Theprophecy of the Sith’arihails from the oldStar WarsExpanded Universe , and it has finally been cite in Dr. Chris Kempshall’sThe Rise and crepuscle of the Galactic Empire . Here ’s the relevant selection , written by in - universe historiographer Beaumont Kin :

" My old enquiry into the ancient traditional knowledge of both the Jedi and the Sith often find reference to a prophesised individual . The Jedi called them ' the Chosen One ' while fragments of Sith Ketubim make credit of the coming of the " Sith’ari . " Both of these legends share certain aspects and details regarding the approach of one who was bear of the Force itself and who would wield tremendous power . The Jedi consider this individual would convey residuum to the Force , the Sith that they would conduct them to glory . Prophesies are unmanageable things to decrypt and are often more a matter of trust than of destiny . But it appears , both from tales within the Jedi Order in the last days of the Republic and from scroll retrieved from Exegol , that both sides believed the person in question to be Anakin Skywalker . "

The Sith’ari was first mentioned inStar warfare : horse of the Old Republic , and this divination was generally believed to be fulfilled in Darth Bane , founder of theRule of Two . Daniel Wallace’sBook of Sith : enigma from the Dark Sidereinterpreted this , however , establishing that every prominent Sith Lord arrogantly assume the prophecy speak about them . Curiously , though , The ascension and pin of the Galactic Empireseems to suggestthere ’s more to this prophecy than in Legends , because there ’s no hint of being bear of the Force in that version .

It foretells the climax of one who would be gratuitous of limits , who would lead the Sith and put down them , and - curiously - who would raise the Sith from death and make them strong than ever before . This would seemingly point to Palpatine ’s Legends Christ’s Resurrection in Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy’sDark Empireminiseries ( a story for the most part echo in canon’sStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker ) .

There ’s a sentiency in which he was right ; Anakin tossed him to his demise in the closing , after all , and he was raised to lifespan as the shape of the disconsolate side .

It ’s fascinating to reckon Anakin Skywalker fundamentally caught between two prophecies ; the Jedi viewing him as the Chosen One who would destroy the Sith , while the Sith believed he would be the tonality to their Resurrection of Christ .
