The same but different snoopcester Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM
that something like this is how the "undertrained whiner" won.:P


The Jedi hadn't faced a serious threat in x many years and didn't believe a serious one would arise until it was too late. The Sith knew there was one but were too self confident in their own powers to imagine that threat could defeat them.

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1523 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 1079 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 1092 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 570 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 756 Views
ouch. *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:10:08 AM 600 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 1047 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 704 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 1017 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 1410 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1314 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 1145 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1076 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1177 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 747 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1185 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 631 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 652 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 980 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1173 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 761 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1123 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1223 Views
I think all of that makes a lot of sense. LadyLorraine - 11/08/2010 10:58:12 PM 1019 Views
ßelals Girl - 12/08/2010 01:13:20 AM 1065 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 1114 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 1139 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 1028 Views
It makes sense Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM 1116 Views
"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM 912 Views
I think being confident in the Dark Side requires a certain selflessness LadyLorraine - 13/08/2010 03:44:11 AM 1108 Views
Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 1030 Views
there's also a good chance nossy - 12/08/2010 03:26:47 AM 982 Views
The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 1088 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 675 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 493 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 622 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 1009 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 1031 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 1066 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 563 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 694 Views
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 560 Views
Three reasons Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:25:34 PM 1153 Views
I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 1065 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 591 Views
Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 965 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 1126 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 922 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 989 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 952 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 982 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 1099 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1194 Views
Force lightning didn't age him. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:50:44 PM 1020 Views
Re: Force lightning didn't age him. MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 08:02:28 PM 1017 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 947 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 625 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 510 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 923 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1211 Views
