On Star Wars: Darth Vader And The Balance Of The Force

Although, Anakin was played robotically by Hayden Christensen
during most of the trilogy prequels, the Star Wars fan will always see

concentrate on the meat of the story.

As predicted by the prophecy, Vader did bring balance to the Force,
but at what price? Was the betrayal and epic legendary battle necessary
for the good of the Republic? The Jedi were loosing parts of their
abilities to use the Force. Does this mean that the balance needed to be struck to heal the Force?
