Well Eric, I'm not so sure. I don't really think Palaptine/Sidious/Emperor
has much balance in mind. I really think all he's out for is pure power. I
mean, really, when he adopts the Emperor mantle, he doesn't seem to be
thinking much about balance. Instead, he rules everything with an iron
fist. I don't know, maybe you're right, but it seems a bit odd...
Interesting idea, though.
And I just came back from Target; got the last one there. The box was a
little mutilated, but nothing I can't live with.
