[QUOTE="morrolan, post: 1461927, member: 1847"] Put me in the camp of liking both theories. A little from column a, a little from column b. :) For all practical purposes, I think the spinning plate/healthy body analogy is what most people assume to be the case. After all, Star Wars is nothing if not a pulpy black and white in it morality. But John's argument has some very definite merits. Remember, the Sith found it necessary to 'balance' their own faction by maintaining a constant of 2 members, Master and Apprentice. This was partly to stop corruption/infighting inside the Sith, and partly to maintain secrecy. The Jedi pre purge have the same problems with corruption. Someone is running around behind their backs, ordering up Clone armies. Dooku led a group of Jedi in defection, himself turning to the Dark Side. Even Qui-Gon was chafing at the control of the Temple. So by the end of Episode 6, the Jedi have done just what the Sith did (albeit, not of their own volition). Two left, Luke and Leia, Master and Apprentice. And as a nice bonus, the Sith are gone, removing the cancer from the body-politic. And hey, any coincidence that a pair of orphaned twins founded Rome? oh, btw; my vote for title: Mask of the Sith. [/QUOTE]
