Regarding Balance & the death of Palpatine & Vader

Ok so Bilb and I were debating this. I think that by Vader tossing Palpatine down the shaft in ROTJ balance was restored at that moment. Bilb however feels differently, she thinks that balance was not restored until both Palpatine AND Vader are died.

What do you think and why?

um shouldnt this be in the IV-VI section?

and i say balance was restored after vader and palpatine died.
Because of how luke used the light and dark sides of the force

Well the reason I posted it here is because I was talking about Anakin fulfilling his destiny as the Chosen one. But it could be moved quite easily. 🙂

Well, here is my take on it..

Anakin's 'Death' in ROTS is figurative, not literal. Its not until he kills Sids and is really truly physically dead that balance is acheived... Once he kills the Emporer balance is achieved but its the potential for turning that is dangerous, and what will DEFINITELY keep him from turning? DEATH

dont you mean rotj?

But if he has returned to the light side and fulfilled his destiny then he's not going back over to the darkside. I just dont see that happeneing.

Thats exactly why I said the POTENTIAL for turning is dangerous. And he does have that potential, he has turned once he may very well do it again, what would he do if he had lived & Luke had died shortly after ROTJ? He would have lost someone dear to him AGAIN.. he doesnt handle that very well...

yes indeed
i woulda said that but i was too lazy to

But see I think that he has finally grasped what exactly it is about the Force that the Jedi tried to teach him. Therefore, I think balance was restored with the death of Sideous and Anakins death was unnecessary in matter of the force so to speak.

That is more than likely true, but you cant ignore the possibility that it could happen. Therefore, he's gotta go....

Why does that have to be a possibility at this point? People can and do change. He can live. 😛

but even if anakin didnt turn to the darkside of the force and lived it means theres a person using the light side of the force and another using the light and dark

which is 2 parts light 1 part dark

thats like not very balanced

hope you understand it cause i barely can

But who's to say he'd be using the dark side of the force had he lived?

whos to say he wouldnt?

i was also saying that luke was using the dark side of the force
