Obi-Wan Kenobi took
Luke Skywalker to live on Tatooine with his family in Star Wars, and while it may seem like a strange choice at first glance, it demonstrates that Obi-Wan thought Luke was destined to fulfill the Chosen One prophecy. Obi-Wan didn't learn that Anakin had survived their duel on Mustafar until 10 years after Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, leading him to assume that Luke was the next logical choice.
However, Obi-Wan still believed that Luke was the Chosen One even after learning that Anakin was still alive. This is evident in Obi-Wan's words and actions, illustrating how he always had this faith in Luke. Hiding Luke on Tatooine was the first indication, as it set Luke on a drastically different path from his father's.
