Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The prophecy of the Chosen One was an ancient Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a powerfully Force-sensitive being who would restore balance to the Force. The prophecy was one of hundreds of obscure legends maintained by the Jedi Order, though its origins remain unknown. It was thought to have been created by the earliest Jedi philosophers, after the creation of the Galactic Republic but before the Jedi assumed an active role in it.
