You guys read way to much into it.
I watched the newest star wars, and by the end of it I was thinking....


Cool this guy is the new hans solo:

 

Olo! His name is Hans Olo!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Lmao... I had a "s" too many didnt I?

I like starwars but Im exactly a huge fan :p

Han Solo? better? I swear everyone Ive talked starwars too, always calls him "hans solo" though :p



I assumed that too. Either there were too many force users in the Galaxy, and killing them brought balance to the Force, or the difference in quantity between jedi and sith was the thing bringing unbalance to the Force, again bringing balance to the Force. The corruption and degradation of the jedi was so much that they couldn't even think of that option, or just going along with it anyway. I'm sure this is WAYYYYYY better explained in the old Expanded Universe.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Honestly, I wouldn't put too much stock in it. Creating a prophecy, inventing midichlorians, and making Anakin "space Jesus," to quote Plinkett, were all huge prequel blunders.

At this point I'm ready to write off the entire prequel trilogy as fan fiction and move on with my life.



The Jedi were too much on the light sight, the sith were too much on the dark side. Balance would be so called "grey" jedi, like Qui Gon Jinn, and like Luke eventually ended up as.

By killing off all Jedi and Sith, (except for Luke), you were left with one grey Jedi, thus one individual that was in balance with the force, embracing the light side, but not trying to close of his dark side. I'm guessing that when Luke started training new Jedi (which I assume he did?) he tried to teach them to be in balance of the force, unlike the jedi in the prequels.

He didn't bring balance to the force until he became Darth Vader. But techinically, he still did bring balance to the force. It makes sense to me at least

You guys, I finished watching the The Clone Wars (considered canon by Marvel) episode that got me thinking about this and I think it was explained there. It has nothing to do with what I wrote and nothing to do with killing the Emperor or the Jedi.

Apparently Anakin had to do something in that episode to bring "balance to the Force" and he didn't.

I don't want to spoil anything but the episode is from Season 3 Episode 15.

I saw that episode recently too.  No doubt he is the "chosen one".  Though I remember when I was younger I always thought the "balance" was just starting from scratch.  Which meant getting rid of both Jedi and Sith.  Though unless they have some really good writing and explanations in the next two main movies, Force Awakens really just threw things out there with no thought about any of this.  I feel sorry for the writers of the next movie...

That's absolutely fine. It's not something that should be taken too seriously anyway. ;)
