    Fans from Starwars have forever taken "brings balance to the force" means destroying the Sith.
    Do you guys ever think that maybe it means making the force between good and evil equal? That no side is stronger than the other?

    I'm still astounded by the fact that Lucas could torpedo Sam Jackson's performance. I mean here's an extremely experienced (by far the most experienced actor of the Prequals), charasmatic actor and he gives us absolutely nothing. Only a limp, jaw-droppingly wooden performance.

    "I sense a plot to destory the Jedi." might be the worst line of all time in terms of delivery + writing. Hot damn, I love star wars, but I just wish that Lucas had kept doing the same as ESB: hiring a director who worked mostly with the actors, so that he could put all his focus on the technical stuff.

    I think some of that might be due to the all of the dialoge being overdubbed.

    Plus Jackson was the worst at using a lightsaber. He is slooooooow. He fights like a girl. Watch him closely in AOTC and ROTS. He is prestty bad. :D

    '

    I was surprised to her him say of the Sith, "yes they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell!!!"

    that was a little surprising.

    that's frankly what i thought it was all along. but that doesn't mesh with the context of what ultimately happens.

    What does Darth Sidious look-like? Does he look like a Jedi? Then why you servin' him like one?! Yes you DID Anakin...YES YOU DID

    It's the lightsaber that says "Bad Muthuaf***er" on it



    those were the lines I was lookin' for from Samuel...priceless

    I have another interpretation. Before Anakin came along, there were two Sith, Sidious and Maul, and there were many Jedi. For whatever reason, there are only two Sith at any particular time. Anakin's actions in episode III lead to there being only two surviving Jedi, Yoda and Obi Wan. That could be the balance that the prophecy talks about.

    i really don't think that's what the jedis mean when they speak of hoping for balance in the force. i hear ya...makes sense...but seems completely out of context for what the jedis are looking to.

    I swear Im not that much of a geek, but i can help to explain...

    beginning with Darth Bane, the "Rule of Two" was started to prevent the Sith from becoming power hungry and killing each other....


    as far as remaining Jedi, I would say it is safe to assume there were SOME rogue Jedis in the galaxy that survived Order 66, thats just an assumption of mine...

    That is a lame rule. You prevent killing each other by enticing/ forcing a new guy (such as Anakin) to kill an older apprentice (Dooku) so you can keep within the rule? Weaken your side before you finish fighting the Jedi ? Assume they started out with 100 Siths, even if there were serious infighting, wouldn't you at least have a couple of Siths on your side instead of the 2 of you fighting against hundreds of Jedi?
    Only Lucas can think of something so stupid.

    Ah but lets not forget that Sidious also had command of 1mill+ clone soldiers.

    Yeah, the jedis' line of thinking had me scratching my head. In episode I, the Jedi are in control. The Sith are basically non-existant. Yet they still think that 'bringing balance to the force' would be a good thing for some reason. I think the Jedi just horribly misinterpreted the prophecy.

    Some probably did, but as someone said earlier, Anakin most likely hunted them down in the few years following episode III. Only Yoda and Obi Wan are around in the last 3 episodes.

    You guys got it all wrong. Anakin did bring balance to the force by killing the emperor, but he didn't kill off the dark side. The dark side still exists. That is why there is a balance. If Anakin didn't kill the Emperor, the dark side would prevail and balance definitely wouldn't occur.

    General Grievous before he got hurt was bad ass. He defeated several Jedi in combat according to the clone wars animation. Someone told me though that Mace Windu badly injured him in battle and that's why he has that cough and has pretty much turned into a fleeing coward.

    that's at the end of the cartoon series...windu throws a little force his way and it hits him directly...he starts coughing at that point, and was a very different character in the move than from the cartoon.
