[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1459248, member: 4779"] I totally agree about good winning out in the end. We already know how it ends, good wins. But good will not win the at the end of Episode III, and that's all I'm talking about with the whole balance thing. As far as the Campbell stuff goes, I've only read some of his writing so I'm no expert but it seems that it follows the path of the Hero pretty well. I could be wrong. And I wasn't saying that Star Wars is grim and gritty. I'm saying that is has a darkness to it that many people don't acknowledge. That darkness will be fully realized, IMO in this final prequel chapter. It's already being advertised as such by Lucas. I fully admit that I may be reading into things a bit, but that is part of the fun of this. I also think that the movies stand up pretty well to being viewed from multiple angles. This could, again, just be me. I can't wait. The Purge is what I've been waiting to see since I first learned of it, oh so many years ago. So, in keeping with the prequel trilogy's somewhat obtuse titles, "Balance of the Force" could very well work. I don't think it will actually be that, but in my mind and to my reasoning it all makes sense. And this is some of the fun of it. The speculation and mystery has always been one of my favorite things about Star Wars. It's too bad I wasn't old enough to do it for the original trilogy. :) [/QUOTE]
