Why the Sith's Version of the 'Chosen One' Prophecy was so Confusing

Palpatine: "How the hell am I supposed to figure this prophecy out!? Screw it, I'll just recruit the Jedi's Chosen One and just say mission accomplished."

Last I was this early Palpatine and Plageuis hadn't yet pissed off the Force so much it literally made a kid to kill them

The Sith Prophecy is basically “ARE YOU THE BADDEST DUDE OUT OF EVERYONE??”

Turns out, the Sith’ari was the friends we made along the way.

It's funny, in a sense the Sith's Chosen One paved the way for the Jedi's Chosen One

Sith's chosen one : l hate snow! Jedi's chosen one : l hate sand!

I was always under the impression the Chosen One from the Sith is the final Sith Lord, after all these years of accumulated knowledge the stronger apprentice slays the weaker master, when every apprentice is unable to slain the one master, that is the true Sith Lord.

“To say that the Force works in mysterious ways is to admit one’s ignorance, for any mystery can be solved through the application of knowledge and unrelenting effort.”

You know I'm starting to think the Sith just take whatever the Jedi are doing, change it just enough to sound sufficiently evil and then just call it a day.

I have to say i really like darth banes approach to the sith code, he achieves freedom through the force while the other sith lords shakle themselves because they are blinded by their ambitions

7:28 Mentions Darth Bane, shows Darth Malgus

At last after all these years the sith finally have their revenge thanks to the chosen one

I mean, it definitely makes more sense than Disney trying to explain how Rey is the chosen one.

Last time I pulled up this early the Rakatans were still ruling the galaxy

It would have been interesting to see how things would be different had Bane's essence transfer attempt succeeded in his fight with Zannah.

I like the joke that every single Sith Lord in history is convinced that they are the Sith'ari. The hubris and the arrogance, and now I have an excuse to write a Sith who is convinced that she is the Sith'ari. On a more serious note, ever notice that the two prophecies don't contradict each other?

What if the "Sith'ari" and the jedi "chosen one" are the same prophecy, but after thousands of years of mistranslation and bias it became 2 prophecies? Each to reflect light and dark? I've read the darth bane trilogy and while I enjoyed the books greatly (read them all at least 3 times) I never thought of Bane as the Sith'ari

I always thought that Anakin was the Chosen one of the force, not necessarily the light or the dark. He helped destroy the Jedi and then, with the help of his son, destroyed the Sith which freed the force of all the old traditions and allowed Luke Skywalker to become the true instrument of the force.

The chosen one, was to destroy both the sith and jedi, but they thought only one would be destroyed, as we saw with anakin.

In my opinion Darth Bane does seem to fit the criteria for the chosen one of the Sith best. But I also think this prophecy is intended (not just by writing, but also in the Star Wars universe) to be easily applied on sithlords. The Sith are eager for power. Most of the Sith seeing themselves as a chosen one just fits the way they act and its benefits them. If you want to be someone who can be "the chosen one" you need to become quite powerful, what means many Sith craved even more for power. All of this can create powerful Lords who represent the force of the dark side. In some way it's like an horoscope, easy to be construed in many ways to appeal to as many people as possible.
