Why does that make no sense? Legolas Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM
I always thought the statement about there always being two Sith meant that "they come in pairs," not that there are ONLY ever two Sith in existence at any one time.

Fairly sure it's the latter, although judging by what Wikipedia and people in this thread say about some books, it wasn't always so. I wouldn't know, I've only seen the movies.
If it actually means the latter, that's pretty stupid and makes no sense.

Why?

Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 1067 Views

That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 565 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 746 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 1397 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1292 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1055 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1168 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 743 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1174 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 626 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 647 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 968 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1160 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 754 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1112 Views

Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 668 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 488 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 618 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 558 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 687 Views

They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 910 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 974 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 941 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 969 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 1090 Views
