This is the deeper meaning in SW, its beyond good and evil, it totally fits this post modern world we live in, now the whole pattern is more visible in the EU, but given how the force is a blend of eastern tao, and Aurelius's LOGOS I would say thats where Lucas was going.

If you look at the entire history (of SW) you see this vicious circle, the Sith come to power and dominate then the Jedi destroy the Sith, or almost destroy them, then the sith come back, as far as I can tell the force was only in balance for the few hours that only two of each order existed.

This is kinda off-topic, but it's interesting. And I'd note that the Jedi and Sith are still very different. The biggest difference to note is the take on the control of emotion. Also, the fear and paranoia that led to the Rule of Two. The Sith seek power. The Jedi do not.
