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 1551 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1454 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 1210 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1294 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 805 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1310 Views

Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 697 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 1089 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1298 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 826 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1227 Views

Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 739 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 538 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 674 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 643 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 729 Views

They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 1038 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 1081 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 1060 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 1129 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 1222 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1348 Views
