"a Prophecy that Misread, could have been"

But the word balance mean that, Balance, not tilted towards one side (good) or tilted towards the other (bad). Its Balanced not unbalanced or biased.

No, but imo the jedi f-ed thing up a lot too, like during the Mando wars and the Clone Wars. Balance (in general) means both sides are equal, with niether one outcompeting the other.

How is it balanced by only having one side in control? Its like a dictatorship, where everythign is happy because everone is forced to have one opinion. This also breeds rebellion, which could be molded to the perspectvie of sith/darksiders, construed to be "unbalancing" from the jedi point of view.

I like the word stable better, but then why did Lucas use "balance"?

The Jedi had stupid moments, but the Dark Side held a tendency to start wars, hence causing imbalance (or preferably, "instability"😉 in the galaxy and the Force.

so i guess when someone has a 'balanced diet' it means that they eat 50% healthy food and 50% junk food. by fanboy logic, since obviously the only definition of balance is equal opposites and not a state of harmony and peace.

no, thats not even remotely related to what we are talking about.

it has everything to do with lucas's story, and what you are talking about is not even remotely related to the resolution of the saga. so who's being inappropriate?

read my first post, thats all i'm going to say..

i'll just read george lucas' explanation since the source is slightly more reliable.

slight...but i think i am a cooler person, so trust me, i think i am thinking correctly, whoever that george lucas person is, he's not smart enough to write star wars...😛

Again, you are stuck in this literal (and useless) definition of balance. Read my posts again.

yeah. dont read mine. just read ush's

I read them all twice, and however a great statement it is, i still must concurr with the others...

perhaps jack and jill actually didnt go up the hill, but rather went skiing, and it was in fact jack who came tumbling after...since after all nursery rhymes are also 'art' and subject to the same absolute skepticism.

Was it true that the profecy was misread, heres what i think:

Anakin was to bring BALANCE to the force, he kills all but two jedi, and its just him and palps, making two jedi versus two sith.
Obiwan Trains luke to use the force and makes three jedi and two sith, Ergo anakin steps in and kills Obiwan.
yoda and luke versus sids and vader, then yoda dies. Luke fights sids and vader kills sids making is one sith versus one jedi, then vader dies and luke starts a jedi order of his own, but we realize there's more evil in the galaxy, so on so forth and (ect.)

What Balance to the force means is peace. With Sith Lords there is no peace. With Jedi they focus on keeping the peace. So by having Sith Lords the balance is thrown off. Basically to keep it in balance no Sith can alive which Anakin did at the end of Return of the Jedi.

For the hell of it, I'll reitirate:

In Star Wars, "Balance of the Force" means "Stability of the Force." A balanced diet to us is not 50% healthy food and 50% junk food. A balanced Force is not 50% Dark Side and 50% Light Side. Star Wars is a work of art, but the creator of it has intended it to be seen a certain way, where as the Mona Lisa or a Van Gogh or whatever was meant to be seen as different things by different people.

In a canoe, by literal fanboy terms, balanced could imply that, if both people are standing up and shaking the boat, it won't capsize because it's being wobbled evenly at both ends. Wrong. The only balance and stability you'll receive from that is a couple of waterlogged corpses.

Same with the Force. On the magic, all-encompasing scales of fanboy literalism, you have Light Side on one end, and Dark on the other. The Light Side likes to stand still, but the Dark Side likes to jump up and down and throw things at the Light, causing imbalance on the scale. If the Light Side booted the Dark off the scale, it would be free to dominate the scale and keep it balanced and stable.

The Dark Side rocks the boat and causes imbalance and instability.

hey PVS IT is a funny movie, cause its not scary, but it was a good book.

Has anyone even seen the exact words of the prophecy?

Wasn't more of a rumour of a prophesy?

they only talked about it...

during the entire episode one.

I think Lucas many times has refered to Anakin as the chosen one since he brought balence to the force by killing palps and therefore destroying the darkside.
