| Why the Force is in imbalance | |

Okay, I think I might have figured this one out open for debate of course  The Force is an entity, so it equals 1 The Light side = 0.5 The Dark Side = 0.5 Now, an equasion always is in balance, so both sides must be equal. If the equasion is brought into imbalance, it will balance itself again (see Matrix Reloaded to catch my drift completely  )Let us presume that for every dark sider, there is an equal lightsider let's presume that Darth Maul = Obi-Wan Kenobi There is balance Dooku = Anakin There is still balance Sidious = ...? no more balance The equasion tips over to the Dark Side, and there is imbalance Which is probably why Anakin had twins. Twice his power. And perhaps the power needed to destroy Sidious once and for all... What do you feel about this? _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

can't argue with math, that is why I like it hmmm imbalance 1000 Jedi vs 2 Sith Yes Imbalance, if the one were to bring balance it would appear more like this 2 Jedi vs 2 Sith (Obi Wan, Yoda and Vader, Emperor) Obi wan perishes, who takes his place? Luke. 2 to 2 Yoda perishes, oh snaps imbalance! Not quite since it is in Yoda departure that Luke learns "there is another" Leia his sister. 2 to 2 The two "jedi" or good guys over power the evil empire how? Not with a lightsaber or turbolasers, with love. Anakins love of his children. Hmm another emotion that Ani can't control. Yeah Galaxy!! then its 2 vs. ? Imbalance, can you say sequel trilogy!!

Perhaps the Jedi havn't figured that part out yet. then realise it means them getting slaughtered and think, oops we dumb I do like Buzz's idea. Usualy people think of the force being balanced by light = Dark as in this definition Quote: A state of equilibrium or parity characterized by cancellation of all forces by equal opposing forces. it could be balanced when there is no chaotic dark force users, and all of the force users are peaceful, controled, serene (basicly jedi), as in this definition Quote: A harmonious or satisfying arrangement or proportion of parts or elements, _______________ Quote: fiZZe: its SIR Fizzy Fluffy :p Quote: FiZZ[JAK]: that was what I call a counter Ah, things you only ever expect to hear once

Is it just me or is there a lot of inconsistencies in the movies? The movie didn't even seem to define what the balance of the force meant. |

For Some reason I always thought of it as numbers, in the begining there was the Ancient Jedi and the Original Sith, then the Old Republic's Jedi and the various incarnations of the Sith Empire, then the Sith dwindled to two causing an imbalance. The massacre of the Jedi seems to me to be sort of a balancing point bring the numbers to Obi-Wan, Yoda, and the various lost Knights (Callista, Echuu) and Darth Vader, Palpatine, and the various Dark Jedi (Jerec, Mara Jade). Into the era of the New Republic there was the New Jedi Order and the various Dark Side movements (Sith Academy, Jerec, Cultists). Episode III with its relevations about the Force will most likely change my mind. _______________ Some friends wear pants, some don't. |

I always thought it was... as many jedis in the universe but only two dark jedis. for example... jedi1+jedi2+jedi3+..... = .5 entity wheres as dark side master and dark side padawan = .5 entity. so any one dark side jedi is more powerful than any one light side jedi, unless there is only 1 or 2 light side jedis left... sort of like in return of the jedi... (if that dosn't make sence im sorry, its hard to type out a complex thought) edit: "let's presume that Darth Maul = Obi-Wan Kenobi There is balance Dooku = Anakin There is still balance Sidious = ...? no more balance The equasion tips over to the Dark Side, and there is imbalance " --dooku and darth maul werent ever on the dark side at the same time. _______________ Spent my days with a woman unkind, smoked my stuff and drank all my wine...

Yes. An amount of evil is in everything. Without that evil, everything would be changed, unbalanced. Imagine a pair of scales, good on one side, evil on the other. The amounts must be equal for there to be a balance. _______________ Padawan to Solitude "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to... suffering" -Jedi Master Yoda "I shall not fear.

Only i will remain." -Bene Gesserit Litany, Dune |

Quote: That was something the Jedi Order seemed not to notice. In Episode One, when they were talking about Anikin being the chosen one, meant to balance out the force, there were more Jedi than Sith. Doesen't this, obviously, mean that Anikin would tun to the Dark Side? All good is not a balance. For balance, some of each (Light side + Dark side) is needed. ah but who says that the Force is in Balance when Dark equals Light? Like Buzz said, it could be that the force is only in Balance when the Dark Side has been defeated, because the Sith use the force as a weapon to empower the worthy. They constantly slaughter each other and everyone they come across. Them as part of a balance? _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Quote: Hmm seems people are missing something here. Anikin does 2 things in the fliks. 1 he turns to the dark side & removes lots of Jedi (or so I'm told  ). 2 and here's the cruncher - He turns to the Light side ... previously thought impossible ... and into the bargin finishes off the sith ... for now.My points are that there are still light and dark siders arround, HE is the chosen one (not luke), and he proves travel between light & dark is not completley a 1 way street (although backing up it can be quite difficult it is possible). To put aside the knocking off of the emperor bit. He's OLD, and aparently frail, bring your grandfather in and I'll squeeze him in the ribs and we will see if he can put up a fight ... or if he croaks in pain - and we know Anakin still has quite a bit of strength as he lifts him over his head ... aparently with ease. (shock may have something to do with it also ) If my grandfather was a sith lord, I bet you couldn't squeeze him :p That's a good point you made on Vader being able to return to the light side.

Quote: I could push you down a ravine with one hand too. Doesn't make me stronger than you, now does it? It wasn't as if the emperor was standing right before the reactor, and vader suddenly pushed him. The emperor had plenty time to react and save himself if he could. The emperor may be old but yoda was older than him when he took on dooku. And Yoda and kenobi wasn't going to face Vader till skywalker grew up. The emperor may be strong but i doubt he's stronger than yoda, and definitely not even in the same league as Darth Vader. The plot of the star wars series are obvious. They all center around skywalkers. In 1, 2, 3, The emperor waited patiently for Anakin skywalker to mature and used him to defeat the jedi order. In 4, 5, 6, Yoda and Kenobi relied on Luke Skywalker to defeat sith. The parallel is so obvious: In "phantom menance" and "a new hope", we are introduced to anakin and luke skywalker. Both with high sensitivity to force but cannot yet do much with it. In "empire strikes back" and "attack of the clones", we see Anakin and Luke skywalker as gifted force users but not yet complete in training. In "return of the jedi" and "revenge of the sith," we'll see both skywalkers completing their skills. So I really don't understand how Vader could be equal to dooku, or why you feel that Sidious is stronger than vader. Having had experience in martial arts(2nd degree black belt in shotokan), I can tell you that even if i was dead drunk standing right on the edge of a cliff, i'd probably be able to pull you down with me. And if I wasn't standing right on the edge, you'd probabably need a gun to force me down. It's never as easy as simply push the person down. You really need to be stronger than that person.

Quote: The Prequel Jedi were overconfident and Arrogant so the "Force" made the darkside stronger. When Anakin kills all the Jedi and then Kills Palpatine the force goes back into balance and they equal out in power...the darkside can't cloud the force anymore like it could in Ep.2 Luke and his New Jedi Order arent arrogant and have a new respect for the Force....FYI I really dumped that down...Im too lazy to explain in detail...lol  actually, that's a good point _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Quote: 1. deception and secrecy are the ways of the sith. Before and during the clonewars(remember at the end of episode 2, clone wars had only started) Darth Sidious spent much effort disguised as the leader of republic to cultivate Anakin's friendship(read articles at www.starwars.com). It is well known in the jedi world that Anakin Skywalker was conceived by the will of force. Obviously, it was Darth Sidious' ultimate plan take Anakin as his apprentice. 2. Once Anakin has converted, he was the main agent hunting down the jedi order. 3. Master Yoda(whose power we witnessed in ep 2) and Master Kenobi was forced to hide untill the skywalkers grew up. Therefore, dooku cannot equal to Anakin in power! Once Anakin completes his training, he will be the most powerful force user to walk the earth. Only a skywalker could defeat him. Otherwise, master yoda and master kenobi wouldn't have had to hid all this time to wait till the skywalkers grow up. Dooku cannot be compared with Anakin! That old pathetic puny of a man! I bet in Episode 3, Anakin kicks his ass. And don't tell me that sidious equals Anakin cuz Anakin killed him without a saber and with his right hand missing. hahaha!

Quote: Well, that can't really be exact. I mean, the "power" of any two Jedi and Sith can't be exactly the same. And you said that Anakin = Dooku, but didn't Dooku beat the crap out of Anakin? Think of Episode 3 and catch my drift Quote: I think I agree with Buzz on this though. It's the whole American struggle between good and evil plot. Everything is better again when the bad guys are gone. Yeah, I have to admit that Buzz's theory isn't bad at all I like it _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Quote: Also, my theory means that Anakin did bring the Force into balance... I disagree as well. Because the force flows through every living being and doesn't limit itself to the Jedi or Sith (people who know how to use the force, which is not the same thing), I consider the prophecy more universal than specific; the eternal struggle of darkness and light in the Star Wars universe. Anakin destroyed the balance with his radical methods in hunting down a great deal of 'lightsiders' (both Jedi and non-Jedi), his son restored the balance. |

does this make sense to a prior messgae? Anakin brought back the balance in some essence but he was shadow not really light or dark. Hence he was a main cause or a flexible part of the equation of balance/inbalance issue  WolfyJowol |

I would disagree. I think that so long as their are Sith in existence the Force is not in balance. Their nature is consumption control domination of the Force. The Sith tap into the raw power of the Force and abuse its power. The Jedi are about controlled usage of the Force. They don't seek to control the power of the Force. They seek control of their usage only. The way of the Jedi is in balance with the Force. So when the destruction of the Sith occurs the Force will return to balance, whether there is Jedi, 2 Jedi, or 100,000 Jedi. With the Sith gone, the balance exists. And as long as the Anakin Skywalker's descendants continue to keep the balance by stopping all threats of the Sith, the Chosen One brings balance to the Force and the Prophecy is fulfilled. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill. Those who seek power and control of others, no matter the level, no matter the intentions, should never be given it. |
