good post man, we need more stuff like that. i like your ideas about the balance, just a little play on it, i think anakin as was meant to be a reset button for the force, if you know what i mean. like after ROTJ, all the true ideas of the sith and te Jedi were gone, only the major symbolic idologies existed, and everyone was left to start again, 1000 years of tradition was gone on both sides. that why i find the EU so interesting cause they jsut dont know whats right and whats wrong. thats one of the best things about traitor and all the NJO and post NJO books.
