[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2820644, member: 2205"] I didn't used to give a crap about the EU, but the more I think of it, the more I think why not try and accomodate it as much as possible? That's the whole reason I'm moving the timeline forward as much as I am is so that I can write out stuff I don't like without having to actually just pretend like it's not there. And I like the Sith. There hasn't been a Star Wars movie yet that didn't very heavily feature a Sith opponent. [i]Knights of the Old Republic[/i] is all about Sith. Sith [i]feels[/i] so quintessentially Star Wars to me that I think it's a shame not to have them. But that doesn't mean Vader didn't win. For some reason that I can't yet explain, during Vader's time, something different was going on. There had been Sith for millennia prior to that (even according to the movies, if you ignore the EU. Well, at least the novelization of the movies) but they hadn't really had a major impact on anything. For some reason, though, during the era of the movies themselves, something the Sith had been doing was "clouding the Force." Remember that little line, which was never really explained, where Yoda and Mace Windu were talking about their ability to use the Force diminishing? Maybe it was the slow buildup of dark side kludge from thousands of years of Sith. Maybe it was a "vergence in the Force." Maybe Palpatine was some kind of nearly god-like being. Maybe it was Vader himself that caused it. Maybe it was just something that happens once every few tens of thousands of years. So Vader still won. He still brought "balance to the Force." Yeah, I like the idea of there being multiple groups that all claim to be the "true" Jedi. I like the comparison you made earlier of Luke to Martin Luther--sparking a Protestant Reformation, if you will, which by this time has led to all kinds of sects, some barely recognizable as Jedi, and many of them more opposed to each other than to even other, more obvious threats.
