If you follow the strict cannon for Star Trek, the original series, TNG, DS9, Voyager and all the movies except the JJ Abrahms Movie all are invalid, because the time line changed. Leaving the latest movie and Enterprise as the only valid points of cannon. not much of a franchise.

Ah, but if it weren't for Leia putting the plans into R2, Luke never would've even met Vader, would he?"I take it your health insurance doesn't cover acts of pussy."— Queen of Wands // Something Positive

Anakin *did* bring balance to the Force.
There are only ever 2 Sith (dark)
There were bunches of Jedi (light)
After Anakin slaughtered the younglings and Order 66 was executed, there was only the 2 Sith (Lord Vader nee Anakin & Emperor) and 2 Jedi (Yoda and Ben Kenobi). Is that not balance?Last edited by Vagabond; 02-26-2010, 06:27 PM.

More sway? What political or military might sway? I don't think the 'force' would be concerned with that. But, I don't have a midi-chlorian measure-er handy, but it's possible that the force was balanced. Yoda equal to Emporer and Kenobi equal to Vader, no?
De-polarization doesn't equate to balance.

The only way to be completely balanced would be to have neither posetive or negative portions at all, depolarized.
Moreover, if the force really is 'in everything', the fact that the Emperor and Vader controlled incalculably vast armies and resources through which they could influence far more than 2 jedi in hiding has to count at least a little.
Anyway, Anakin and Luke were both 'chosen ones' in that Anakin dealt the final blow, but only due to the actions of Luke. And it's obvious that it was R2D2's manufacturer's decision to include secure information carrying viewable at the discretion of R2 that allowed Leia to leave the message and for it to be found by precisely the right person.

I recommend that from now on the tech in question be referred to as 'Bubba' who fixed R2 before shipping him because his CPU was 'burnt slap up'.All units: IRENE

Originally posted by Sylvia727 View PostThere are a lot of Star Wars books about what happened to the main cast, with varying degrees of skill and authenticity. I recommend starting with The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn- Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and Last Command. If you lived in my city, I'd loan them to you.

Originally posted by XCashier View PostI believe Ford said, "George, you can write this shit, but you can't say it." Yeah, he can write a great story, but the dialogue...sheesh!
Originally posted by Nyoibo View PostShip Vs. ship or troops Vs. troops?
Either way I think I'm going to have to go with Star Wars though.
