(How) did Anakin bring the Force into balance?

There has been a lot of discussion about this on the web and fansites, and stuff, so here:
How did you think Anakin brought the Force into balance?
Some people say it was because he killed the last two Sith alive.
Others say it was because he slaughtered the Jedi.
I say it was this:
He didn't only kill every Jedi, he also killed every Sith.
The universe would have to start all over again.
No Jedi... No Sith...
This would of course have a tremendous effect on the Jedi after this.
In the Old Republic, the Jedi were arrogant, because they thought they thought they were invincible.
Now they know they can very easy be destroyed
So that's why you have better Jedi, that are sure of themselves, but aren't overconfident.

And now an even bigger headbreaker:
Was Anakin supposed to go to the Dark Side? Was it meant to happen, or was it one of the possibilities that could happen?

I think he was supposed to go to the Dark Side, the Force had that in mind for him. Because, the way I look at it, the Jedi where arrogant and needed to be destroyed. They where to sure of themselves, according to Yoda. And they should be, because for over a thousand years, there were no enemies that could stand against a Jedi, so the Jedi became (in the eyes of the normal man) invincible. That's why when kids are trained to be a Jedi, they expect to be so powerful... Which brings arrogance, right?

So the Jedi that weren't arrogant (like Yoda, Echuu-Shen John) escape the slaughter miraculously :). But I'm still guessing why Obi-Wan was allowed to be alive. Was it because he had something to do in his life? Or maybe he had to set right a fault he once made?
And if you think he wasn't arrogant, then look at this: in Ep1 he said: "I am ready to face the trials". Arrogant, right?
In Ep1 he thought he was ready to take on a Padawan of his own. And he thought he could instruct him just as wel as master Yoda, very arrogant, right?

Anyway, post your comments on both these subjects :D
And feel free to give as lot of critiscism as you want :)

Charly: I personally believe that he brought balance by eliminating both the Jedi and Sith teachings. You see Luke using Force Choke in Ep VI.

I think Luke was more allowing of using the Dark Side ...
Maybe this was balance?

As a Jedi, he killed Sith, but he, during the process, turned to the Dark Side. While on the Dark Side, Obi-Wan who later died, Yoda who later died, and Luke and Leia (who obviously barely had the Force heh) were still alive.

How could he bring balance by killing both factions when he himself was of the dark side? Wouldn't that just tip the balance over to the dark side?

Well said. All except the "Vader coulda killed Ob-Wan and Yoda in a heart beat" He tried to hunt them down. But could not find them. I heard that Yoda never mentions his home planet to be Dagobah.

Ok I haven't read through this whole post, and by no means am I anywhere near a starwars expert - hell I don't even think I own anything starwars except for this game and a couple movies.

But it makes sense to me.

In the beginning the Light side is on top of things. Then Ani turns and whipes them out (right?). So now the Dark side controls the force.

But Ani balances this out in Return of the Jedi. Who killed the emperor? No it wasn't Luke, it was Ani who threw the old fart over the railing. Isn't that bringing balance to the force?


It's close, the jedi had been in power for over a millenia, and the sith secretly built power. So many users where dipping into the light side of the force that the jedi where becoming "Blind" so they did not notice the sith where still operating. By the time they new about the sith the shroud of the dark side had fallen completly blinding the jedi to the future and present, The prophecy is a millenia old saying a boy will bring balance, so Anakin killed off the jedi, except 2 eliminating light, so luke would be trained this was will of the force vader woulda killed obi and yoda in a heart beat. Luke is trained and his destiny is to bring anikin back to complete balancing the force by eliminating the sith.. Anakin is reborn vader dead, he kills palpintine then dies after leaving luke the remaining jedi, and the force balanced not thousands of people abusing it and the shroud of the dark side lifted.

Aye, I'm sure the Jedi didn't like how it was done, but it was done.
I don't think the force will ever be in total balance. There will always be Jedi who fall to the Dark Side. Someone can always be corrupted with the thought of power.

my theory is, that the jedi are just stupid. just think: if there needs to be someone who brings balance to the force, there must be a disbalanced force before. so, if you watch the situation of the jedi: there were no sith since 1000 years. In what direction is the force disbalanced? to the light side of course.
but if ani brings now balance to the force, the situation of the jedi can only be more bad as it was before. so they can only loose by fullfilling the prophecy. so, its the right punnish for the stupid jedi :P

greetings,
daid

Lol, there's this little thing called Star Wars connections at the start of my AOTC video, and it's R2 and 3PO taking you through the story in 5 minutes, and they say that he brought balance to the force by killing the Emporer. So if you read my post... I was right (in some parts)!! :P

hmm... in some way, i agree with Rouge about Luke brining the force into balance. It was his fault that Vader/Anakin killed the last sith

Edit: 100 % agree with mojo. I'm never gonna sleep either(just kidn) i belive that too.
