On a bit of a tangent, I'm currently watching my way through all six of the star wars movies. Watching the third tonight probably. But I've got one naggling question concerning the prophecy.
Right, so basically anakin is the chosen one who brings balance to the force right? Thats the prophecy.
The star wars universe when anakin becomes a jedi the good side of the force is all but in control, all but because of the sith influence in the senate.
Now obviously, to bring balance to the force the dark side needs to reenter the picture more significantly.
How could they not see that?Comment

Me, I'd have tossed the snotty bastard of the window right away...
"But he would have brought balance to the Force!"
"Oh, that too." *chugs a thermal grenade after Anakin*
That has allways bugged me... I figure, there needs to be darkness for light to manifest, and balance between dark and light side is good... But Anakin never was particularly powerfull, by the time he was knighted, someone should have done the math, and realized, that in order for him to bring balance to the Force, a lot of Jedi must die...I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"Comment

The force is not balanced while the Jedi are in control... there are hundreds of them and only 2 Sith. Anakin helps to kill all the Jedi bar Yoda and Kenobi, leaving them opposed to Sidious and Vader; balance. Vader then rises up and destroys the Sith and himself, so there are no Jedi or Sith left from the old Republic, leaving Luke to start afresh.Now obviously, to bring balance to the force the dark side needs to reenter the picture more significantly.

okay, I have to get involved. The millenium falcon only goes warp 1. That's just pathetic. And their little laser cannons couldn't do **** to the Enterprise. Case closed.
And as bad as the Star Trek tv series have gone, they've never been this bad:
sorry I had to pull out the big guns. I don't care how much involvement Lucas had, it had the Star Wars name on it.Comment

It's not like Sauron would say, "Hm, the forces of darkness is too strong. We better off a few million orcs to balance things out."

Warp 1? I don't think so. In the Star Trek universe it takes warp capable vessels decades to traverse the galaxy. In Star Wars it takes as long as Lucas wants it to take, which is never more than like a week or two.Originally posted by Dis

Whilst I hate the "niceness" of the Star-Trek Universe the level of technology they have at their disposal make the Empire of the Star Wars Universe appear positively stone-age.
There is little doubt in my mind that the Empire would be obliterated by the munchkins of the Trek Universe. They could probably reconfigure their deflector shields to nulify everything the Empire zapped at them. Then, just simply release the photon torpedoes having phasered to a crisp those prominent shield generators of a Star Destroyer.
Whilst in Star Wars they needed a battle-station the size of a small Moon to obliterate things, the Trekkers would have some blind man make it out of some science-babble.
In summary, Data Vs C3P0, one is useful, the other useless.Comment
