They are just another avenue for discussion.

Also, the question in the title was "why are the Sith made to seem stronger than the Jedi, which asks for some speculation into the mechanics of writing.

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1732 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 1276 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 1279 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 662 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 839 Views
ouch. *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:10:08 AM 681 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 1279 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 803 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 1190 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 1632 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1520 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 1354 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1298 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1382 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 838 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1391 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 716 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 749 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1164 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1375 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 859 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1306 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1439 Views
I think all of that makes a lot of sense. LadyLorraine - 11/08/2010 10:58:12 PM 1225 Views
ßelals Girl - 12/08/2010 01:13:20 AM 1232 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 1314 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 1328 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 1232 Views
It makes sense Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM 1329 Views
"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM 1108 Views
I think being confident in the Dark Side requires a certain selflessness LadyLorraine - 13/08/2010 03:44:11 AM 1303 Views
Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 1256 Views
there's also a good chance nossy - 12/08/2010 03:26:47 AM 1182 Views
The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 1278 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 769 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 570 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 706 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 1207 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 1211 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 1292 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 684 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 769 Views
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 655 Views
Three reasons Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:25:34 PM 1342 Views
I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 1234 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 675 Views
Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 1132 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 1308 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 1122 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1156 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1140 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1213 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 1304 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1448 Views
Force lightning didn't age him. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:50:44 PM 1218 Views
Re: Force lightning didn't age him. MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 08:02:28 PM 1219 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 1161 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 735 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 608 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 1123 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1415 Views
