Here is the canon of the movies, endorsed by Lucas:

"Bringing balance to the Force" means that evil is destroyed. There's no subjectivity, Jedi and Sith aren't just two different philosophies, there's no "balance of good and evil."

The Force is supposed to be Light Side. Darth Vader "brought balance to the Force" by killing the Emperor.

Which really annoys me, because there are tons of cool theories and analyses, interpretations and all the rest of it of the Force and the SW universe. But what I said above, as far as Lucas is concerned, is the entirety of it.


Again I ask for a link where he has said this I haven't been able to find one. The starwars insider 74 where wookipedia sent me doesn't seem to exist..

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 938 Views
