It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 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?

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1749 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 1292 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 1290 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 673 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 854 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 1649 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1538 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1312 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1394 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 849 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1407 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 725 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 758 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1178 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1393 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 871 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1320 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1470 Views

The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 1290 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 781 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 582 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 721 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 696 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 784 Views

Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 1146 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 1333 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 1138 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1178 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1159 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1227 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 1335 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1470 Views

No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 1175 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 751 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 619 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 1136 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1431 Views
