But to use a method to kill that is obviously protracted and more painful must surely be of the dark side.
A quick, easy death must be more of the lightside than having someone slowly choke to death. Also, the motive of the death must have a great influence on Dark V's Light

AGain, no power is inherently evil, just what you do with it. Telekinesis is just that, using it to hurt someone in a slow protracted way IS evil, of course, but it isn't the fault of the power.

EU's not my bag, so I won't come near this board again, but dark and light force powers are a very interesting subject.
Thinking about it, a lightsabre could cause just as much pain as force lightning or telekinetic killing, but Jedi still carry them as they are a useful defence measure if the need arises to end someone's life in defence of an innocent being's. Likewise, if an unarmed Jedi was forced to kill someone in defence by using the Force to put a tremendous voltage across their heart, or send a wave of telekinetic energy through their brain, even the most honourable and good Jedi would not think twice about doing it.
It strikes me that the only reasons Jedi do not use these powers are that firstly, they are not well practiced in their effective use, and secondly, lightsabres tend to be effective enough in a combat situation.
Powers like Drain (which are kind of vague and only appeared in video games as a 'gain health back from others!' method) would have to be considered inherently evil.
Is there a Force Kill? If so, lame.
I, for one, believe that lightning should also be treated as inherently evil. I remember certain descriptions of it being powered by hatred. Something destructive like lightning shouldn't be a willy-nilly 'I must zap him so that he drops his gun, using my good intentions!' power.
It should take anger and hatred to fuel Lightning. Those emotions to support good intentions.

Force kil is basically choke...
anyhow as far as lightning goes i guess what your ultimate goal would be like say zapping krayt to death good for galaxy but well
It's one to thing to have good intentions, but your means don't always justify the end. And if it takes anger and hatred to stop evil, you run the risking of becoming that evil, especially when dealing with the Force.
