good blog, ive seen lots of these but urs is the simplist and i think the most accurate

thanks.

we never truly know how lukes order turns out. i think anakin kill palps and vader balnce without the darkside

i know, but he doesnt teach like the jedi which is outdated. that we do know. and because of that it is better than the old jedi academy.

Good explanation! That really nails the technical aspect of how Anakin restored the balance,but for the emotional aspect..... I gotta say that the man himself,George Lucas stated it best in the epilogue of J.D. Rinzler's Making of Revenge of the Sith.
It's pretty deep coming from Lucas. I won't spoil it for you,but it's all about parents and parents learning compassion and love from their children. True wisdom from the wisest Jedi of all.

thanks. i gotta get the Making of Revenge of the Sith. so much stuff i gotta look up. supposedly it says that Palpatine originally said to Anakin that he manipulated the force to create him, but then Lucas changed his mind and made up the Darth Plagueis thing to create more speculation.

if you want my opinion on Plagueis, Palpatine, and Anakin possibly being a sith creation here's a link to my blog. enjoy: http://blogs.starwars.com/sith-archives66/2

Great blog. I agree with yoiu completly.

thank you!

Very nice blog I agree with it. I also agree with "The New Jedi Order."

I was very confused and wondered Jedis arent supposed to love and then I see Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker making love. So... Im confused right here. So its like they are allowed to have love in the New Jedi Order?

thanks. yes, but they dont want it to get in the way. i can see why it was banned in the old jedi order, but obviously it still didnt help with Anakin as he disobeyed the rule anyway. the jedi realized that you do need love and thats why the new order allows it i guess.

ok cool. thanks for clearing out my confusion lol i had if for a long time since i read vector prime

lol. np

OK. Obviously the NJO (and EU in general) allowed Jedi marrage because it wasn't disallowed in the (cannon) movies at that point in time.
I'm not sure if that makes Jedi more or less likely to become Sith, but I'm pretty sure the NJO and EU allowed it because they started down that path before AOTC. (Where it was explicitely disallowed.)

exactly

Gooooooooood
The Force is strong with this blog. lol
I agree with that complety

I believe that Anakin BRINGS BALANCE by BRINGING Luke into the galaxy. He concieves a son who fulfills the prophecy by changing the 'Chosen One' back to his true purpose and destroys the Sith, also as you have said he creates a more perfect Jedi Order. However we have never seen what the prophecy says so this is all speculation.

exactly. plus the prophecy itself does not have to be real, it could have been made up. - it was written by man, not the gods (or in star wars universe the force). for all we know the sith could have created anakin and made up the prophecy so the jedi try to train him or some of the jedi could have made it up thousands of years ago to make themselves feel better. i even heard something about a sith prophecy similar to the jedi one.

just like with the bible- no1 really fully understands it and knows if its accurate/will happen. i would like to see exactly what the prophecy says and who wrote it and when.

Check out my theory dude:
http://blogs.starwars.com/necromelon/1

when was the prophecy written anyways
how old is the jedi council
if the jedi council is older than the prophecy
wouldnt that mean that the prophecy was made up
and if the the prophecy was older who heard it and wrote it
down for the future jedi generations
for all we know the prophecy was a phony one
and Anakin bringing balance was coincidental
with the prophecy and it was not he who brought balance to the force
but his offspring so the prophecy was wrong because it wasnt
exactly Anakin who brought balance but luke
this is wat i think the prophecy is or isnt

hey john... there is no written account of when the prophecy was made up. the jedi order was founded thousands of years before episode I. not too sure what you mean by the rest of it, but i'll explain it to you later. thanks for commenting.

Well dude, I thought I was clever in thinkin up that theory myself just now, but you beat me to it :P Good work

lol thanks

Good blog Ant. Makes sense, though a bit confusing. Find out what John was talking about.

Thanks for commenting Mike. I will find out what he meant later.

Someone else commented on the original blog on this subject, so I will post his/her comment now. I also wrote a response to that which I will also post in the next comment.

Or, you know at the end of Ep 3 there are two sith and two jedi. Bam insta-balance.

Also, the sith ceased to exist when the emperor and vader died. There were only dark jedi after that. If you read the books, none of them held the sith ideals.

That is besides the point... you are failing to see that balance is not acheived by having the same amount of people on both sides. That would be the dumbest thing I have ever heard! I mean to express that he achieves balance by destroying the corrupt Jedi Order and the Evil Sith Order, giving way to a new more perfect order.

As for the books, I hate EU and never use it in my blogs, but if you go by the books then they only prove my point further!

I probably wouldn't phrase it that way....but essentially I agee.

Jedi dogmatism did facilitate tge Sith plot thus bringing about the need for a balancing. (I wish I knew how old the propecy was...)

Not for nothing, but this might explain (and excuse) Luke using a force choke (perceived dark side power) in Ep 6. He's more objective, open minded he's experienced life and isn't hampered by a Jedi code.
