neoexdeath (12/27/2012) [-] What pisses me off about Star Wars is basically if you're a Force user...
1. You can be a totally evil douchebag drunk on the dark side
2. You can be an anal retentive lawful stupid douchebag
LORD HELP YOU IF YOU WANT SOME MIDDLE GROUND.

It's kind of like the mages in Dragon Age... There's a huge amount of power and potential there, so people are terrified of the repercussions of letting it go unhindered. So the Jedi order is there to train force-users to only uphold good in all things, so that they don't have to risk being ostracized by the universe at large.
And most people are happy to keep it that way, because in the event that force users demand "freedom", it's usually because they've fallen to the dark side. Because complete power corrupts completely, it's not often that powerful force-users remain truly neutral. As in, you're not likely to find a dude just chilling, using the force to levitate beers from the kitchen and his lightsaber to trim the hedges.
Sadly, we can't risk leaving Jedi completely out of check because of the power they could wield against the galaxy and further... Not only that, but many people confuse the Jedi order with a sort of religion, when it's more like Bhuddism -- just a system of beliefs, meditation, and a goal of complete peace with oneself inside and out.

clavatninenine (12/27/2012) [-] Darth Revan is the absolute perfect example of middle ground.
Not counting KOTOR's odd portrayal of him, Darth Revan is a Jedi-Turned-Sith lord who ended being able to completely control both the Dark and Light sides of the force.
His master Kreia (AKA Darth Traya) taught him that to understand the Force in its purest form, one must view both Dark and Light not as labels, but as pieces of a whole. She taught him that their is not actually sides of the force, but just the Force as one entity. Her teachings also made him realize that by helping people, he makes them weak, and by being cruel, he becomes weak as well, in the sense that his power will eventually corrupt and destroy him.
What he ended up becoming was a force user who used kindness when those he met had no hope otherwise, and cruelty when it would cause those around him to become stronger, since Trayas teachings showed that conflict makes people strong and isolation and inaction makes people weak.
While he was still a sith lord in name, he was infact Jedi and Sith, and in the end was as true neutral as any character in Star Wars lore had ever been.

hugejuggernaut ONLINE (12/27/2012) [-] Or you can just step away from the Council and its Order. There are all kinds of rouge Jedi. Even a whole realm of Gray Jedi, whom traverse all regions of the force without giving into the Dark side temptations or the boundaries of the Light.
One of the most notable and popular being Qui-Gon Jinn.

sixfootfive (12/27/2012) [-] I guess you could argue that these two quotes relate to completely different things.
Yoda's philosophy of "there is no try" refers to using the Force, telling Luke that in order to truly become a Jedi, you must completely immerse yourself in the Force and free your mind from the limits of physical being to gain abilities that would normally be impossible.
Whereas Obi-Wan's theory of only Sith dealing in absolutes refers to loyalties and allegiances, showing that only the Sith would ever have such a narrow-minded view of the World, seeing people only as enemies if they dare to challenge their views on the way of the galaxy.
