There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions. Kotagg Send a noteboard - 11/06/2012 07:47:25 PM
Most things can be reconciled (which is a large part of Chee's job), but you are correct that there are a few major issues. You're also correct that Lucas hasn't cared...probably ever. :)

It is fair to note that when there are outright contradictions, it has been decided that the movies prevail. But keep in mind that certainly there are many incosistencies between the PT and OT themselves, so even the "holy grail" of continuity has some issues.

"..the one to bring balance to the force" dacole - 08/06/2012 08:42:49 PM 1837 Views
I was under the impression it was widely accepted that Anakin brought balance to the force... Legolas - 08/06/2012 09:36:55 PM 1427 Views
Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy. Kotagg - 08/06/2012 10:48:43 PM 1524 Views
Is that really as canon as the movies? chandra - 09/06/2012 01:29:49 AM 1393 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 1313 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 1363 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 770 Views
Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/06/2012 10:01:16 PM 664 Views
I figured he did it by clearing the deck snoopcester - 08/06/2012 11:33:03 PM 1268 Views

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 1311 Views

This will sound offensive, sorry, but that sounds incredibly dumb. TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:09:20 PM 1375 Views

I don't like your analogy - organisation vs nationality snoopcester - 09/06/2012 07:06:44 PM 1253 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 698 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 1325 Views
Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people. TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:11:51 AM 1176 Views
Even at best you are takling of a multitude of organisations snoopcester - 10/06/2012 08:23:28 AM 1257 Views

Precisely *NM* ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:17:18 PM 685 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 1290 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 1213 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 1380 Views
Also... TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:18:11 AM 1308 Views
