Though I'd imagine by the standards Larry seems to apply to Tolkien, this whole conversation is deeply racist anyway with the whole people with a darker skin tone being the dark side thing...
We could replace Jedi with Amnesty International and Sith with Apple though, that is only likely to offend Apple fans and they deserve it.

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*
