I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ ironclad Send a noteboard - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM
I don't get how anyone could honestly say: There were too many Jedi, they had to go, so things were even? That's not how I see it it all.

Anakin brought balance by helping his son defeat the emperor, paying for his horrible deeds 20 years earlier and therefore wiping out the Sith. A balance (here) does not mean that there are equally many figures on each side of the scale, but that the world is at peace.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

I was under the impression it was widely accepted that Anakin brought balance to the force... Legolas - 08/06/2012 09:36:55 PM 1252 Views
Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy. Kotagg - 08/06/2012 10:48:43 PM 1317 Views
Is that really as canon as the movies? chandra - 09/06/2012 01:29:49 AM 1194 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 1081 Views

The books are entirely canon. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 06:46:23 AM 1164 Views

There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 07:47:25 PM 1141 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 1164 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 650 Views
Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/06/2012 10:01:16 PM 562 Views
I figured he did it by clearing the deck snoopcester - 08/06/2012 11:33:03 PM 1057 Views

This will sound offensive, sorry, but that sounds incredibly dumb. TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:09:20 PM 1150 Views

I don't like your analogy - organisation vs nationality snoopcester - 09/06/2012 07:06:44 PM 1066 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 572 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 1133 Views
Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people. TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:11:51 AM 993 Views
Even at best you are takling of a multitude of organisations snoopcester - 10/06/2012 08:23:28 AM 1060 Views

Precisely *NM* ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:17:18 PM 593 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 1098 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 1009 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 1166 Views
Also... TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:18:11 AM 1128 Views
