You could, but the Jedi Council didn't say that. They didn't even know the Sith still existed. Which bit are you referring to?I’m going to go with the Jedi Council on what they meant by “imbalance”.

The Jedi knew there was an imbalance and that it indicated the existence of a Sith Lord. In this scene, for example, Anakin and Mace Windu discuss that they had feared the presence of and been searching for a Sith Lord.You could, but the Jedi Council didn't say that.

That scene does not mention Anakin bringing balance to the Force.The Jedi knew there was an imbalance and that it indicated the existence of a Sith Lord. In this scene, for example, Anakin and Mace Windu discuss that they had feared the presence of and been searching for a Sith Lord.
He’s the Chosen One! Of course he’s supposed to bring balance to the Force!That scene does not mention Anakin bringing balance to the Force.
In this scene, Obi Wan and Master Windu confirm that it’s their understanding of the prophecy that the Chosen One is supposed to destroy the Sith and [thereby] bring balance to the Force.I did a quick search on all three prequel scripts for references to the word “balance” (there are very few). I haven’t been able to find any reference to the Jedi Council saying that correcting the imbalance meant Anakin killing the Emperor.
Ah, cool. That’s the closest I can find to such a reference. You side with Obi Wan rather than Yoda, then? I take that scene as making it clear that the Jedi haven’t the foggiest idea what it’s supposed to mean.He’s the Chosen One! Of course he’s supposed to bring balance to the Force!

Yoda expresses uncertainty about the interpretation, but everyone watching the movie should have already seen Episode VI and knows that it’s correct.Ah, cool.

I interpret things differently.Yoda expresses uncertainty about the interpretation, but everyone watching the movie should have already seen Episode VI and knows that it’s correct.
Okay, that’s fine. I’m sure we’d all like to hear your interpretation of what it means to bring balance to the Force.I interpret things differently.
