Are Jedi that good (guys)?

It always makes me laugh when people act like this actually means something.

Wow, ONE guy seemed "pretty chill" so suddenly the Sith can do no wrong. Like one Sith not being a sociopathic monster somehow means we should ignore the millions that were.

And even if he was "pretty chill," how much actual GOOD did Vectivus accomplish? How many people did he help, how many lives did he save?

Yes, the Jedi are the good guys. They work to protect innocent people and preserve life and liberty. They are not Superman, they aren't pure as driven snow and they will lie and use some morally dubious methods to achieve the greater good, but they are still a massive force for good eclipsing everything else in the entire Star Wars mythos.

If a Jedi saw a child about to get hit by a car, they'd throw themselves in front of it to save them. A Sith would just watch. And laugh. Because they are evil.

Also, lol @ the Sith being honest. The Sith lie and betray everyone constantly. And even if it were true, that's laughably insignificant compared to their despicable, omnicidal tendencies, and isn't the slightest of a redeeming quality. They do not "follow the basic steps that the majority of humanity would also follow." They are sociopathic monsters who regularly commit genocide, advocate slavery and murder on a whim.

Traya is just about the only Sith to present a rational and somewhat reasonable advocate for the Sith ideals and she is still an insane, bitter old woman who murdered innocent people after waging an elaborate and extremely destructive revenge plot because they didn't approve of her teaching methods and was instrumental in creating one of the largest threats to galactic life ever. And then she tried to kill the Force.

"Applauds."

Remember teh first encounter with a satr map on Kashyyyk... What was Revan strategy? Letting his city burn,in order to don't reval they have intell on them and strike hard in the ennmy line.... To end the war as quicly as possible. And save MOAR dudes, MOAR soldiers life, because soldiers can have a family too.

Remember what Kreia told us about Kindess.
Be carefull with it.

When you see Darth revan trying to save the galaxy, and claim it by the way because like doctor doom he believe that his ow justice work for the greater good. Seriously Man revan promise to train a specimen of each intelligent species of the galaxy in the way of the force, where our doushy palpatine do his racist guy. This guy Really know what acting for the greater good mean, because he know what the greater good is, he have a more pragmatic approach...
Darth Revan let us believe that sith can be good guy. And He is notran hypocryte dude, mayby a great manipulator, but not an hypocryte... (Not like 3.0 Revan)
Dart Revan is like Traya, in kinda a little less wise, and more inttelligent, more rational more powerfull than herself. And he is not insane. He is driven by kinda noble goals.... You can say that it is kinda selfish to claim the galaxy for yourself.. But honnestly someone as wise and clever as Revan is just the perfect guy to rule the galaxy...
Look at Juhani Revan as already turned to the Dark side, he was already the sith lord that wage war against the Jedi council. And tel me that Darth Revan is a bad guy. + He don't kill civilian his attack have a minimal casaulities, he convert rather than killing.He inspired entires life he gave a sens a reason to leave at thousand, no billions of peoples.
And this guy was a cold calculating machine lead by passion for what he believe in.
And actually the galaxy could have been a better place to leave f Malak did not fired on his flag ship....

All we know from the sith majoritarly come with a Jedi point of view.

I was merely disagreeing with the singular statement that the Sith at their best are "massively bad", since the least evil Sith we know of isn't really that massively bad.

I agree with the Jedi good Sith bad thing, was just challenging that singular point. Not exactly the same thing as me saying Sith can do no wrong.

The problem is philosophicall sith don't see "good" from teh same perspective...

ANd thank for quoting my post (you could have corrected teh syntaxe by the way..) Anyway it confirm that sith can do good : In their own way.

And Look at the star map on Kashyyyk... To fit the pattern, you have to be Revan. And think s Revan. And what Revan did during the mandalorian war.. Was what Churchill during the second WW. He let London be bombarded to invade normandy....
That's what Revan did, in the end the war ended a it quiker, saving in the more life, it seem eveil yhea, but it was a good deed...

I beg your pardon. That was meant to be a general remark, not directed at you specifically. I should have worded it better.
