That's why no one predicted the coming of Rian Johnson to the icky brown side of the Force.

When they reset the whole EU they gave Palpatine the first name of Sheev, which was better then his original first name of Cosinga iirc.

Spoiler!

Clearly Anakin didn't balance the force though, because it didn't take long for the galaxy to plunge back into darkness. They even eluded to it with Snoke saying the Darkness rises and the Light rises to meet it, which literally says that it didn't matter what Anakin did the prophesy was bunk because basically the Force is constantly in conflict with each other. Basically Anakin's sacrifice didn't balance the Force, at all, it just sent the Dark Side into retreat for a few years.



The whole 2 vs 2 dark and light side of the force thing isn't balance. Because Frankly there are equivalent levels of power. Palpatine was probably the most powerful Dark side user ever. So when Anakin killed him and died and left Luke and to an extent Leia as the only true expressions of the Force possible so the light side was ascendant, then the Dark side rose with Snoke and the Kylo Ren.



The Force to me can never be in balance unless its one person as the physical manifestation of the Force equal parts dark and light in harmony.


Or similar to the father, daughter and son in TCW.
