Why were the Jedi so obsessed with the prophecy of balance being brought to the Force? And why did they clearly fail so badly? It’s because balance is easier said than done, and their moral commitments were out of step with the principle of what balance really is. This episode is an explainer on how Rey and Kylo Ren eventually brought balance to the Force, and why the Jedi and Sith both fail when it comes to having a healthy relationship with the emotion of LOVE. This reflection is a new line of episodes leading up to the release of How The Force Can Fix The World, the new book from host Stephen Kent inspired by this very podcast.
