Dark are part of the same spectrum, two sides of one coin. One doesn't exist without the other.

I noticed that parallel after reading Darth Bane. Good book, BTW. Both side had a similarity in common, though each side called it something different. It's interesting how common threads can be found in different thinking.

Interesting point! I never thought of that.

And it took me a little while to figure that out. Am I just slow?

Good Point! i always thought this was true, cause Jaina and Mara both used what was "the Dark Side Powers" but neither fell to the dark side, though jaina was dark and vengful for a while. i think its all about your view on it. but i do think anakin could take Bane no sweat while he was dark, he does know everything about jedi and sith.
