The Jedi are a bunch of dumbasses. They have a prophecy that says he will bring balance to the Force, but they have held the Sith down in population for centuries. Where will the scale drop when the balance come? It was obvious from the beginning that it was a bad idea (even if you don't know how the rest of the movies unfold). Shoving prophecy where it doesn't belong is just a damn stupid idea.
Kirk: Spock, you want to know something? Everybody’s human.
Spock: I find that remark…insulting.

"..the one to bring balance to the force" dacole - 08/06/2012 08:42:49 PM 1686 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 1334 Views
Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy. Kotagg - 08/06/2012 10:48:43 PM 1396 Views
Is that really as canon as the movies? chandra - 09/06/2012 01:29:49 AM 1283 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 1183 Views

The books are entirely canon. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 06:46:23 AM 1265 Views

There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 07:47:25 PM 1239 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 1249 Views

This. *NM* Rebekah - 09/06/2012 06:06:16 AM 623 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 694 Views
Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/06/2012 10:01:16 PM 609 Views
I figured he did it by clearing the deck snoopcester - 08/06/2012 11:33:03 PM 1149 Views
If things are going well, then balance is the last thing you want A Deathwatch Guard - 09/06/2012 04:46:37 AM 1155 Views
Are you saying there are plot holes in Star Wars? Never! *NM* Rebekah - 09/06/2012 06:09:59 AM 761 Views

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 1211 Views

This will sound offensive, sorry, but that sounds incredibly dumb. TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:09:20 PM 1249 Views
I don't see how it's dumb ironclad - 09/06/2012 04:26:43 PM 1233 Views

I don't like your analogy - organisation vs nationality snoopcester - 09/06/2012 07:06:44 PM 1146 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 618 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 1210 Views
Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people. TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:11:51 AM 1069 Views
Even at best you are takling of a multitude of organisations snoopcester - 10/06/2012 08:23:28 AM 1143 Views
What you seem to be overlooking... Legolas - 09/06/2012 08:50:30 PM 1279 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:17:18 PM 632 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 1179 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 1100 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 1254 Views
Also... TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:18:11 AM 1213 Views
Another thing. TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:13:43 PM 1083 Views
The concept of evil in SW (like in WOT) is Zoroastrian, not Taoist DomA - 09/06/2012 12:26:20 PM 1172 Views
