There has been a lot of discussion about this on the web and fansites, and stuff, so here: How did you think Anakin brought the Force into balance? Some people say it was because he killed the last two Sith alive. Others say it was because he slaughtered the Jedi. I say it was this: He didn't only kill every Jedi, he also killed every Sith. The universe would have to start all over again. No Jedi... No Sith... This would of course have a tremendous effect on the Jedi after this. In the Old Republic, the Jedi were arrogant, because they thought they thought they were invincible. Now they know they can very easy be destroyed So that's why you have better Jedi, that are sure of themselves, but aren't overconfident. And now an even bigger headbreaker: Was Anakin supposed to go to the Dark Side? Was it meant to happen, or was it one of the possibilities that could happen? I think he was supposed to go to the Dark Side, the Force had that in mind for him. Because, the way I look at it, the Jedi where arrogant and needed to be destroyed. They where to sure of themselves, according to Yoda. And they should be, because for over a thousand years, there were no enemies that could stand against a Jedi, so the Jedi became (in the eyes of the normal man) invincible. That's why when kids are trained to be a Jedi, they expect to be so powerful... Which brings arrogance, right? So the Jedi that weren't arrogant (like Yoda, Echuu-Shen John) escape the slaughter miraculously  . But I'm still guessing why Obi-Wan was allowed to be alive. Was it because he had something to do in his life? Or maybe he had to set right a fault he once made? And if you think he wasn't arrogant, then look at this: in Ep1 he said: "I am ready to face the trials". Arrogant, right? In Ep1 he thought he was ready to take on a Padawan of his own. And he thought he could instruct him just as wel as master Yoda, very arrogant, right?

He brought the Force to balance by killing Palpatine and bringing the Sith line to an end. Also, if you want to get the technical details about it you may want to read the books.

Vader killed Obi-1 And I think that Anakin killed the last of the Sith, and so he gave Luke the oppertonity to start all over again, and to combine the light and Dark side, like it was in the beginning, to balace it out in the person itself. But then again, there are always people who want to have more power and let go of the Light side and are pure Dark... _______________ One night, I was lying in my bed, looking up at the stars and I said to myself: "Where the h*** is my ceiling?! |

When the Jedi were wiped out, there were about 2 well known Jedi (Obi Wan and Yoda) and 2 sith lords (The Emperor and Darth Vader), so technically the force was in balance. But we all know the force flows through everything, and all creatures, regardless of whether they know it or not, are somewhat predisposed to a side of the force. I think what the prophecy means is that Anakin will restore order to the force, as opposed to balancing it out. The Sith are devoted to using the power of the force to create chaos and discord throughout the galaxy. It is through the sith that the force is out of balance, therefore, anakin kills the emperor and himself, destroying the last remaining sith lords, and restoring order to the force.

The Force was out of balance, whether from the moment when the prophecy of the chosen one first started or some later event. The Emperor was clouding the Force. So when Anakin killed the Emperor he could have brought the Force into balance because he destroyed the Emperor's clouding presence or because he eliminated the last Sith Lord. And the Emperor was the last Sith Lord because Vader was destroyed the moment Anakin moved to kill the Emperor. Another way to look at it is a balancing act. The scales are constantly being tipped either way. So Anakin's offspring could continue to bring the Force into balance and keep it there. Prophecies are always open to interpretation and to limit what you think they means will likely make you miss what they make happen. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I stand with my idea for those that are too lazy to browse backwards, this is it: According to Yoda, it was impossible to go from Dark to Light So, it is reasonable to assume that there is a gap between the two Force sides When Anakin came back from Dark to Light, he effectively closed the gap, since after his death, it was very easy to go back and forth between the two sides. Just look at Luke, even he fell to the Dark Side and just came back. Rosh, fell to the Dark Side and just came back. A lot of people could fall to the Dark Side and just come back. So I think it was the gap that closed... _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website! Quote: I try to have fun with my friends and try to make a difference as best I can.

JavaGuy has a point there. but if we check the history of the Jedi and the Sith, the Jedi were there first, and the Sith came from Jedi that were fallen to the violent side of themselfs. So there was a good balance first, when there were alone Jedi's. But it's also a fight between good and evil. There was peace when there were no sith, but they wanted more power and began fighting for it, even against other Sith, So I think that the Sith AND Dark Side are at a minimum is the balance in the force. _______________ One night, I was lying in my bed, looking up at the stars and I said to myself: "Where the h*** is my ceiling?! |
