In what ways did Anakin bring balance to the force

ok everybody has thier different theory as to how he brought balance mine is he killed all of the arrogant dumbass jedi most say its when he killed palps

he killed most jedi so there were two jedi and two sith left, that's balance

I would say it was when he killed Palps, but i'm an idiot.

he killed most jedi so there were two jedi and two sith left, that's balance



thats what I always say...but I ploished it up to sound more convincing lol

agree to all

i think he started bringing balance, but that he's one piece of it.

He brings the Sith out from the shadows, kills the jedi. then he kills the sith.
then his son starts a new jedi-order, one that isn't stuck in tradition (like the original order), but to have them live the force more naturally.

I think what you say makes a lot of sense.

yeah im going with that because then the jedi would be harder to turn because they can also have a normal life but then again they could be turned by the reason anakin was

it's just one vision on the topic, only lucas knows what the real reason is

i think lucas should speak on these forums for like a couple hours or something that would be great

I agree, but it ain't ever gonna happen.

yeah, does he even know about our existence?

(anyone saw the simpson episode where Bart and Lisa go to Skywalker-ranch to complain about the bad movies to 'little' george lucas)

Yeah, cosmic wars was bad!

when the AT-AT enters and starts to read the newspaper.

Oh, I saw that. Hilarious at some parts. Jim Jam...

that is a great episode

Indeed it is!

I want Jim Jam cereal.

I want Jar Jar to die, why do we never get what we want!

To the original question:

I could be missing something, but is it possible that he wasn't actually the one supposed to bring balance to the force?

I had heard a theory that the Prophecy meants Luke and not Anakin...they were a little ahead on the whole "The One" thing

That is plausible.

he was created by anakin

Indeed he was.

*rock the casbah*

very possible
by the way i like that episode espescially when at the end of the movie which didnt really have an ending comic book guys like "worst episode ever....i will only see it 3 more times.....today

Yeah that was funny.

but, if anakin didn't turn to the dark side. he would never have been in the position to destroy the emperor

can't really say that for certain.

it is said in "children of the jedi" i believe. that only vader was in the position to destroy palpatine

could he not have done it when he ignited his lightsaber in palpatine's office?

i think palpatine was prepared for that, he already implied to anakin that he was the only one who could save padme

thats true in more ways than one he encouraged anakin to believe she would die without his help, causing anakin to turn, causing padme's death

Palps is so clever!

in the end not clever enough like the ep 3 book and i quote palps "sometimes it's the ones we care about the most that we cannot see"

so profound.

o yeah

he's great ain't he? palps i mean.

yeah pretty hidious, sidious

lol, i like that.

good! palps is a man of insider tricks and sneaky manipulations!

he dominated the universe from since he became Supreme Chancellor and only 15 to 20 years later the jedi realised they where the tool of the sith

Palps is an inspiration to us all.

palps is our rolemodel

damn right!

we are eternally in his debt

It pains me to admit that i am in somebody's debt, but yes, you are right.

yes in debt we are

only through the dark side we can repay this debt

and in the process achieve what he could not

and dedicate it as an eternal monument to him

and not make his mistakes

and by that, show him that he is our rolemodel

*goes to build a Palpatine-shrine*

yeah a bronze bust

A marble one!

both a marble statue and a bronze bust or vice versa

I nominate white gold.

platinum

with diamond eyes

A diamond shrine for the bust

Anakin brought balance to the Force by destroying Sidious in "The Return Of The Jedi"..

That's a typical prophethy with no content, like:

One time one man will do one thing that will change a lot for some time.

You can also put up the idea yoda or obi or mace or even palpetine would be the one that brought balance to the force and start discussing through which actions they did that :w00t:

Yes you could,but the story isn't about them.

in many ways did he balance the force

the story revolves around the skywalkers, so they are the ones that will probately be the ones mentionned in the prophecy

specifically?

The basic premise of the prophecy was that a being would be born of the Force, seemingly brought into the world simply by the presence of midi-chlorians. The Chosen One would be born to a mother who was not naturally impregnated, a conception enacted by the will of the Force. This being would be incredibly connected to the Force, with a high level of skills even before training. This balance, however, could only be achieved after a period in which the Dark Side of the Force grew strong. According to the larger prophecy, the dark times would literally unfold across the galaxy, and the Chosen One would be born in their midst. Eventually, the prophecy proclaimed that the Chosen One will bring balance to the Force throughout the galaxy. Jedi historians often overlooked the fact that the legend never said anything about the Chosen One actually being a Jedi Knight. The legend simply stated that the Chosen One would bring balance to the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn rightly believed that he had found the Chosen One when he discovered Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine. The Jedi Order, however, refused to fully accept the presence of Anakin as the Chosen One. The Jedi Council had insulated itself so far from the galaxy that they were unaware of the rise to power of Darth Sidious. Ultimately, Qui-Gon was proven correct, although the entire galaxy suffered for it. Anakin eventually became Darth Vader, and the Jedi Knights were nearly exterminated, leaving two Sith - Darth Sidious and Darth Vader - and two Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. However, Sidious' power continued to grow, a factor not explicitly covered in the legends. As the Emperor gained power, first Obi-Wan and then Yoda died, leaving just Anakin's son Luke as the sole Jedi Knight. Luke's strength in the Force brought Anakin into contact with his son at the Battle of Endor, where Anakin fulfilled his destiny by destroying Darth Sidious. The deaths of Yoda and Sidious, along with Anakin's return to the Light Side of the Force, eliminated the imbalance caused years earlier. Luke's own new Jedi Order recognized that the Force was not simply light and dark, but a single entity comprised of both good and evil.
