" Now....Matters Are Worse..."- Yoda- "Empire Strikes Back"

Okay, so here's what I am thinking about at 4 a.m. with a SHRIEKING 2 month old projectile vomiting on the floor(aaah...the fluids of fatherhood)...In "The Empire Strikes Back", after Luke has seen the vision of Han and Leia suffering, and he has decided to leave Degobah for the Cloud City(Bespa I believe it is called- Geek Check, I lose)...He has this conversation with Yoda and the Spirit of Ben Kenobi(which, by the way, was the rejected name of Lindbergh's plane)..but they fail to convince him that he must stay and finish his training..as he flies off, Yoda says the title line of this post, and then Ben Kenobi(Obi-Wan) says: "That boy was our last hope."..and Yoda says" No, there is another." About whom do you think he was speaking ?
I know that a lot of people assume he is talking about(really really old spoiler alert) Leia, as we soon find out that she and Luke are brother and sister(twins, in fact, perhaps part of why this is on my mind ?)...But I disagree, I think he is talking about Anakin Skywalker, because in the end, he does redeem himself, kill the Emperor and restore balance to the Force- not Leia. What do you think ?

Well, obviously he was speaking of our good friend anonymous here, because what else could bring balance to the force than road bicycle repair?!

I'm thinking that the "other" has yet to be revealed...there are three more episodes, right? So I guess I'm still waiting for the messiah.
p.s. in the settings, Pat, you can make commenters type gibberish before they comment and get rid of these pesky anonymous spammers. I learned the hard way.

Feral Mom, that is a different take on it that I had not considered...I was working within the intial trilogy actually, but you could have something there...As for the spam, it's great for research, I was thinking of opening a bike repair/masturbation prostate health shop once I moved to Florida, so this has given me a real head start on that...
