Lucas mentioned many times in interviews that Anakin/Vader is The Chosen One

him even more powerful and in control of a seperate line of the Empire from the
First Order and subsequently having Rey kill him makes a mockery of the entire
series. It seems like Disney has retconned the previous movies and landed Rey
with the mantle of The Chosen One.
