would you prefer to be jedi or sith

Too much Light means the can be no Dark, so there is no Light. Ask Xehanort. He's basically a Sith.

A thing is, the Jedi can definitely exist without sith, they've done so for tens of thousands of years stretches.

The sith are of the dark side, but there's no requirement for a dark side order to exist.

Not really, the Sith have always been kinda around, even when they're gone. Vitiate's Empire, Rule of Two, One Sith, etc. etc. Also, the Jedi weren't really a thing until ~20,000 BBY, so I don't know what you mean by "tens of thousands of years" anyway.

Yeah, Sith history actually goes back further with the Sith race and their culture spanning back a hundred thousand years.

And as far as light and dark goes, the first time the Jedi Order encountered a Dark Side wielding Order, they kinda committed genocide.

The first Great Schism, the forming of the Legion of Lettow, the first darkside order, was in 24,500 BBY. They were wiped out completely.

The Hundred Year Darkness and start of Sith as we know them, as a force tradition, was in 7000 BBY.

There's 17,500 years where there were no opposing force orders, either in open or in secret.

Also, from the fall of Vitiate's Empire to the rise of Darth Ruin, was something on the order of 2,500 years, and during that time the only known Sith was the Lost Tribe, isolated on a single world.

While the Sith have been a major force in some parts of galactic history, the Jedi have gone much longer not being opposed by the Sith than they have with them.

It is one of the only times when a defeat was so total.

To touch on the pre-HYD Sith, the sith species existed, but they didn't have near the force understanding of the Sith-as-an-order (the Exiles taught them much upon joining), they certainly didn't have the same philosophies, and were only on a single world besides.

At times when the Jedi were spread across the Galaxy, the biggest dark side groups were tribes isolated to their own locations.

Among these two philosophies, I relate much more to the Jedi philosophy in real life.

Even in the games, I seldom play villains.

Sith tend to be destructive.

Jedi all the way. I could never kill an innocent person

If you pick Sith, you'll end up getting corrupted and destroyed regardless of your intentions, as Tempest said.

Jedi live like monks, though, so I can't say I'd be happy with that either. But it's better than the alternative.

It's pure hubris and crappy fan fiction to think a common Force user can just use the dark side without consequence or penalty.

Being a sith doesn't mean you have be extremely evil like Sidious etc. Look at Lana Beniko,she was a sith, but she never killed someone unless she was really pissed off

I'm sure she just hugged her way out of the Academy.

Sith without question.

jedi but id be like one from the new jedi order with a much broader perspective of the force

Oh, consider Darth Vectivus.

He died surrounded by his family...

... who he had to keep a false face in front of his entire life, hiding his identity and strong emotions, until his death. Think about what that'd be like.

That's a good end by Sith standards.

I'm more of a Dooku-like Sith myself. Calm and collected; never allowing hate to get the better of me.

Otherwise I agree that the sith end up being corrupted and destroyed by their blind hatred.

The Dark Side is literally cancerous. There's really no point in using it.

Everyone forgetting about just being a Dark Jedi now? 😛 OP never said specifically you had to be in either Order, just a side and Dark Jedi are Jedi...just dark! I mean Dark Jedi, you could just be that one guy on some far off planet with strange powers that no one would understand. (Of course this would extend to you, as you'd have no real clue what you're doing...at least by comparison of actual training. Though you could end up finding old artifacts on said world that would help.)

There you could conquer the people and rule over the planet you're on, I mean Dark Force Adepts can pretty much mind dominate entire tribes and predatory beasts. So I mean, you could be ruling some far off planet and the Jedi or Sith Orders would never really know, unless it's obvious.
