rogue jedi

I would be a rogue jedi well versed in both sides of the force.
That way id be neutral but able to manipulate the power and hate and smooth calmness that occompanies only who dares enter both realms. The darkside of the force would be strong but not strong enough to make me a powerhungry idiot who wants to control the galaxy

perhaps you wanted to post this in the Poll: If the Force was strong in you?

That rather goes against the whole point of it all. You CANNOT use the Dark Side for selfless purposes; that is the point.

Look, Jedi are the ultimate good guys; you can't improve on them!

what am I then?

Er, the official wacko, apparently.

ah! you noticed 😄

whos says you cant, its all up to the person using the force wether they chose to do what will just benefit them, or not is there choice lets us not forget kyp durron. OF course this should whole thread should been a reply.

yeah

and EU doesn't count,
but you are still right...
it's up to peoples own choice, but I doubt they won't accept the Order

No, it is NOT up to the person. The Dark Side ALWAYS makes you evil- it is a basic morality Star Wars has, and it cannot be complicated. Light Side is good and Dark Side is bad. You cannot just 'use' the Dark Side for good.

if you are too far to protect anyone who's being attacked, if you choke the attacker, that's bad?

no one said i was using the dark side for good.
What if i got in a lightsaber battle with another sith and got really pissed and just beat he/she down until they were no more.
I wasnt using the darkside for good then i was using just to serve myself.

Individual examples are as pointless as saying that grip is an inherently evil power. It;s just telekinesis.

The point is that the Dark Side of the Force makes you evil. It doesn't mwan that everytbing you do will be in some way malevolent, but it still makes you, as a person, evil.

ok, so anyone who embraces the darkside of the force is evil or will become evil, unless it is done unwillingly, then what happens when the give in can they?

Well, define 'unwillingly'. I mean, you cannot trick or force a person into being evil; you can make him do evil things but that doesn't make him evil, only the person who forced him to do it.

So you can only turn out of your own free will.

If you mean a person who did not MEAN to turn but did... well, you know what they say about the path to hell. There are a lot of people in real life who never meant to be evil but turned out that way.

What if I were to use the Jedi Mind Trick to get women into bed. Would that be evil? Would it be the dark side of the force, or the "light" side?

What if I protested, "make love not war", and refused to fight, but only used my Jedi powers for getting laid?

Would I be evil?

I don't really see the relevance of those questions. Light or Dark Side doesn't set what sort of powers you have, it is simply a matter of how you focus your powers.

yeah it be funny to see the jedi mind trick used on a women who isnt weak minded.

Yikes...
