Chosen One (ESW)

The Chosen One was a being foretold in prophecy to be the savior of the galaxy and to bring into balance. According to prophecy, the Chosen One was to destroy the Dark Crusaders&mdash;the dark side Force organization&mdash; and vanquish the dark side of the Force permanently, thus bringing the Force into balance. Contrary to popular belief by many beings that knew about the prophecy, most particularly the Galactic Republic political officials, it was not meant to foresee the destiny of the galaxy's political and military institutions. That meant the military and government allied with the Jedi could still be defeated even if the Chosen One succeeded.

Many Jedi believed the Corellian Jedi prodigy Scott Borek was this Chosen One and made every effort to facilitate his growth and destiny. Lesser proponents felt that, if the prophecy was true, it was describing individuals that would rise up and destroy the Crusaders every time they rose to power. This interpretation meant the prophecy referred to multiple individuals in multiple eras that were there to bring the Force back its natural state. Even still, other sects of the Order felt the Chosen One exist at all.
