The Sith are stronger than individual Jedi, in general, for the simple reason that there can only be two Sith at a time whereas there are many Jedi (admittedly not so many anymore by the time of the original trilogy, but they could retrain and get more again).


That does not fit with the "bring balance to the force" prophecy. If that is to be correct, the balance is achieved by there being two Sith and two Jedi. If their relative strengths were that different, that prophecy would make no sense, as Anakin would (on the contrary) destroy the balance.

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1775 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 1321 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 1315 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 682 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 866 Views

This. And "Star Wars" is not really trying to be anything more than a campy space opera. & RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/08/2010 06:51:48 PM 1684 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1567 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1338 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1416 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 861 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1431 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 736 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 772 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1205 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1413 Views
Evil is what throws it out of balance. Why do people persist in thinking it is ever necessary? *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:14:29 PM 882 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1340 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1491 Views

Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 1296 Views

The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 1315 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 796 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 595 Views
Because, without it, there's no tension or danger of the Good Guys losing. Goes for all media. *NM* Zalis - 11/08/2010 05:08:34 PM 731 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 1243 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 1250 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 1325 Views
In that case, it's because Lucas is a shitty writer with a risible ethical system. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:47:26 AM 706 Views
I don't get your question/rant. Shouldn't you be happy the Sith are stronger? considering your name *NM* Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:21:41 PM 800 Views
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 681 Views

Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 1165 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 1353 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 1161 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1204 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1183 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1251 Views
That's all true, but my point is simply that the Jedi are in charge more often than the Sith. Ghavrel - 13/08/2010 01:12:38 AM 1372 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1499 Views

No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 1195 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 761 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 630 Views
