Ah, I must know where to begin, I have had a wonderful train of thought and have been thinking about this for a rather long time.
I have been reading over other members topics, picking threw all the trash and have learned many truths about the game, definite truths from within the game, and from Nomura interviews that I have based my theory on.
Now in an interview Specifically:
It is revealed Indefinitely no matter how hard you try to say 'but he also said . . .' he indefinetly said that it was IN. THE. PAST. but could be thought of as in the future, you with me? it was in the past!
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD (When put in spoiler box expanded page too far)
Now keep with me here, We have to remember Nomura's Interview, which states there is an importance in Ansem's Report 9, The legends of the chaos and saver keyblades. Now given that keyblades is plural and non-specific, it could have literally been a fight between the 2 wielders, or a fight between many. The keyblade gathering in the secret ending is not a definite signifier of anything, so you cannot call it a keylbade 'graveyard' as I've heard some people do.
So we know that the video has something to do with Xehanorts Memory, because obviously, it says those words on the movie, so it is an educated guess that this (since it is in the past) is a flashback of Xehanorts, and that that is Xehanort walking towards the nights. Based on the knowledge here, we can presume that the fight between the chaos and saver keybladers has already happened, where the chaos wielder raught choas upon the worlds until the other saved the worlds, two different legends with one commonpoint is not uncommon.
Thus We can assume that these knights (and based on the keyblades they picked up, the male picking up the keyblade of light, the shorter female picking up the keyblade of darkness and The taller female picking up the keyblade of twilight, road to dawn is how i may refer to them) are the so called 'Chasers' Who send out the keyblades and or chase the next to be keyblade masters around waiting for the opportune moment to give them their keyblades (and being the voices who tell sora the words keyblade over and over).
This is better supported, and in the video it stresses this: "It All Began With Birth By Sleep". Sora was sleeping in KH1 when he first was being prepared to wield the keyblade, it is likely that the person talking to him was the Male chaser, and was guiding him, telling him how to defeat the darkness, telling him he would open the door to the light. It is also likely the shorter female chaser gave mickey his keyblade, and guided him to the realm of darkness to close the door to darkness. Then we can conclude that somewhere along the way after the door was closed, around the time of or after Castle Oblivion, when riku accepted his darkness and became twilight, that the taller female chaser gave him Road to Dawn, We can further see her as the voice in KH1 final mix, who is talking to him about the door that will soon be shut, and how his heart was left behind (which was why he couldn't recieve the keyblade there), he then wakes up in hallow bastion and, you know the rest, but in turn after he gte road to dawn it led to him getting power over more darkness, which is odd, but which in turn helped him capture Roxas, which made Sora whole again, which lead to the opening of the door to light after beating Xemnas.
So, since we have seen a picture of the knight with his mask half off, we have another piece to the puzzle. Now I'm not talking about Who this is, I'm talking about what this signifies. It means there was a Battle between Xehanort and the 3 knights. Ansem the Wise was beginning to Test on darkness in the hearts anyways, and darkness would have efused into the world, thus the chasers where about to disperse the keyblades, but Xehanort, who intentions are not clear to me, tried to stop them, that we can be certain. One theory is that he did not want another keyblade war, or maybe he realized the keyblades had something to do with the continuing darkness. What ever the reason, we knoww he was eventually defeated, and the chasers threw him into radiant garden and wiped his memory. HE then began testing on hearts, and when he separated his heart from his nobody, he sent kairi out to find a the secret behind the keyblade (he had obviously overheard king mickey and Ansem the Wise talking, and he was the one who opened the door to radiant garden heart, which may signify ongoing plots managed by the knights, since they could unlock the door with their keylbade). So we know that this is where Sora gets his keyblade of light, and we know somehow kairi got to the door and lost her heart (which may signify 'something' leading her there) thus making sora go on his journey and finally close the door to darkness, eventually opening the door to light.
So we can see that Xehanorts motivation behind wanting to stop these chasers was because they where merely mainting the balance between light and darkness, darkness gained too much leverage so they balanced it by influencing those who could increase the light and bring down the darkness to equalize it. Xehanort obviously must have been a child of the people who fought over the light and created darkness, and must have wanted to bring things back to normal where there was only light.
The lost two could refer to the two keybladers who where not around anymore who where fighting the keyblade war, so now there had to be given keyblades to new people, mickey and sora, and they needed riku to help out.
The Lost two do not signify anything as to how future keybladers would be chosen, the Chasers maintained the balance of light and dark, i this theory, and the only way to do that was to get new keybladers. In this theory the number of keybladers is never specific as with the plural form of keyblades is never said threw a number. So the lost two could have been the only two, or just two important people.
The keyblade Riku wielded when controlled by ansem does not fit into our standard category of keyblades, nor the Ansem's Report 9. It unlocks the darkness in hearts, but it does not per say open or unlock any doors, and is made of the princess' hearts. If the Keyblade holds phenominal power then could we really measure it out to even the princess's of heart? I'm not certain that we could, however this is one of the uncertains as to we still have not been givin any clues of what a keyblade is made of anyways.
Further more we may wonder if one of the lost two, the saver in this case, is who Xigbar was refering to when he said he reminded him of someone.
Welll there is my theory, it all ties together Very Very nicely in my opinion, builds its own proof ontop of itself, and is stable. Tell me if you see any flaws and I will gladly look to see if I should include something else i must have left out, since i was reviewing many topics at once while writing this so i don't remember if i got them all down.
A summary if you will:
The Shadow Figure is Xehanort.
The 3 Knights are the Chasers, and gave out the Keyblades to balance the Light and Darkness, and have given them out before.
The lost two are likely the chaos and savers wielders who fought in the keyblade war, although there could have been many more as keyblades is plural and undefined at the moment.
The Chasers aided Sora, Riku, and Mickey in closing the door to darkness, and in the long run of opening the door to light.
Birth By Sleep refers to the dreams that Sora and maybe the others had about the platforms and eventually leading to them about to recieve their keyblades.
The Secret Ending is perhaps a Flashback of Xehanorts Memory
(If any proof is needed look above)

Now in an interview Specifically:
Nomura Interview
Q. Did that scene happen in the future or in the past?
A. I would at least say it's an episode in the past, but.... Hmm, how should I say this? It's in the past but you can also think it's in the future, something like that.
Q. Who are the 3 armoured people?
A. Those 3 are completely new people who haven't shown up at all. In fact, I've already thought of their names. Back when I was making that movie, I only had their settings but now I've even drawn their faces to give myself a clearer image of them.
Q. The king, Sora and Riku's keyblades were there, too.
A. It's to show that those three armoured people aren't them but that doesn't mean they don't have connections. The words "Keyblade War" that showed up in the middle were to implicate that there were fights between Keyblades. Most of the puzzles in the first KH have been solved in KHII but there are many things about the Keyblade that haven't been revealed yet. A line from the previous game's Ansem Report #9 appeared in the movie but that is to say "It means this but it's not explained yet."
It is revealed Indefinitely no matter how hard you try to say 'but he also said . . .' he indefinetly said that it was IN. THE. PAST. but could be thought of as in the future, you with me? it was in the past!
