Man, I'm 31 y/o, I've seen a lot and, I'm not all knowing, but one thing's for sure, I have build my way, and I have my own way of seeing things. And this is being average and a bit tolerant. I know what lucas think, or at least what he thinks about the movie he made (thus, I believe it's the way he sees life), but to be honest, I don't give a living c*ap about it. One is supposed to disagree. It's what is called free will. That's kinda saying Witches (the ones who actually were) were adorers of satan. That's pure c*ap adopted by the church and force fed to the ignorants. I've seen people in this forum comparing SW Sidious to WW2 Adolf but, the far greater manipulators of masses, imo, is the church. And that's what I compare to the jedi, the so called saviours of the universe and protectors of peace. This is my opinion and, this kind of discussion would be a hell of a kick to have it live, face to face. There are lots and lots to discuss that can't be just reduced to here. But I'm going far way out of the thread.

Cheers


People tend to believe balance is in having both aspects of the world, and that is true... from a certain point of view.

But the balance Lucas refers to is not balance in creation but balance and harmony in life. The Jedi never seek to absolutely destroy evil, they know it cannot be done. They DO seek to fight it, since that is the purpose of keeping the balance you refer to. To not fight evil would make them less then good. In the PT, the Jedi were fighting what they thought was evil, but were really ignoring and letting slip the true evil. And it tipped the scales.

But also, from Lucas' POV and I tend to agree, Good maintains balance and harmony, whereas evil seeks to destroy it. There is no evil society or group that maintains balance and harmony. It is anathema to what they are. Lucas is trying to prove that the issue of balance isn't as simple as good and evil must survive. He would not make a movie about redemption and conflict if that was the case. Instead, I believe, he is trying to point out that evil seeks to tip the balance, whereas good (real good, not just peaceful, complacent people, like the PT Jedi) seeks to restore it by destroying the evil.

Yup. It's not the balance of 2 Jedi and 2 Sith = Balance, it's the balance of 0 Sith = Woohoo, partay, balance!

Tobad "evil" is usually a necessity for others to do good.

Lets say you stop a dictator end a war sacrifise your live for your country. Invent a lot of new things.

That thing that you mentioned about Aids, there is no way we could ever find a cure to that without there being wars because our technology standard would be a lot lower. Wars force developement on people. In times of peace we start having other things to spend money on.

Just look at NASA for instance, for a long time very incredibly rich and then it started losing money all of a sudden. Cold war was over, space race was won. NASA was no longer necessary, still the technology they developed there, it could have helped a lot of people if they were still funded as much as they were a few dozen years ago.

Sure, I do understand what GL means and I also respect his point of view and plus, it's his masterpiece. I'm just stanting a bit of my opinion to those who are insterested in reading it and debate it. Of course that in nowadays, there's no right and wrong good and evil black on white just there for one to see. Things are a bit more complicated than that. But I'm for instance happy that my opinion opened a window of discussion and had positive (as in logical counter opinions) feed back. That's healthy discussion of subjects between intelegent beings. I don't even care about one or two retarded remarks such as "I've stop reading when you've said that you don't care about what GL says buababaha" Thx to all of you who have brains instead of wind.

I'm confused as to what AIDS and NASA have to do with Sidious... stick out tongue

I have brains, but if you decide to ignore GL, you can't very well have a good argument, seeing as he created just about everything there is to Star Wars.

with that one you just killed yourself. When I say "I don't care", I'm saying that I DO NOT AGREE with him. I like Star Wars, that's one of the reasons I'm here. I'm debating ideas. Different ways of thinking. Understand?

Cheers

There can't be balance without the sith..without chaos, order doesn't exist. Without sith, jedi cannot exist....It'll never be peaceful....so the sith are right. "Peace is a lie"

An answer much shorter but containing the same message I've tried to pass. I very much agree.
