Is there some canon source including completely the exact text of "The Prophecy of The Chosen One"? I am reading The Jedi Path, but the pages containing the text are defaced, supposedly by Palpatine.
Answer
This blog is written by one of the people who worked on the book. He says that he did indeed write 3 pages worth of the prophecy, but only left a few bits and pieces in the finished text. When they were working on the book, they wanted to include a section on the prophecy, so they contacted Lucasfilms for advice; they were told that Lucasfilms planned to do something very interesting with the prophecy in the near future, and therefore, the book couldn't include anything about it. The note from Luke was an afterthought, inserted when they realized that if they published a book with pages torn out, they'd have a nightmare on their hands- sellers returning shipments, consumers calling and complaining about it, complete confusion and a huge headache. So they put the note in to let everyone know that the pages were meant to be that way.
Update: I now have the Kindle edition of this book, and the pages in question are unreadable. The first of these pages has what looks like a Post-It note reading:
These pages were already corrupted when the book came into my possession. I don't know who tried to suppress the prophecy, but it was most likely the Emperor. - Luke
