I really don't want to argue Star Wars here but...
I do want to clear up how luke was the chosen one and not little orphan Annie.
So before a new hope All Jedi were basically modeled after fighting shaolin monks, their various disciplines and adhearance to a works based devotion that allowed then to access the light side of the force. In this 'religion' they are taught to suppress strong emotions and even relationships with strong emotional ties.
The sith on the other hand embrace strong emotion as access to the 'dark side of the force' is granted through chaneling raw emotion.
Anikin started the pendulum that eventually brought balance to the force, but he himself was not the embodiment of balance the prophesy spoke of. Before darth sidous took control of the senate, the force was a Jedi or light side heavy. One has to remember the force is neither good or bad light or dark it is a balance of both, and as such is a self leveling 'force.' Anikin was the catalyst of destruction of the light side/Jedi side of the force, that off set the balance that existed in the force pre revenge of the sith, and in the end took out the other extreme (the emperor) leaving one Jedi at the end of return of the Jedi. And later if you read the books you know Leah became a Jedi to a lessor degree(using her power as a diplomat), and her and solo's twins became Jedi. And luke goes on to open a temple on the moon of yavin 4. Thus making the force light side or Jedi heavy again... So Annie did not bring balance to anything.
Luke was the true 'chosen one' as he was the first person to successfully navigate both the light side and dark side of the force and not be consumed by either side. Luke mastered all of the disciplines of the light side all the while keeping his emotions intact. Something previously shunned by the old Jedi order, as every single other person who experienced strong emotion eventually succumb to the dark side. Luke felt fear, I. His trials with yoda, tremoundous suffering and guilt when he found out bader was his pop, anger at the emperor when he found out they had been tricked into attacking the second Death Star. He used his rage to beat down vader and took his hand as he had his taken, but rather than kill his father and take his place in the dark side he stopped regain his composure (something no other Jedi has ever come back from) and offered his life to give his father an oppertunity to save his own soul.
The fact that luke can tap and use both sides of the force is what makes him balanced in the force and ultimately the chosen one.
Killing one Sith Lord and leaving more Jedi that sith does not a chosen one make. Drawing power form both sides of the force and maintaining control is the balance the prophesy spoke of.
