[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim': [QB] Jason claimed: [QUOTE]Fuuuck that.[/QUOTE]Actually, after looking at other Star Wars stories and plots, I've come to appreciate the distinctions between Jedi and Sith. Getting someone like Vader to feel mercy, pity, obligation (to save his son) and sacrifice is an extremely big thing where the ethics of the Star Wars mythos is concerned. Deaths and losses are irrelevant in the universe of Star Wars, the state of your soul and mind is what the Force works through, it seems. Taking such a step as Vader did was momentous. AndrewR: [QUOTE]But what was the imbalance to begin with - they never really established this firmly in Episode 1.[/QUOTE]I would say that the state of the galaxy during the last years of the Old Republic was one of a greatly dispersed amount of Light Force users and a small number of very powerful Dark Force users, not having had a "stirring of the pot" for a great many generations. Similar to the state of Middle Earth during the watchful peace between Sauron's first downfall and his final one, the Jedi and the Republic had come a long way but were still haunted by several different internal and external threats, predominantly the dormant Sith. After Vader's, Yoda's and Palpatine's deaths in the course of only a few days, the balance of the Force was probably shifted a great deal, wiping the slate clean, as it were. I could compare Yoda and Palpatine to Gandalf and Sauron/The Balrog. Their might and prowess was considerable but they were not supposed to stay and retain their power indefinately and after their "passing" the pieces of the board could be allowed to shift a great deal.
