Now, this might just be because I'm hilariously tired, but as a semi casual kind hardcore star wars fan, within the context of this site, or even within star wars itself...The Force is confusing. Does anyone else agree with me? I mean, to me, if you were to go on an alignment scale, it seems like if you want to be a force sensitive, you're essentially condemning yourself to either a life of Lawful Good, or Chaotic/Lawful Evil, with no real room for going somewhere inbetween. I don't mean in a Grey Jedi sense, I just mean in general, what defines the aspects of the force a person can use, what decides whether or not you can use force lightning or force crush, I mean, The Dark Side has all the cool abilities, but I need to be an asshole to use them, and for that matter, why are all sith lords evil.
I mean, the Dark Side draws on emotion and passion doesn't it, why do those emotions and passions have to be from anger and hatred and malice, why not sadness? happiness? love? joy? fear? Is it just a sith job requirement that you need to be an evil a-hole? I'm not the kinda guy that likes to fry people till they scream for mama, all I'm asking is, if Mace Windu can use force crush and employ a fighting style that puts him on the Dark Side's doorstep without becoming a sith, can we not do that too.
EDIT: I don't know what the hell I was smoking when I wrote that, but either way, I'm quite interested now, what is the word of God when it comes to the ability to wield certain force powers and abilities, can you be a Jedi capable of using one or two Dark Side abilities? a Sith capable of using Light Side abilities? or is it a hard line that we cannot use any abilities but the ones on our side of the fog of power?
