There were countless jedi and hardly any sith, if any at all, so obviously the dark side was at its weakest at that point. So to bring balance to the force, it could only mean that either more sith would arise, or lots of jedi would die. Either one of those options seems like it's pretty bad for the entire universe, so I'm really not certain why anyone thought it was a good idea to train Anakin in order to have him fulfill his destiny.
Agreed but then taoism has never made much sense to me heh.

I was under the impression it was widely accepted that Anakin brought balance to the force...

Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy.

As canon as Han saying the Death Star was too big to be a space station...

There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions.

"Balance to the Force" is a numbers game. The key is in a comment by Yoda at the end of Ep. 1.

But Obi Wan said Anakin was prophecied to destroy the Sith "not join them!" And he did. Eventually. *NM*

Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM*

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ

What if I had said Christians instead of Americans? Then you'd have the comparison you favor. *NM*

No I wouldn't, I'm frankly confused as to why you think I would favour that more

Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people.

I'm not overlooking it. I just don't view the moment as one of "balance achievement".

No, I do. You probably read my tangent about my disagreement with Lucas about Vader's redemption.

The concept of evil in SW (like in WOT) is Zoroastrian, not Taoist

The problem with Star Wars is that smart people analyze it, but... it's pretty simplistic
