No, I do. You probably read my tangent about my disagreement with Lucas about Vader's redemption. TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 10/06/2012 12:41:36 AM

It didn't directly have anything to do with the balance discussion, just one other thing I disagree with Lucas on that pertained to Anakin.

What I mean is that, according to this view of the prophecy, all his actions prior to the end of RotJ are, well, completely left out of the balance, so to speak. It's not a matter of a comparatively small thing supposedly balancing out a ton of crimes. Rather, it's a matter of the prophecy having far less relevancy than people assumed, and predicting one specific action while overlooking everything else.

So the only thing that is a "balance achievement" is the moment when Anakin/Vader takes out the Sith Lord.


Yes, as I've said, I see the path of Lucas' train of thought. I just disagree with the track his train was riding on.

Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy. - 08/06/2012 10:48:43 PM 1116 Views

If things are going well, then balance is the last thing you want - 09/06/2012 04:46:37 AM 841 Views
Are you saying there are plot holes in Star Wars? Never! *NM* - 09/06/2012 06:09:59 AM 575 Views
I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 938 Views
This will sound offensive, sorry, but that sounds incredibly dumb. - 09/06/2012 03:09:20 PM 965 Views

I'm not overlooking it. I just don't view the moment as one of "balance achievement". - 10/06/2012 12:09:45 AM 912 Views
