(How) did Anakin bring the Force into balance?

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?

Anyway, post your comments on both these subjects :D
And feel free to give as lot of critiscism as you want :)

well, I don't think he destroyed the Dark Side, since that would make all the other stories after Anakin's death quite a mistake;)

Since they ARE however filled with going from Dark to Light, (Luke, Rosh, ...) I stick with my original theory, that there was a gap,
and the gap meant the following:

Before Anakin:
Light to Dark -> Possible
Dark to Light -> Impossible

and my theory is that Anakin closed the gap, meaning the following (Anakin went from Dark back to Light)

Light to Dark -> Possible
Dark to Light -> Possible

But then, this is just my opinion.

I haven't read much of this thread yet but I have always believed that Anakin brought balance by destroying the Sith. In a similar forum on starwars.com I believe someone had even quoted GL saying this as well. In a nutshell the Darkside is what brought the force out of balance and when that was destroyed balance was restored.

Of course this is all taken from canon SW and not EU. I am actually interested in starting to read some EU series can anyone point me in a good direction??

Well that's my take :) please feel free to comment and criticize as needed ;)

Bail, that sort of makes sense but that sounds exactly like the storyline from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, except with Jedi rather than knights.:P

okay, reasonable theory

Or maybe:

There was a gap between Light and Dark.
This gap would allow you going from Light to Dark, but not vice versa.
What if Anakin closed the gap by going from Dark to light, and thus bringing balance?;)

also a reasonable theory;)

The Sith were ruling the galaxy :empire: at the beginning of the rein of the Empire there were only 2 Jedi left, Yoda & Obi Wan. Anakin went back to the Lightside when he killed Palpatine before he killed Luke. That balanced out once Anakin died leaving 1 Sith (Palpatines son) & 1 Jedi who each started discovering other Force-sensitive beings and training them.:)

What do we actually mean by balance? Balance means something is equal on both sides. Maybe Anakin brings balance to the force by evening out the dark and light. Since there are so many jedi, Anakin's sith power could make up for it. SInce he was lord of the sith. Therefore the force would be balanced between light and dark.

I feel that Obi-wan was allowed to survive the Jedi Purge because he had to right old wrongs by teaching Luke the ways of the force so that Luke could bring Anakin back to the light side which Obi-wan had inteneded to do himself but couldn't. *pants, huffs, and puffs*

I always thought it was Luke who brought the Force into balance. Yet, he didn't really fit the proficy, profocy? profisy? Anyway, I guess Anakin/Vader brought the force back into balance, and Luke was there to start the new begining.


i have some storys in my head about ben skywalker in my storys are all skywalers the chosen one anakin to bring balance to the force luke to start a new beginging for both the siths and the jedis:alliance:;):empire: and ben to destroy the emperor and save the galaxy from
the dark side and from his only love and from him self:( with same feeling like the old movies so maybe they can be a book a game or maybe even a movie maybe ep 7, 8 and 9 i have fix very good story its just 3 now i dont wanna tell more about my storys. i have work for them in 4years.
and anakin is the chosen one i have hear lucas said it on tv

yeah well...

but that was before the imbalance of the force
:)
think about it...


Let's say there once was balance and you could go from light to dark and dark to light
something then happened (who knows what, perhaps sith wars, or something like that) and there was imbalance.
I'd like to see it like this:
You had one big Force, who controlled everything, but when the imbalance came, it was torn apart into two pieces, light and dark
(they used to be there too, now they're just both different)
and only balance could perhaps glue the forces back together

perhaps Anakin glued them together by coming back from dark to light;)

oh well, we'll never know, I guess;)
