[So Star Wars pops into my head...]

More political if you ask me...you can't have a pure conservative or pure liberal government as one becomes too restrictive and the other leads to general anarchy.

Sorry bout the potenially offtopic of this post:tomatoface:

Please dont bring politics into this discussion.

We dont want people to start Yelling all over this thread about their political opinions.

[So Star Wars pops into my head...]

I would like to bring the discussion back to the original topic for a while, if that’s OK.

This completely blew my mind.

After having the Star Wars "Rule of Two" for the Sith explained to me (As I was never a fan and know the series only in passing- but strangely enough because they are awesome games I know the KotOR universe far better than I do the movies) The thought that Anakin Skywalker, that is, Darth Vader, would bring "Balance" to the force strikes me thus:

1. Assume there are 2 Sith at any one time.

2. Assume there are >2 Jedi at any one time.

Through episode 3, Anakin Skywalker goes nuts and kills every other Jedi except for Obi Wan and Yoda and turns to the Dark side, that is, turns Sith, so:

2 Sith = 2 Jedi by the end of the 3rd movie.

Where the next 3 go,

2 Jedi vs. 2 Sith

1 Jedi vs. 2 Sith after Obi Wan Dies, but because of Vader's actions, Luke becomes a Jedi, so

2 Jedi vs. 2 Sith

And then in Return of the Jedi Yoda dies, so

1 Jedi vs. 2 Sith

Vader kills Palpatine, so

1 Jedi vs. 1 Sith

And then Vader dies, and can't affect the number of Jedi vs. Sith any more.

Anakin Skywalker has, indeed, brought Balance to the Force! Every time he's acted, he has balanced the equation!

You would think when the Jedi outnumbered the Sith by several thousand they'd not want Anakin around, but clearly they don't teach enough Jedi discrete Mathematics or Logic systems and instead teach them kumbaya and that "balance" is always good.

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.
