"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM
I was kind of surprised about the relative selflessness of that philosophy, but I guess it's something along the lines of "well, you have to die some time."
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1701 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 1243 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 1254 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 645 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 833 Views
ouch. *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:10:08 AM 669 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 1246 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 783 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 1163 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 1610 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1497 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 1329 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1263 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1346 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 825 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1366 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 704 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 723 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1143 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1348 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 850 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1279 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1406 Views
I think all of that makes a lot of sense. LadyLorraine - 11/08/2010 10:58:12 PM 1191 Views
ßelals Girl - 12/08/2010 01:13:20 AM 1202 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 1283 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 1301 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 1200 Views
It makes sense Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM 1306 Views
"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM 1084 Views
I think being confident in the Dark Side requires a certain selflessness LadyLorraine - 13/08/2010 03:44:11 AM 1283 Views
Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 1223 Views
there's also a good chance nossy - 12/08/2010 03:26:47 AM 1155 Views
The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 1246 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 761 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 561 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 693 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 1178 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 1180 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 1269 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 665 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 752 Views
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 646 Views

I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 1211 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 665 Views
Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 1106 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 1278 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 1089 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1133 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1111 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1188 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 1281 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1410 Views
Force lightning didn't age him. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:50:44 PM 1185 Views
Re: Force lightning didn't age him. MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 08:02:28 PM 1184 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 1131 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 718 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 597 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 1091 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1379 Views
