The image is just of a stone creature in a wacky pose. There's nothing to suggest that he was the Chosen One or that he failed at doing so, and the caption pulls all the weight. Motion to pull.

I don't have much in the way of potential suggestions, however. This page from the Darth Vader comics comes to mind, but I don't know if it's clear enough.

Yeah, that's completely reliant on the caption. The suggestion is okay, but just okay.

Suggestion is weak, but works pending better options.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

The suggestion seems okay.

Re-clocked. Here's the suggestion at wiki size...I'm starting to lean against it and just pulling the current. Any other thoughts?

7 with caption: "It was said you were supposed to destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!"

[tup]7.

That said, I think there's just enough text in the image to make the suggested caption in [up][up] a bit too much exposition. We don't need to know all that to get it, imo, since we already get it with the image alone.

Honestly, I'm not that crazy about 7, as I don't think his red eyes are clear enough and it just looks like he's laying there. I'm actually starting to lose my liking for the pic at all, the more I look at it.

Imageless, then?

It's the "chosen one" part that doesn't lend itself well to being demonstrated visually more so than the "poorly chosen" part.

Alright, let's go without a pic for now since we're well past the new clock. The pic's pulled and the page is tagged; locking up.
