If things are going well, then balance is the last thing you want

There were countless jedi and hardly any sith, if any at all, so obviously the dark side was at its weakest at that point. So to bring balance to the force, it could only mean that either more sith would arise, or lots of jedi would die. Either one of those options seems like it's pretty bad for the entire universe, so I'm really not certain why anyone thought it was a good idea to train Anakin in order to have him fulfill his destiny.

I was under the impression it was widely accepted that Anakin brought balance to the force...

Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy.

Is that really as canon as the movies?

As canon as Han saying the Death Star was too big to be a space station...

The books are entirely canon.

There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions.

"Balance to the Force" is a numbers game. The key is in a comment by Yoda at the end of Ep. 1.

But Obi Wan said Anakin was prophecied to destroy the Sith "not join them!" And he did. Eventually. *NM*

Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM*

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ

This will sound offensive, sorry, but that sounds incredibly dumb.

I don't like your analogy - organisation vs nationality

What if I had said Christians instead of Americans? Then you'd have the comparison you favor. *NM*

No I wouldn't, I'm frankly confused as to why you think I would favour that more

Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people.

I'm not overlooking it. I just don't view the moment as one of "balance achievement".

No, I do. You probably read my tangent about my disagreement with Lucas about Vader's redemption.

The concept of evil in SW (like in WOT) is Zoroastrian, not Taoist

The problem with Star Wars is that smart people analyze it, but... it's pretty simplistic
