I think being confident in the Dark Side requires a certain selflessness LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 13/08/2010 03:44:11 AM
To have the most power in the Dark Side, you have to give to the dark side. You have to make the sacrifice of self, for Power.

It makes some sense I suppose if you think about it.

Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi? Sidious - 11/08/2010 03:19:11 PM 1322 Views
Not to answer your question... yet... but this is misplaced. Jacob - 11/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 874 Views
To make them a scary menace Camilla - 11/08/2010 03:54:50 PM 899 Views
That's exactly what I was going to say *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:37:00 PM 451 Views
you might even call them.... a "phantom" menace...? *NM* moondog - 12/08/2010 02:10:10 AM 631 Views
ouch. *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:10:08 AM 481 Views

Precisely. Camilla - 12/08/2010 11:00:31 AM 866 Views
You really have to learn to delete your text body *NM* ironclad - 12/08/2010 02:03:35 PM 584 Views
No Camilla - 12/08/2010 03:39:04 PM 828 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 1112 Views
Maybe it has to do with the rule of two? badassashaman - 11/08/2010 04:04:08 PM 1105 Views
This, and there's no maybe about it. Legolas - 11/08/2010 04:25:45 PM 941 Views

I'm not talking about prophecies or theory so much as about the story. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:14:48 PM 905 Views
As I understand it, the prophecy didn't mean that Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:08:20 PM 978 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 11/08/2010 07:41:40 PM 624 Views
We don't even know what the prophecy was... badassashaman - 11/08/2010 06:22:15 PM 981 Views
Agreed *NM* Roland00 - 12/08/2010 05:54:06 AM 515 Views
Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM* Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:27:18 PM 530 Views
Of course, that's completely illogical and *cough* unrealistic. Rebekah - 11/08/2010 07:35:33 PM 787 Views
I'm not arguing that it's dumb, just that that's how it is. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:45:13 PM 981 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 639 Views
Doesn't sound dumb. I agree w/ you. Plus, the Dark Side .... Bookwyrm - 11/08/2010 05:27:39 PM 935 Views
Fair enough Sidious - 11/08/2010 06:12:33 PM 1034 Views
I think all of that makes a lot of sense. LadyLorraine - 11/08/2010 10:58:12 PM 830 Views
ßelals Girl - 12/08/2010 01:13:20 AM 882 Views
Why does that make no sense? Legolas - 12/08/2010 01:33:01 AM 930 Views
It's a good thing they're making an mmorpg Japhy - 12/08/2010 02:29:45 AM 950 Views
If you bring Expanded Universe in it Roland00 - 12/08/2010 02:37:17 AM 848 Views

Not they don't Edited snoopcester - 11/08/2010 04:21:01 PM 872 Views
there's also a good chance nossy - 12/08/2010 03:26:47 AM 790 Views
The same but different snoopcester - 12/08/2010 09:53:10 PM 904 Views
Yeah. Compare the number of years Jedi had power vs. the Sith. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:52:44 AM 551 Views
Isn't there a 600-year Sith empire at some point in the books? *NM* Camilla - 12/08/2010 10:09:49 AM 377 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 500 Views
Fourth wall arguments are stupid. Aemon - 11/08/2010 06:05:22 PM 821 Views
Sorry. Guess I should immerse myself in official SW novels before replying. Zalis - 11/08/2010 10:42:05 PM 843 Views
Nonsense Camilla - 11/08/2010 11:32:19 PM 884 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 444 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 547 Views
It's like you know him! *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:15:16 PM 441 Views
Three reasons Myrdhyn - 11/08/2010 07:25:34 PM 975 Views
I have a feeling people have said this, but I'm too tired to look. nossy - 12/08/2010 03:23:23 AM 875 Views
Because Good is dumb. - Dark Helmet. *NM* Tom - 12/08/2010 03:35:03 AM 468 Views
Force stealth wasn't unique to the Sith Roland00 - 12/08/2010 03:54:23 AM 778 Views
Because they fight with all they have, and fight to kill A Deathwatch Guard - 12/08/2010 04:59:26 AM 934 Views
They aren't. How many times have they actually done things? Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 07:51:23 AM 745 Views
What exactly are you focusing on? MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 11:01:58 AM 806 Views
It doesn't matter. Ghavrel - 12/08/2010 08:18:19 PM 769 Views
Re: It doesn't matter. MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:12 AM 784 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 913 Views
Because they're more powerful MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 10:59:45 AM 974 Views
Force lightning didn't age him. Myrdhyn - 12/08/2010 06:50:44 PM 819 Views
Re: Force lightning didn't age him. MalkierKnight - 12/08/2010 08:02:28 PM 823 Views
No, the Dark Side did actually cause him to deteriorate. Kotagg - 12/08/2010 08:57:41 PM 764 Views
I thought it was something along those lines. *NM* MalkierKnight - 13/08/2010 12:22:45 AM 500 Views
No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/08/2010 12:16:37 AM 385 Views
because the sith actively seek to become more powerful Foxhead - 14/08/2010 12:47:46 AM 739 Views
Also they exist in tension with each other. Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:17:05 PM 1026 Views
