The Jedi Order, – their connection with the Force, they’re considered those who protect and preserve the galaxy. It’s their responsibility to maintain that balance in the Force, they have been the protectors, a powerful force (that is seen in so many stories). But the Jedi – their mission, to bring about the balance of the Force – it was something that they couldn’t fulfill, their role – its been a key aspect of that series.

The Sith
