AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
"You were the chosen one! It was said you would destroy The Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to The Force, not leave it in darkness. You were my brother, Anakin," says Obi-Wan...
Dude, where did you dig up that quote? Tell me you have some script some where!
Actually, I'm not taking anything out of context. In Star Wars, "balance" of the Force doesn't mean both sides are equal--it means harmony; serenity; peace. If it meant to be equal, then it would never be balanced, even after Vader kills Palpatine--BECAUSE LUKE, THE LAST JEDI, IS STILL ALIVE!!! Luke would have to kill himself in order for the Force to be "balanced" by your definition (0 Jedi = 0 Sith)(Leia doesn't count as a Jedi, since she is not one). A "balanced" Force means, very simply, that there are NO MORE SITH!!--and that's it.
You see, the Force has never been balanced in the past, because there have always been Sith lurking around. When the Sith wiped themselves out, there was one lone survivor, Darth Bane. He spent many, many years hiding and developing his Force powers of concealment and stealth, while waiting to take an apprentice. Darth Bane reconstructed the Sith order so that only two Sith, one master and one apprentice, would exist at the same time. They would use stealth and deception to hide themselves from the Jedi until it was time to resurface (The Phantom Menace).

Also, there is a ton of info on the jedi at this site. http://www.jedipurge.com I found it linked off supershadow.
To take a quote from that site:
"When Yoda was 177, the Jedi Holocron kept by Shintor Beerus was rediscovered, prophesying the One who would bring Balance to the Force. Yoda was a more formidable Jedi than Evins Croslod and even Aenon Jurtis, the most formidable Jedi before his time. Many considered Yoda to be the fulfillment of the prophecy, but upon examining the Holocron, Yoda could not be the One, for the One would be born of a virgin mother. Yoda was trained by Bontu Sitmus, who in turn had been trained by Tracktius Mutheon."

See, this is where the whole Expanded Universe (EU) gets super cool and super annoying at the same time. People take liberties and write whatever the hell they want. According to the movies, the prophecy does NOT state that the Chosen One will be born of a VIRGIN mother, but simply, born of the Force.
Thanks for the websites! Great links!

2 sith vs 20 Jedi both equal to 1000 watts of force power
You have your balance.
Nenner nenner

Not a bad try, Rob; but not a good one either!
Anyway, it would have to be 1000 Jiga-watts!
