The same but different snoopcester Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM
that something like this is how the "undertrained whiner" won.:P


The Jedi hadn't faced a serious threat in x many years and didn't believe a serious one would arise until it was too late. The Sith knew there was one but were too self confident in their own powers to imagine that threat could defeat them.

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1401 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 968 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 985 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 482 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 664 Views
ouch. *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:10:08 AM 512 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 937 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 618 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 905 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 1162 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1195 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 1022 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 957 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 1068 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 659 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 1059 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 544 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 562 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 867 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 1060 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 672 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 1013 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1112 Views
I think all of that makes a lot of sense. LadyLorraine - 11/08/2010 10:58:12 PM 908 Views
ßelals Girl - 12/08/2010 01:13:20 AM 953 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 1006 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 1027 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 914 Views
It makes sense Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM 990 Views
"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM 800 Views
I think being confident in the Dark Side requires a certain selflessness LadyLorraine - 13/08/2010 03:44:11 AM 998 Views
Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 922 Views
there's also a good chance nossy - 12/08/2010 03:26:47 AM 868 Views
The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 980 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 586 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 406 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 534 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 896 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 922 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 957 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 474 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 605 Views
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 471 Views

I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 959 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 505 Views
Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 850 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 1014 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 808 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 871 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 845 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 866 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 990 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 1073 Views
Force lightning didn't age him. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:50:44 PM 902 Views
Re: Force lightning didn't age him. MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 08:02:28 PM 903 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 833 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 534 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 421 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 812 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1101 Views
