The Prophecy...?

It is certainly an interpretation, but is it actually made clear?

In either case, IMHO it holds that by trying to do good, by intervening Luke's efforts would result in the exact opposite occurring. The manner in which he falls to the Dark Side might be irrelevent, actually, the only important thing being that he would fall.

So... where were we? Is this about to turn into a theological debate?
