Can a "good" Jedi, (any class) use Force lighting?

But the Force isn't polar. The Dark Side and the Light Side cannot be at opposite ends of an absolute spectrum, or else Luke could not have been able to use the Grip and remain a Jedi, as the Grip has been clearly labeled as a Dark Side power.

If it weren't for the Sith themselves referring to "The Dark Side" of the Force, I would have to say that the two Sides were an arbitrary belief set upon a whole by the Jedi.

GL's rules reign supreme- the Jedi are defending in the best way else they wouldn't do it.

Sorry, but you are applying values and ideas that are not relevant.

That's silly. That'd be like walking into a philosophy class and saying, "Aristotle reigns supreme. What he said cannot be questioned!"

To the extent that we're discussing this from a philosophical perspective, Lucas's ideas and conclusions sure as hell CAN be called into question! And should be, too.

Furthermore, who said the jedi got it all right anyway? For all anyone can say, maybe that's the big secret underneath it all: the jedi were wrong, too.

That's what I've been saying, Orestes. I think the Jedi don't have a clear view of the Force, and as a result they've restricted their abilities.

I rather agree with Orestes on that. If we're looking at SW philosophy from an outside view here we should be able to put forth our own ideas. While it's presumptuous for anyone to say this or that is Gl's view without expressed proof (which I wouldn't doubt Ush has) we are still entitled to debate this line of thought. That's the purpose of the forum. Or... if that is too much to ask, then this should be moved to the philosophy forum and debated there.

This has gotten patheic...

As GL has stated in the movies no "true" Jedi would ever use powers of the Dark Side for any reason. Within the SW universe there is good and there is evil and the only neurality going on is with non-force sensitives who cannot be influenced by the Light or Dark sides but by their own moral choices. Everyone has a choice over their actions and Jedi are no exception they are simply more exposeded to the more base emotions such as greed, lust, hate, and anger that is why the Jedi stress the need for control.

Ha listen me...I sound like a philospher...

No. Because "I sense a great deal of confusion in you" everytime you post something.

C'mon now. You could have done better than that, no matter how old you are.

oh, were you taking me serious all this time...? wow..um

With that, if I angered you, I apoligize.

My intent was merely jest, and not to upset you.

Ayo for Yayo, son! 😛

it's how you use things, not technically what it is....

example, a knife, is still a knife...

if you use it for slicing cheese, then it's put to good use.

but if you use it for killing someone, then its pit to bad use...

guess that's my opinion on how things work...

Any good Jedi would never cut the cheese.
