I was under the impression it was widely accepted that Anakin brought balance to the force... Legolas Send a noteboard - 08/06/2012 09:36:55 PM
by going over to the Dark Side. And then, one could argue, again in the other direction by taking out the Sith Lord when he threatened to kill Luke, one of the very few left on the good side (I should point out I haven't actually seen more than glimpses of Return of the Jedi, so anything I say involving the plot of that movie needs to be taken with several grains of salt...).

Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy. Kotagg - 08/06/2012 10:48:43 PM 1359 Views
Is that really as canon as the movies? chandra - 09/06/2012 01:29:49 AM 1239 Views
As canon as Han saying the Death Star was too big to be a space station... TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:21:12 PM 1126 Views

The books are entirely canon. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 06:46:23 AM 1199 Views

There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 07:47:25 PM 1183 Views
"Balance to the Force" is a numbers game. The key is in a comment by Yoda at the end of Ep. 1. TaskmasterJack - 08/06/2012 11:04:03 PM 1203 Views

But Obi Wan said Anakin was prophecied to destroy the Sith "not join them!" And he did. Eventually. *NM* Cannoli - 11/06/2012 04:38:42 PM 672 Views
Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/06/2012 10:01:16 PM 582 Views
I figured he did it by clearing the deck snoopcester - 08/06/2012 11:33:03 PM 1100 Views
If things are going well, then balance is the last thing you want A Deathwatch Guard - 09/06/2012 04:46:37 AM 1111 Views
Are you saying there are plot holes in Star Wars? Never! *NM* Rebekah - 09/06/2012 06:09:59 AM 729 Views

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 1160 Views

This will sound offensive, sorry, but that sounds incredibly dumb. TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:09:20 PM 1202 Views

I don't like your analogy - organisation vs nationality snoopcester - 09/06/2012 07:06:44 PM 1104 Views
What if I had said Christians instead of Americans? Then you'd have the comparison you favor. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 08:44:21 PM 593 Views
No I wouldn't, I'm frankly confused as to why you think I would favour that more snoopcester - 09/06/2012 09:03:28 PM 1172 Views
Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people. TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:11:51 AM 1036 Views
Even at best you are takling of a multitude of organisations snoopcester - 10/06/2012 08:23:28 AM 1100 Views
What you seem to be overlooking... Legolas - 09/06/2012 08:50:30 PM 1225 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:17:18 PM 611 Views
I'm not overlooking it. I just don't view the moment as one of "balance achievement". TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:09:45 AM 1140 Views
Your other posts don't sound as if you see what I'm getting at here... Legolas - 10/06/2012 12:22:02 AM 1053 Views
No, I do. You probably read my tangent about my disagreement with Lucas about Vader's redemption. TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:41:36 AM 1215 Views
Also... TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:18:11 AM 1168 Views

The concept of evil in SW (like in WOT) is Zoroastrian, not Taoist DomA - 09/06/2012 12:26:20 PM 1126 Views
