To me it is more like he was corrupted into helping al Quaida into almost completely taking down the CIA then years later helping his son, who has been recruited by one of the last couple of surviving CIA guys, to completely destroy al Quaida.
I agree more with Jensy.

"..the one to bring balance to the force" dacole - 08/06/2012 08:42:49 PM 1388 Views
I was under the impression it was widely accepted that Anakin brought balance to the force... Legolas - 08/06/2012 09:36:55 PM 1061 Views
Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy. Kotagg - 08/06/2012 10:48:43 PM 1123 Views
Is that really as canon as the movies? chandra - 09/06/2012 01:29:49 AM 1029 Views
As canon as Han saying the Death Star was too big to be a space station... TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:21:12 PM 894 Views

The books are entirely canon. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 06:46:23 AM 947 Views

There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions. Kotagg - 11/06/2012 07:47:25 PM 960 Views
"Balance to the Force" is a numbers game. The key is in a comment by Yoda at the end of Ep. 1. TaskmasterJack - 08/06/2012 11:04:03 PM 977 Views

But Obi Wan said Anakin was prophecied to destroy the Sith "not join them!" And he did. Eventually. *NM* Cannoli - 11/06/2012 04:38:42 PM 535 Views
Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/06/2012 10:01:16 PM 439 Views
I figured he did it by clearing the deck snoopcester - 08/06/2012 11:33:03 PM 874 Views
If things are going well, then balance is the last thing you want A Deathwatch Guard - 09/06/2012 04:46:37 AM 848 Views

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 943 Views

This will sound offensive, sorry, but that sounds incredibly dumb. TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:09:20 PM 971 Views

What if I had said Christians instead of Americans? Then you'd have the comparison you favor. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 08:44:21 PM 457 Views
No I wouldn't, I'm frankly confused as to why you think I would favour that more snoopcester - 09/06/2012 09:03:28 PM 948 Views
Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people. TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:11:51 AM 817 Views
Even at best you are takling of a multitude of organisations snoopcester - 10/06/2012 08:23:28 AM 862 Views
What you seem to be overlooking... Legolas - 09/06/2012 08:50:30 PM 995 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 09/06/2012 10:17:18 PM 468 Views
I'm not overlooking it. I just don't view the moment as one of "balance achievement". TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:09:45 AM 919 Views
Your other posts don't sound as if you see what I'm getting at here... Legolas - 10/06/2012 12:22:02 AM 828 Views
No, I do. You probably read my tangent about my disagreement with Lucas about Vader's redemption. TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:41:36 AM 980 Views
Also... TaskmasterJack - 10/06/2012 12:18:11 AM 937 Views
Another thing. TaskmasterJack - 09/06/2012 03:13:43 PM 830 Views
