As for the Sith, logically if there's only 2 Sith and many Jedi and the Jedi are sitting pretty as the guardians of the republic and the Sith have to work in secret, then the imbalance is that the Jedi are too powerful. But I don't think that's what George meant by imbalance.

The Dark Side itself is the imbalance. Jedi and Sith aren't two equally valid viewpoints. The Dark Side is intrinsically bad. The imbalance was that the Sith existed and had been growing in power and influence for 1000 years.

Theboost is correct. The imbalace is created by the existence of the Sith. I've heard many people say that 'balance' was achieved when there was 2 sith and 2 Jedi. I don't see 'balance' with the sith clearly in control, blowing up planets, enslaving the galaxy, and generally being oppresive and cruel to one and all while the 2 'balancing' jedi are hiding in fear in backwater planets. The imbalance was created when force-users first began to misuse the force and embraced the dark side.

The EU continuing the Sith is silly and a lame attempt to keep a good set of villians going for the sake of continuing the story. When Vader/Anakin and the emperor die, that is supposed to be the end of the Sith.
