That was my point that balance is lightside only. ) I did mention "darkside luring deep in the galaxy" but, if they just live on a remote planet and harmlessly watch holotv at home, they won't distort any balance.
no, he totally has a point. george lucas was wrong about his own story. thank god we have EU readers to set him straight.

No, it isn't. It's the Law of Some People on the Internet. Lucas never agreed to it or backed it up anywhere.
All of one thing and none of the other is not what balance means.
Lucas never said that the very existence of the dark side itself was imbalance, nor did he or any of his characters say that the dark side could or should be destroyed.

if george lucas says a thing and you cram your fingers in your ears and go "LA LA LA LA", does that mean he never said that thing?
the quote was posted and cited several times and you are just ignoring it to support your utterly incorrect hypothesis.
again:
"...Which brings us up to the films 4, 5, and 6, in which Anakin's offspring redeem him and allow him to fulfill the prophecy where he brings balance to the Force by doing away with the Sith and getting rid of evil in the universe..." -George Lucas

Actually, I do agree on that last point in general- but defining what 'balance' meant on-screen, even if not literally explained verbally, needed to be done better than it was. There was not enough symbolic representation of his idea. For example, he talks of the Naboo and the Gungans being in a symbiotic relationship, but those are just words. The concept is never shown. They seem entirely separate from what we get to look at.

Agreed. The midichloreans as a feature of the process, rather than the origin sits much better with me. IE: That a higher midichlorean count just shows how receptive you are to the symbiotic thing, rather than it being a power ranking type thing.
