Класс! Прямо мои мысли читаете! Совершенно верное наблюдение. А если так, то, наверное, не стоит бесконечно рассказывать однотипные истории на тему "джедаи перебили ситхов" или "ситхи перебили джедаев", а потом пришел избранный и всем навалял - и своим, и чужим. Выше головы не прыгнешь (это я о сценаристах и режиссерах).

Шел 2019 год. Продолжали всплывать фанатские трактовки баланса, пережеванные еще в 2005 году. Хотя Лукас уже не раз и не два комментировал свою задумку.

"The overriding philosophy in Episode I—and in all the Star Wars movies, for that matter—is the balance between good and evil." -George Lucas, quoted in L. Bouzereau, Star Wars: The Making of Episode I, 1999

"In each of us we to have balance these emotions, and in the Star Wars saga the most important point is balance, balance between everything." -George Lucas, Time Magazine article, 2002

"The idea of positive and negative, that there are two sides to an entity, a push and a pull, a yin and a yang, and the struggle between the two sides are issues of nature that I wanted to include in the film." -George Lucas, quoted in L. Bouzereau, Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays

"The Force has two sides - [Light and Dark]. It is not a[n inherently] malevolent or a benevolent thing. It has a bad side to it, involving hate and fear, and it has a good side, involving love, charity, fairness and hope." -George Lucas, Times Magazine, 1980

"I wanted to have this mythological footing because I was basing the films on the idea that the Force has two sides, the good side, the evil side, and they both need to be there. Most religions are built on that, whether it's called yin and yang, God and the devil—everything is built on the push-pull tension created by two sides of the equation. Right from the very beginning, that was the key issue in Star Wars." -George Lucas, Times Magazine, 2002

Энакин восстановил баланс в Эпизоде VI, убив Палпатина.
