Star Wars is real; which one calls to you — Dark side or Light side?
- Thread starter Kinggroin
- Start date
I have elements of both. I've always been tightly-wound and have had a short fuse, but at the same time what I really crave is peace of mind and a tranquility of being. Probably try light and get sucked into dark when some prick pulls in front of me in traffic or I have to fight Gravelord Nito again.
Both the old and new canon seem to suggest that there's ways of getting at that for the dark side, too.
Ol boy Sheev seems to have found his own workaround just in time for the new flick!
Yeah, but most of us have it in us to get pretty bad, even if not "kill the younglings" bad.
I am a Jedi. I am heroic, honorable, and brave. I defend the weak and the innocent and those who cannot defend themselves. I will never falter from the path of good. The light is my ally and the darkness shall be--
*some hot evil Sith or Inquisitor chick in black leather and heels shows up*
Oh no
*some hot evil Sith or Inquisitor chick in black leather and heels shows up*
Oh no
I'd end up dying without getting either of the good endings, just like all my Knights of the Old Republic playthroughs.
The Dark Side aesthetic is dope, no doubt, but they're all such petty dweebs. Like it's cool to be powerful but none of them actually use that power for anything, it's and end in itself.
It's not like Sheev was drinking eighteen lightyear-old Scotch and hanging out with Twilek supermodels or anything. He just hung out in aluminum hallways looking sour and lonely.

Aren't the Jedi basically forced celibacy? good luck with that
I guess you can be light side and still fuck. What are the rules here, George?

I don't even particularly want to do space crimes or nothing, I just think a pseudo religious cop cult telling me I can't justifiably feel hate or love can go ahead and eat my whole ass. Crown to crease.
Light
Along with with my policy of "don't be a dick" I like that I can become one with the force if I don't go to the dark side.

I feel like some people misunderstood the point of the Bendu in Rebels. He showed how fucking stupid it is to try and be "neutral" between Light and Dark. He's the embodiment of: "Never try to make things better", all he cares about is himself. The whole world could be nearly destroyed but so long as he was left alone he was content. To be in the middle is to be content with things being as they are.
Alternatively, Star Wars's canonical hyper-dualization on powers that we might otherwise expect to be vastly more of a diverse expression of our varied sapience and interests is kind of stupid and therefore presents a boring thought experiment.
It's why I think the only interesting choice is try to become an independent adept of force powers outside of the preconceived paradigm, or fail because I'm too mediocre of a student to produce such an innovation.
i'd do magic tricks with the dark side, magicians always get the crazy hot girls
now i wonder how the force works with sex, i'm sure there is tons of fan fic about it

Qui Gon was getting busy on the side.
I'm going Light Side, Double Yellow Saber, Black Robes.
