Why the Sith `Chosen One' Prophecy is a Massive Mystery (Who is it?) - Star Wars Explained

To this day I still believe it was Anakin/Vader just for the ironic irony of both sides’ chosen one being the same person.

At the end of the day, Bane was the ONLY one who matched ALL the requirements. Every other Sith lord was merely a pretender. Bane was totally free of all restrictions, destroyed the Sith order and made them a thousand times stronger to the point they finally won.

Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one for the Jedi and Darth Vader was the chosen one for the Sith. Anakin fulfilled the prophecy when he regained control over Darth Vader and destroyed the most powerful Sith Lord in history. When Darth Vader took control he destroyed everywhere he went. He helped Palpatine take complete control of the entire galaxy. Anakin and Vader may be the same person physically but both characters are definitely different.

As much as i would like to think it was Sidious just on raw power. I think Bane really was it with all he did it really led to the Sith being reimagine, more powerful, then ruling without resistance for a time. He covered all the bases

I feel like the sith have a theme of rebirth. So it always confused me why people think there is only one Sith'ari. it makes sense that there would be multiple throughout history, destroying and remaking them as they see fit. After all sith titles should be taken not given.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed to be Darth Bane. But personally I think it was Darth Sidious or Tenebrae since I feel they reached the closest to perfection that the Sith desired. I love the idea of the Sith'ari being which ever Sith is strongest to claim the Title for themselves, it is such a Sith way and i'd also add Darth Nox would definitely lay claim to the Sith'ari mantle (mine would).

Could it be because none of the Sith trusted one another? They were in constant conflict for dominion. So if one of them had a true vision of the Sith'ari, why would they share such an accurate vision? Darth Sidious believed he was the Sith'ari, because he was the culmination of the Rule of Two. The fact is the Sith'ari and the Jedi Chosen One were one and the same: Anakin and Vader! Anakin was never meant to be Jedi or Sith, he was the Force's Chosen One! Both foresaw him through the lens of their own beliefs!

While I do subscribe to the idea that Darth Bane was the Sith'ari, I feel compelled to mention that he did have limits. The most prominent being his body. As he got older and as his power in the Dark Side grew, his body began to break down, manifesting as and uncontrollable palsy in his hand from time to time. Even he knew that he could not stop this and that his body would only continue to falter as time went on. He did attempt to circumvent this via Essence Transfer, but that ultimately failed to do anything but manifest the Palsy in Zannah. I would rather say that he was free of restrictions, but not of limits.

I believe that studying star wars is the greatest tool available to all on how to live. The star wars universe is in many a Bible for me. You do your job well, stupendous wave. Carry on

Amazing content keep up the amazing work

Maybe the real Sithari was the friends we made along the way.

I think Revan was the chosen one of the Force, not the Sith or Jedi. Bane is the most likely candidate for Sith Chosen One. Sidious had limits, he just didn't believe he had them.

I think Revan WAS the sithari As TSW concludes the title sithari functions more as the values a true sith should uphold in the same way the title of mandalore serves to embody the values of mandalorians. I dont remember if it was TSW or someone in the comment section, but someone had the idea that revans rule of 2 was his master plan to destroy the sith and the jedi. From this perspective, revans rule of two ultimately led to the best ideals of both light and dark to be embodied by luke and his new order. Luke represents the sith and jedi remade.

Awesome vid!

If the Sith'ari was to destroy then resurrect the Sith to be more powerful, I'm of the opinion it was Darth Bane because he destroyed the brotherhood of darkness and resurrected the name Darth. Yet to be free of limits, it doesn't mean he escaped death, but went beyond to preserve the order, I think. Knowing Darth Bane had the orbalisk armor to preserve himself to teach Darth Zannah until she was deemed acceptable to replace him, again, I think that would fulfill the prophecy. This is a hunch knowing the Darth Bane trilogy. Even though there were Darths before Bane, I think of him as the founder of the Rule of Two and how much that was key to the Jedi's downfall. It's speculative theory but I think it's something noteworthy.

There were many. Great show!

To be honest, the only Sith who could be said to come close to being "with out limit", would be Vitiate, but even he did not fit the other criteria. A true singular Sithari would need to be able to hold the same power as Vitiate, able to casually create entire pocket realities, as well as rule the sith and remake them better than before. Sidious was not without limit, nor did he remake the sith, or destroy them. Bane was also not without limit, but he did destroy and remake the sith... Vitiate, was without limit, but he cared not for the sith or jedi, and had no intention to remake them. Vader as Anakin, is without limit, but he only destroyed the sith and did not remake them.

Make a video about Exar Kun prophecy and Ragnos' grand design and how they compare to Sith'ari prophecy?

Your final point reminds me of the line from an author i used to follow. "I am the chosen because I choose to be"

Before watching this video I would have said Sidious was the Sith Chosen and Anakin the Jedi Chosen, and Anakin fulfilled the prophecy by killing Sidious (a very Sith thing to do, even though he was the Jedi Chosen). However, after watching the video, I like you theory of cyclical Sith'ari. Since the midichlorians remain in the universe, and free will to chose light or dark also remains, it makes more sense that the battle would have to be fought over and over again. Maybe not every single generation, but certainly multiple times. Great work, as always, thank you.
