Did Darth Vader redeem himself? Did he actually bring balance to the Force? Is Jedi a terrible religion?

@RickiTarr kind of a half-baked concept. Oh you GOTTA have at least 50% evil. Otherwise things would be uNbAlAnCeD. Who wrote this? Congress?

@RickiTarr Are Jedi / Sith religions or ideologies?

@RickiTarr yes no yes

strangebirds,

@RickiTarr Balance to the Force? Well, the Sith only allowed one master and apprentice and the Clone Wars and Vader killed off most of the Jedi, so it was more balanced after Vader.

LadyDragonfly,

@RickiTarr

Things we know about the force:

  • gives the Jedi his power
  • created by all living things
  • surrounds us
  • penetrates us
  • binds the galaxy together

By definition, this cannot be both "out of balance" and then also at a later date, "returned to balance" by Anakin, unless:

  • Anakin is not alive, or
  • Anakin is not currently in the galaxy.

  • More midi-chlorians means more Force potential.

Yep, Episode 1 ruined the Force too.

@RickiTarr @LadyDragonfly It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together is also the same definition as gravity.

@tmcg @LadyDragonfly But like gravity it doesn't exist if you look at it too closely lol

@RickiTarr
Balance? Yes. Initially there were hundreds of Jedi and 2 sith. He brought the numbers to 2 and 2. 😂

@limebar Bahaha fair

Jackthelad,

@RickiTarr The Jedi were a bit fash and warmongers during the Clone Wars.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Jackthelad Yeah, they seemed pretty bloated and self important.

Jackthelad,

@RickiTarr They claimed to be "peacekeepers" but there wasn't much peace whenever they turned up.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Jackthelad Somehow they funded a Clone Army and didn't realize it lol

davep,

@RickiTarr No idea. I never watched anything after the first two.

@RickiTarr Ignoring the first 2 questions for time reasons because that 3rd question is EVERYTHING.

Yes... yes it is. They can do magic but instead of doing the good deeds, they commit genocide in the form of stealing kids from their peoples to train in their ways.

And you are supposed to thank them for it!

On top of that, by being Sith Light TM they left themselves open to everything the Sith did to them...

They f'ing deserve everything that happened to them...

@RickiTarr I say “it depends” as an answer to all three questions.

@RickiTarr All religions are terrible, including mine.

ALSO it's a religion running significant parts of the government!
