"All that remains for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing."
Darth Yoda, if that is your version of neutrality, it is moral cowardice, not indifference. Inaction does not save you from the wrong action if inaction in itself is wrong. If I know that a boy is about to be hit by a truck and you do nothing, that is passive evil, it is not neutral. Neutrality is, really, a myth when it comes to morality. Even Lucas believes as much. The man read some fifty books on morality before he made the first movie.
But rationally, reasonablly, such an attitude borders on ethical egoism and is fundamentally unsound. If everyone acted as you did and didn't care a whit about the next guy, this world and civilization itself would fall apart. You would not be sitting before a computer debating science fiction.
As for mastering the darkside without being corrupted that is nonsense. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If that were ever not the case, we would have dozens if not millions of enlightened despots in our time. And guess what? We don't.
READ WHAT I SAY GUYS. I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE THE ANSWER. There is no grey, as Nai said and I have said. People only make grey to give themselves leeway. But morality IS black and white. The grey comes from not having the knowledge to see the black and white.
