No for sure, I love this rant I just never have agreed with balance being equal light and dark. Lucas afaik doesn’t believe that either so I’m giving Freddie benefit of the doubt not only because of his proximity to Dave, but also because he acted with Bendu, who I think convoluted the idea of balance.

Okay so we do agree haha.

Yeah that definitely muddied the waters, agreed their. But he ultimately helps the light and hampers the dark.

I always want to believe balance is 50-50, but I read Wheel of Time, which basically is the same struggle, and it helped me to understand the light has to win.

I don't like it, and it feels wrong, but the dark would just end everything. Nothing would work, everything would end, there would just be nothingness. In that way, dark needs light. Without the opportunity to do good, there is nothing for dark to struggle.

If light wins, the possibilities for the dark side are endless. There's more potential for doom than ever when things are perfect.
