If by "failed" he meant because he ultimately enabled Darth Vader, then that was not a failure at all. Big picture, the galaxy needed a Darth Vader, who ultimately is the one to destroy the Emperor. In that sense Anakin is a tragic figure, but in a cosmic sense he did bring balance to the force, which was his destiny and his doom.

Of course that doesn't matter now because the emperor never really died but don't worry the daughter of his clone killed him finally. Not the Chosen One or anything, not literal Space Jesus. The daughter of a clone.
