Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight Send a noteboard - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM
My point is that the movies focus on a specific period of upheaval. OM THE WHOLE, it is the Jedi who have power in the galaxy, not the Sith. The Empire occupies a minute period of time in the history of the Republic.


Well, if you take into account EU events, the sith do a whole lot of damage. Granted we have one period of upheaval in the original six movies, it is still something like 30 or 40 years of tyranny. Something worth noting.

Plus, I don't think the OP was referring to actual rule but more like combat skills and such.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

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 1472 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1395 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1152 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1239 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 776 Views

Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 675 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1031 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1240 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 787 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1173 Views

Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 702 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 511 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 647 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 610 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 710 Views

They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 982 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1031 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1004 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1037 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 1149 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1271 Views
