Definitely the Father, he was confirmed to be the most powerful Force user in his prime.

oh man. I really can't say. this is a debate that never ends for people that have a lot more knowledge about it than I do.

I thought with the new movies everything else was essentially thrown out and it's the movies that are the main canon? The Star Wars EU canon has always been complex.


I'm not much of a PC gamer but I will have to check them out. I played the force unleashed games, and for the most part, I thought the battle mechanics were good. The story and repetitiveness were drawbacks though.

The hell does "Khan-era Sith" mean? Well, in any case, philosophically the Republicans are closer to the Sith, and the Democrats are closer to the Jedi, pretty much unquestionably.

From how the movies have portrayed both sides since the Prequels.

Both sides are Shit so I can see the logic in this.

how they operated as the brother of darkness or whatever.

also, the comparison can be questioned greatly. don't let your personal bias make you think things are set in stone

Oh hell yes the Force Unleashed games were awesome. Yeah the story was meh, but I was mostly playing it to toss tie fighters around with my mind and shit.

^ Agreed. the battle mechanics were fun, very much so. I just wish they could have added more depth in the adventure side of it as well as fleshed out the story more.

The sith use emotions

The jedi abstain from emotions clouding their judgment


Sith are all about achieving power; jedi are about keeping the peace.

The dark-side allows you to achieve power faster but at the cost of degrading physically.

The light-side takes longer to achieve the same power but you will in essence live on for ever after death.

Comparing them to dem/republican is pretty unreasonable. Let's just use the political spectrum.


Sith are all about power and hierarchy while the jedi (in theory) see everyone as being equal.

so jedi = leftist
sith = reactionary

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

vs

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.


I believe it's more appropriate to assign the sith as being realists while the jedi are idealists. If we say that progressives are trying to achieve unrealistic ideas they are the jedi. Sith are the realists following the alt-right.

Let's flesh this out.

I see a lot of similarities between the Khan era Sith and modern day Dems.


They're both sith.

Politics is based on deception.

I mean, lets get real here.. Who really controls politics? People with money. You don't see too many liberal billionaries going around poor neighborhoods, giving out a million dollars at every door stop..

Of course, the republicans are open faced about not giving a ****. Personally, I think both parties are theater anyways, otherwise why do the "fringes" get all the press time..?

So yeah, it's all deception, all lies. Any "good" people that actually want to clean the system up get dealt with, whether it's marginalized, smeared, or worse (Look up politics and murders.. Look up Whitey Bulger. These people are thugs.)

I can see the interchangeability

In theory,sure.

In practice leftists use emotion all the time. What do you think the "social politics" is all about? Getting people angry. Getting people riled. Voting based on emotion.

And there just so happens to be open bigots around every corner to play into that.

Which, sure, they exist. Do they exist in such numbers that they should make up all the media coverage they do, or as much of the political discourse that they do?

Look at Yale.. It's all social politics, all the time, with the university solidly behind the marginalized. Except when they want unions.. Then suddenly the university is against the students. Because suddenly, there's more then words at stake.. There's money involved.

The true answer is both parties are both sides of the force too. Both have qualities of both. The self destructiveness and in fighting of the sith and the ineffectiveness of the jedi.
