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 1334 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 882 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 910 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
ouch. *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:10:08 AM 485 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 874 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 587 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 834 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 1122 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1113 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 949 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 912 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 986 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 991 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 517 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 533 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 792 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 987 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 942 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1043 Views
I think all of that makes a lot of sense. LadyLorraine - 11/08/2010 10:58:12 PM 836 Views
ßelals Girl - 12/08/2010 01:13:20 AM 894 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 940 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 958 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 853 Views
It makes sense Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:51:28 AM 908 Views
"One to embody power. The other to crave it." Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:46:26 AM 736 Views
I think being confident in the Dark Side requires a certain selflessness LadyLorraine - 13/08/2010 03:44:11 AM 932 Views
Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 879 Views
there's also a good chance nossy - 12/08/2010 03:26:47 AM 796 Views
The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 911 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 554 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 380 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 504 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 828 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 851 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 890 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
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 443 Views

I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 882 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 471 Views
Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 786 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 943 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 751 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 811 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 777 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 789 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 920 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 979 Views
Force lightning didn't age him. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:50:44 PM 830 Views
Re: Force lightning didn't age him. MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 08:02:28 PM 829 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 773 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 388 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 750 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1035 Views
