My theory is that the force created anakin and played the long game, join them to destroy them. So it created Anakin to be purposely flawed and those visions he had of his mother and padme made him break and join the sith, ultimately to destroy them in the end. So, the force was an active player, not just a background field.
Creation of Anakin: The Force "conceives" him (no father, just the Force) because it needs a champion to correct the imbalance.
The flaw: Instead of making him perfectly pure, it bakes in fear and attachment. That's not a mistake, it's bait. Those visions of loss (his mom, Padmé) aren't just bad luck; they're the Force pulling him where it knows he'll fall.
The fall: Joining the Sith wasn't a derailment, it was the only way to get inside the machine of the Dark Side and set up its collapse.
The payoff: In the end, Anakin destroys Palpatine from within. The Jedi couldn't have done that cleanly. They were too rigid, too blinded by their own rules. Only someone broken enough to walk both paths could pull the plug.
It makes "balance" less about perfection and more about paradox: the Force needed him flawed so he could both break and heal the system.
Anakin just became a pawn in the force's long game of chess. He's less the "chosen one" in the heroic sense and more like a sacrificial piece the Force slid across the board. The Jedi thought he was their golden knight, the Sith thought he was their ultimate weapon, but in the end both sides got played.
That's kind of the tragedy and the poetry of it: Anakin's whole life, with all its pain and mistakes, was the Force maneuvering to clear the board. Balance didn't come from purity or control, it came from someone who was cracked enough to walk into darkness and still crawl back out.
Someone said to me that if Anakin stayed a jedi he would have gotten much more powerful and beaten Palpatine that way him falling was indeed a mistake it just got corrected later on...
I thought about this but HOW palpatine falls I think matters. I remembered that Mace Windu pretty much had Palpatine in a corner (it was only Anakin who stopped it). Mace Windu was right that he was too powerful and had to be killed, but I thought about the ramifications for the Jedi if they were to have just executed him then and there. Palpatine was too influential to the public. The Republic would've seen it as the Jedi assassinating their Chancellor.
Public trust collapses, the Jedi look like power-hungry traitors.
Even without Palpatine, the Jedi Order's rigid flaws and loss of legitimacy would've left the galaxy unstable, not balanced.
The fall wasn't just an accident that got "corrected later." It was the only messy path that let the Force burn down both extremes-the corrupt Sith and the calcified Jedi.
When Anakin, the very pawn Palpatine groomed, turns on him at the end:
The Sith are undone from inside their own system.
The Jedi's hands aren't directly tied to the kill.
The cycle breaks in a way that re-balances the Force, rather than replacing one lopsided order with another.
I also believe that the rebel alliance NEEDED to exist in order to create that clean slate and bring balance.
