"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 1244 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 1255 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 646 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 671 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 1247 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 784 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 1164 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 1611 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1498 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 1330 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 1347 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 826 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1367 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 724 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1144 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1349 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 851 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1280 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 1203 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 1284 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 1302 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 1201 Views
It makes sense Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM 1307 Views
"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM 1085 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 1156 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 562 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 695 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 1181 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 1270 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 666 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 647 Views

I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 1212 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 666 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 1279 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 1090 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1134 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1112 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1189 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 1282 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1411 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 1185 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 1132 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 719 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 1093 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1381 Views
