[Star Wars] The Jedi have dominated the galaxy for generations. What exactly did Qui-Gon think was going to happen to bring “balance” to the force?

How could bringing balance possibly be good for anyone other than the Sith?

Because the Sith are imbalance.

The whole ‘2 equally valid sides’ is old EU stuff, a misconception due to the lack of oversight.

George Lucas, back in Empire Strikes Back commentary, had the Force as Light Side or doing it wrong. The Dark Side was a sickness, something wrong, disruption. Balance was restoring peace and harmony.

Rather than the Yin/Yang version most people thought of, it was discord vs harmony. To be balanced is to remove discord, not to have as much discord as harmony.

Note that the Jedi are fully aware of this. Anakin was destined to bring balance but he failed and instead made everything worse. Which is what the rest of the council was worried about, prophecy wasn’t particularly well regarded due to it being unreliable in the extreme.
