I would like to bring the discussion back to the original topic for a while, if that’s OK.
When I read this thread’s first post I thought to myself WOW… I wonder if the movie makers had that connection in mind when they made the films.
ANYWAY.
I should start by saying that as far as I’m concerned, the entire family of Skywalkers brought balance to the force. Both Luke and Anakin/Vader took courses of action which determined the final bringing of balance to The Force.
For those of you who say bringing balance to the force has nothing to do with mathematics, I must say I disagree with you.
We all should know that The Force has two sides light and dark. It seems to be a system where one side complements the other. By killing all the sith a whole chunk of the force would be annihilated.
The choice of the word balance in the phrase is important here.
The line is not presented as “Bring peace to The Force” or “Bring order to The Force.”
It is stated “Bring balance to The Force.” A word like balance can only be used to describe stability between two sides of something.
Think about A balance for a moment. Visualize The Dark Side of The Force on one end of the balance and The Light Side of The Force on the other. If all the sith are eliminated The Light Side would have a larger quantity than the other side, unbalancing The Force and possibly resulting disastrous consequences.
I basically
agree with the main content of the first post.
