remidns me of a short story I wrote about a guy who forsaw his own death of being killed by a giant underwater fish. great, he knew he was invincible, and how to protect himself from death. Problem is, he had no way of telling the age of himself, so he was jsut compeltely frightened of water from then on. Eventually he gets kidnapped and dumped in the water and caught in some sea-weed. He saw the giant sea creature moving in and struggled to free himself, panicking, losing oxygen. The sea creature approach and looked like it was trying to free him from the sea-weed, but because he was so frightened he ended up fending it off with a knife and stabbing it, so it turned on him and bit him in half. Screwing with the irony of predicting the future is always fun.
By the way, the force was balanced after anakin died. Just because there are two on two doesn't make it balanced. The emperor had enormous power over the entire republic, and yoda was forced to stay in hiding. That's not balance. The balance is that Luke Skywalker would begin a new jedi academy and restart the cycle.

A man once asked the Buddha, "How does one escape the heat of the summer sun?"
And the Buddha replied, "Why not try crawling into the blazing furnace?"
