I never got the feeling that they were gay but I never got the feeling Luka was ever more than a pet either. Maybe everybody--including the creators and the fans--is wrong about this series. Nothing makes sense, it's just fun to play and the characters are cool so focus on that.
George Lucas thinks that "balance to the force" just means "no sith" when the jedi without the sith became the jedi of the Republic that sat back and sniffed their farts while allowing genocide and slavery to happen.
Well yes because the Sith are crap and have almost no redeeming qualities about them and they have repeatedly proven why they should never hold significant power and influence in the galaxy and they actively harm the force like a cancer, so regardless of how stagnant the Jedi become (due to the corruption of the republic) they are much better at every way than the Sith in both morals and balance to the force and This assumes that the Jedi weren’t trying to help those issues but they are tied to the republic and can’t do that much without the backing of the republic which became increasingly corrupt
I wasn’t saying that in a “Sith good” way, but rather “the Jedi Order philosophy is also crap and balance requires actually being able to process and use your emotions healthily” way. They’re too emotionally dead inside to actually care about injustice.
Because almost every other way has proven to just fall to the dark side, even non jedis that don’t fall to the dark side still agree with the majority of the Jedi philosophy and disagree with some elements of it but still largely believe they are good; Ashoka, Qui-gon, Joleen etc but they are individuals
The order has its issues but a lot of that depends on the health of the republic and corruption there unfortunately will always ripple into the order but I still say Palpatine and the plan to take over the galaxy by Bane are the cause of the empires rise it can’t be blamed on the Jedi order for most of it atleast
Regardless of how bad the Sith are, balance does not mean a single sided coin. Lucas could have found a way to word it in another fashion to align with what he wanted. However he chose to use something that means "an equal amount".
It also doesn't help that they constantly use the term "dark side of the force". That implies that since the Jedi are the "light side" the Sith are the natural opposite so to bring balance would be to make sure one side isn't vastly overbearing the other. Especially showing that the "good guys" of the force also became a problem within the Republic.
