So, while the Jedi have the majority control of the galaxy, there is a prediction that Anakin can "bring balance to the force."
I thought that this pretty obviously meant that since the good guys were already winning, then to fulfill that prophecy he would have to be on the dark side. Am I missing something? Was this somehow not an incredibly stupid oversight? If the light side is in control, balance would entail an overwhelmingly powerful dark force to counterbalance the light.
Alternatively, Yoda is a double agent set on the true balance of the force. He knew all along that Anakin would turn evil, but felt it was important to have light and dark on a more or less even keel. Because he's really a Taoist and a follower of the middle path. What an ass.
If my team has 50 players and is winning while the enemy team has 5 and I say that a new player will bring balance to the game, wouldn't that mean he would join the enemy team?

It might not, because if he sucks a LOAD butthole, than he will bring down the team and that might make the other team stronger.

What they meant by 'bringing balance to the force', is that anikin kills the emperor by throwing him off the deathstar at the end of the series. Since the emperor was the senator/president/king/prime-minister/whatever at ep1, he would have destroyed the jedi regardless of what anikin did, by getting the clones to kill everyone.
So even though anikin kills a lot of jedi, rebels, and kids, he still is seen as a good guy since he kills the emperor. <sarcasm>What lesson have I learned from star wars?... Keep killing people indiscriminately until you kill the bad guy.</sarcasm> :laugh.gif:

What you say may well be true. While he upset the situation initially, he eventually killed the emperor and died with him, and so, without a jedi council or a sith lord, there was a balance. Thank you, good sir, for shedding light.

'fate' was set, he could not change it.
He could only prepare him for what was to become.
I am here for you, Don't be afraid to send me a message.
That .... That's not bringing balance then... That the player would bring balance is the basis of this issue.
