It makes sense Roland00 Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM
It makes sense for when there are multiple sith at a time (note the rule of two didn't occur until after the Old Republic games, and in the last 100 years after the two trilogies it has been broken completely), two things happened

1) The sith killed each other due to infighting
2) When there was multiple sith the jedi did their best to hunt down the sith.

Now since the rule of two, the jedi believed the sith to be extinct. Furthermore the apprentice never challenges the master till he is confident he will win. If he fails the master kills him for he is too weak and thus not a worthy successor and thus tries to find another apprentice.

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1332 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 880 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 909 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 453 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 633 Views

This. And "Star Wars" is not really trying to be anything more than a campy space opera. & RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/08/2010 06:51:48 PM 1120 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1112 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 948 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 909 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 984 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 629 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 990 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 516 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 532 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 791 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 986 Views
Evil is what throws it out of balance. Why do people persist in thinking it is ever necessary? *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:14:29 PM 643 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 940 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1041 Views

The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 908 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 553 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 379 Views
Because, without it, there's no tension or danger of the Good Guys losing. Goes for all media. *NM* Zalis - 11/08/2010 05:08:34 PM 503 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 827 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 850 Views

In that case, it's because Lucas is a shitty writer with a risible ethical system. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:47:26 AM 446 Views
I don't get your question/rant. Shouldn't you be happy the Sith are stronger? considering your name *NM* Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:21:41 PM 551 Views

Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 784 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 941 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 749 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 810 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 775 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 787 Views
That's all true, but my point is simply that the Jedi are in charge more often than the Sith. Ghavrel - 13/08/2010 01:12:38 AM 919 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 977 Views

No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 771 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 502 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 387 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 748 Views
