KMC Forums - I hate KOTFE for what they did to the nature of The Force

I am so pissed for what they did to the Force. Numerous times we were explained that darksiders are those who twist The Force and cause imbalances.

"But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, agression...the dark side of the Force are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will."

quote:
"Evil began in a time before recorded history, when magicians made themselves into kings…and gods…using the powers of the dark side of the Force. The weak-minded have ever been ready to obey one who wields great power. Those who learned the powers of the dark side were quick to exploit this weakness—to make war. Again and again the dark side has surged forth, like a storm…devouring whole worlds and entire star systems. Those who mastered dark power became dark power. They unleashed destruction, for no other reason than for selfish gain. They despoiled nations…destroyed whole civilizations. Some of them, I am ashamed to say, were Jedi."

"Will I eventually be physically transformed?"
"Into some aged, pale-skinned, raspy-voiced, yellow-eyed monster, you mean. Such as the one you see before you. Surely you are acquainted with the lore: King Ommin of Onderon, Darths Sion and Nihilus. But whether it will happen to you, I can't say. Know this, though, Sidious, that the power of the dark side does not debilitate the practitioner so much as it debilitates those who lack it. The power of the dark side is an illness no true Sith would ever wish to be cured of."
―Darths Sidious and Plagueis

quote:
"Like you, he believed the dark side could be conquered from within. Such was not to be. The dark side seduced him utterly…and anger became his path!"
―Odan-Urr, warning Ulic Qel-Droma

Saying that Light and Dark exist in perfect balance it's like saying that 1=0

The only way for me to interpret it is that this so-called "balance" was used as a term to explain that both energies permeate this planet. And not necessarily that it was a harmony among the both sides.

Now, I understand Drew Karpyshyn. When he talks about light and dark sides; he isn't only talking about them as being physical but also when it comes about morality.

I understand that these writers wanted something new. But c'mon: the Jedi are those who are in the service of The Force. They never twist it to their own whims. I mean that's why Anakin was born - because Sidious and Plagueis caused a Super Disturbance in The Force by using the Dark Side.

However, knowledge must've been lost in some kind of Gravid-like incident, as Az turned out to be a mid-tier debater with a sub-par track record, sh!itting all over Tempest's legacy. Sad."
