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 1655 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 1188 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 1207 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 615 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 809 Views
ouch. *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:10:08 AM 652 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 1204 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 760 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 1131 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 1554 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1456 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 1278 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1215 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1298 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 807 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1315 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 686 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 699 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1092 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1301 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 827 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1229 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1350 Views
I think all of that makes a lot of sense. LadyLorraine - 11/08/2010 10:58:12 PM 1143 Views
ßelals Girl - 12/08/2010 01:13:20 AM 1163 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 1238 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 1267 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 1152 Views
It makes sense Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM 1244 Views
"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM 1031 Views
I think being confident in the Dark Side requires a certain selflessness LadyLorraine - 13/08/2010 03:44:11 AM 1225 Views
Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 1170 Views
there's also a good chance nossy - 12/08/2010 03:26:47 AM 1111 Views
The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 1199 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 741 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 540 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 675 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 1128 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 1141 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 1199 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 645 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 730 Views
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 624 Views

I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 1167 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 647 Views
Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 1058 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 1240 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 1041 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1086 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1066 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1131 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 1225 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1353 Views
Force lightning didn't age him. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:50:44 PM 1135 Views
Re: Force lightning didn't age him. MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 08:02:28 PM 1134 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 1086 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 700 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 578 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 1041 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1340 Views
