to be honest i don't take too much from either the movies or the EU as the be all and end all of it. i like the universe it's set in and how things work that's it. i was just saying that to bring balance to the force isn't really to just change sides a few times. if that was the case the french would of brought balance to ww2. my thinking on it is balance is being able to use both to the full advantage of helping the universe advance from it's current state. palpy and vader being killed wouldn't of suddenly made the universe a better and brighter place to live in. having an entire invasion force pretty much stop and want to settle down and make amends seems a touch more like it to me
