Does Anakin eventually cause the force to be balanced or does he "balance" the force??

Yep. Sorry.

But it is that simple (except for using the wrong Roman numeral).
No Sith = Balance.

 

ATOC, Mace Windu: "I think it is time that we inform the Senate that our ability to use the Force has diminished".

Interesting, that's right around the time Anakin was looking for/lost his Mother, no?

ROTJ, Emperor Palpatine: "Strange that I have [not felt Luke's presence through the Force]"

Again, nice little coincidence that Palpatine lost some ability to use the Force in that instance as well.

This can go either way ... and it's probably not right for this Forum anyway. I'll ask to see if we can move this to SW Saga.

 

I agree. This is a Saga thread. As such, I'm moving it there.

 

Thanks. So anyone else want to chime in?
