Ironically Obi-Wans line from Return of the Jedi about a certain point of view renders his belief that Luke is the Chosen One merely that.

Why does obi wan say luke is the chosen one. George Lucas always said that Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one but Luke Skywalker carries the traits of the chosen one because he is his son. As is shown in ROTS they were BOTH intended to be trained as Jedi and the timing of the training was pretty much left by Yoda to the Force. He is and Mauls last words are he will avenge us.

No my father didnt fight in the wars. The only thing I can think of was that he wanted to inspire Luke by saying his father wanted him to have it to increase the chances he would agree to come with Obi-Wan. It was a tactic they felt was necessary because theyd both made the.

Obi-Wan shouted at Anakin Skywalker You were the chosen one. He doesnt he just deduced Obi-Wan was on Tatooine protecting someone and asked if the someone was the Chosen One as he died. However a reasonable explanation is that Obi-Wan lied about it as a recruiting technique.

A New Hope saw the introduction of a seemingly a tired old man a former General who fought in The Clone Wars who needed to get Luke Skywalker from Mos Eisley to Alderaan. You were the Chosen One. Obi-Wan lamented to a freshly minted Darth Vader in the climax to Revenge of the Sith.

To this end he might have considered it better to Bend the truth a little and tell Luke that Darth Vader killed his father rather than that Darth Vader was his father. On the brink of death Maul in a single moment of. Knowing Obi-Wan has a purpose on Tatooine Maul says tell me is it the chosen one Obi-Wan answers.

So did Qui-Gon and a few other Jedi masters. Obi-wan wanted Luke to fight against the Empire and The Dark Side. This video discuses the belief by Obi-Wan Kenobi that Luke Skyalker and not his father Anakin was the chosen one.
