she is a "grey" jedi in the sense she is a force user that no longer follows the jedi council, which really doesn't mean much since by the time she left order 66 soon happened, she is not a grey jedi like ops pick is suggesting in that she uses the dark side from time to time, she is still firmly rejects it especially since she found out Vader used to be Anakin

this debate causes confusion because the term jedi and sith mean multiple things even in universe
jedi can mean force users in general, it can mean a religion, it can mean the organization, same with the sith too. and it's not complicated in a meaningful or intentional way either, it's just retarded and bad writing
a similar thing exists in gundam with the new types too for example but there it makes sense because it's caused by the in-universe people using the term in different ways for their own ends

I'm not just nice - I can be a damn mean son of a bitch if someone crosses me. I'm just that kind of guy, and honestly? If you have a problem with that... well, a Jedi would probably hit you with some holier-than-thou spiel... a Sith would Force lightning you back to the stone age, but me? I'll just take it on the chin - that's who I am.

Sith seems like it leads to disaster for obvious reasons so its clearly only a retards path.

But Jedi also just seems like it wound never work and also seems like "retard path but with extra steps".

But end up sucking realistically. Which means that the lucas original trilogy showing good triumphing over evil without any overt influence from a jedi council was kino for showing the Jedi were flawed asf right from the start. That was always the intention

The prequels just spelt it out more clearly

A Sith who uses his passions and powers to free others from bondage, resisting the temptation to go full retard would be a more moral person than a jedi.

You don’t have to be a retard to be a sith. Most sith are retards because thats easier, but there is nothing inherently wrong with the sith code.

>Gray Jedi
There is no such thing. Who would even qualify as a "Gray Jedi" in canon?

>Ahsoka Tano
She is still a Jedi in everything but name. The most "non-Jedi" thing she has ever done was telling Vader she would avenge Anakin after he claimed he "destroyed Anakin because he was weak."
>Pre-Darth Tyranus Count Dooku
Dooku was already flirting with the dark side even before leaving the Jedi Order, and Qui-Gon served as his moral balance. Sometime after he left, he was approached by Sidious and began committing evil deeds intentionally (such as murdering people) even before officially becoming a Sith Lord.
>Baylan Skoll
It is still unknown what he truly is. He doesn't see himself as a Jedi anymore, he gave his apprentice a Padawan braid but explicitly says she isn't a Jedi either. He claims he "misses the idea of the Jedi Order, but not what it truly was or its weakness". He has no qualms about murdering people to achieve his goals, yet he seems to follow a certain code of honor. I'm fairly certain Filoni will have him either die redeeming himself or go full-blown evil.

The dark side corrupts the user. You're either a Jedi (or Jedi-like such as Tano) or a dark sider (Sith, Nightsisters, Maul after renouncing the Sith Order, etc).

No such thing. The novel they dumped the cancelled TCW episodes' plot into says they're darksiders but they're not corrupt like the sith, because DONUT STEEL.
Originally most of the Dathomiri witches were strictly lightsiders anyway, with only the one outcast clan (Nightsisters) being darksiders and physically corrupted into ugly hags, but this was subsequently retardized by other authors and worst of all the Filoni Show and Lucas' fat daughter.

Sith were originally refered to as "Dark Jedi" and not all of them were necessarily galaxy-ending levels of evil. A """grey Jedi""" is just a moron who's confused on what to believe in because either the order's code does not fit their worldviews or the Sith's justifications for their evil seem too outlandish, all of them lean back into one side or another anyway.
Ahsoka goes back to training and adventuring with Luke (at least in Disney's canon), Dooku eventually became a Sith because why wouldnt you after murdering one of your own masters.

Its one of those cases were there was nothing else available. Star Wars lacked animated properties period and people also missed the prequel era of worldbuilding and conflict. It only took many years and Filoni being handed the literal keys to the kingdom to realize he was shit and is killing Star Wars more than Kennedy ever could.
>>
>>736227675
Fun fact: Bad Batch characters were George's idea. They originally had two arcs in the cancelled seasons of Clone Wars. He basically wanted to do The Dirty Dozen with clones. The only reason the videogame clone commandos were at all in the show is because Filoni liked the game a lot and was friends with the people who made it, so he managed to put Delta Squad cameo and make Gregor a commando in the last moment.

Jedi can only be "gray" in the sense that they disobey some rules of the order or have a tendency to disagree with the councils decisions and views, and also act accordingly. But this is more a matter of perspective and perceived "purity" in regards to how strictly a Jedi adheres to the code of the Jedi versus how much liberty he takes in diverting from or bending it. A non-grey jedi is simply a purist who would never allow himself things like emotional bonds, preemptive aggression (even if billions of lives could be saved though it) or abusing things like the mindtrick to his ends. Qui-gon is a counter example to this, he even tried to use his mindtrick on watto to make him accept a deal that would have potentially wrecked him financially (making him accept a worthless currency), which is kind of abusive if you think about it.

Grey jedis are jedis who take morally questionable liberties when they think it is ultimately for the better. And in Qui-gons case, as he is strictly aligned with the living force, moreso than with the stupid rules of the order, he does it when the force basically tells him it is what he needs to do, making him actually a truer jedi than the holier-than-tho old farts of the council, who are stuck in their ways, blinded by arrogance and involved in politics. But they are not this "half-light half-dark" mary sue edgelord bullshit suggested in op's picture, they still see the dark side as something to stay away from.

Compared to the other clone characters he's written half the batch wasnt very likeable, the only 2 that got any development were Huntah and Grosshair. Omega was part of the issue yes but so was the fact they couldnt spend more than 2 episodes trying to develop a story. When you market it as a more "linear" tale than TCW and instead you end up interrupting the plot by shoving random "adventures" in the middle then its hard to want to follow this shit.
Its a show with a confused identity, annoying or non existent characters and a director who's too far up his own ass.

SW is such a gay fucking libtard universe.
Like why is nobody racist? All these weird fucks somehow live together in harmony and the enemy is a bunch of dudes who just declare themselves to be the bad guys? That's some shoddy fucking writing.

Meanwhile Mass Effect was full of racism.
You had space jews, you had space muslims, you had a sentient race of machines who kicked the muslims from the only planet they could inhabit. You had conflicts between the human and the turians, between the krogan and the rachni, between the krogan and pretty much every other race really. It was a fascinating and complex mess where every raced hated each other and they only kept the peace through lots of boring council meetings and careful deliberation.
You had weird religious fanatics, race supremacists (you could even join the human faction of those), inter-species mating, bioweapons and genocide, all sorts of wild shit.

>>736229623
Star Wars is a fairy tale space fantasy for kids. Mass Effect was designed as a serious grounded sci-fi. Star Wars deals more with the archetypal and mythological problems of objective good and evil. There is some racism, but it's mostly in the background and it is usually not the focus or driving force of the story. Some people and authors desperately want to turn Star Wars into serious, meticulously detailed science fiction, not realizing that it will never work because it was never designed to be that. It's just not what it is.

Mega stoics who don't understand that emotions are a part of the human (sentient, in the case of the Star Wars universe) condition. Denying them and trying to be some Marcus Aurelius LARPer whilst simultaneously being a superpowered Force-user with a weapon that can basically cut through anything is a recipe for disaster. Like being a cop and being bullied by your fellow cops for getting traumatized after seeing a family of four murdered in a horrific murder suicide.
>Right
Straight up evil. A twisted, misconstrued, misaligned interpretation of the Force that desires power above all else. I think we can all agree on this. A path that inexorably leads to self-destruction.

The Carl Jung of Force of users. Those who understand that in a galaxy filled with monsters, you have to be tap intro your shadow self at times to fight against it all. A philosophy that isn't suffocated by the rigid dogma nor constantly drowning in their own miasma of bottled-up emotions/hypocrisy of the Jedi, but also isn't corrupted by the power-hungry Sith who strive for dominance above everyone by any means necessary.
I can't speak on whether Gray Jedi are fanfiction or not, but I can reasonably assess that if this was the real world, their philosophy would have the most solid grounding and the best practical application for enforcing and proliferating peace throughout the galaxy.

Even if Lucas did say this, every bit of evidence in canon suggests otherwise. The Force is like anything else. You choose how to use it. Using it in ways that are selfless and promote harmony makes you a Jedi. Using it in ways that are selfish are promote discord makes you a Sith.
Final Fantasy III has a setting that works more like how people mistakenly think the Force works, where there's literally a "light and dark" side to the universe and both have to be kept in balance.
>>
>>736237198
Dooku was totally on board with the idea of creating the Empire. Anakin only wanted to save his wife and Palpatine couldn't even follow through on that, at least with Dooku he could be reasonably assured that he was following the Sith path. He got lucky (because it was a prequel) that Vader didn't murder him on the spot when he dropped that "oh I didn't save your wife you killed her" thing.

Actually, the SWTOR book about Revan states that he shook off the brainwashing but decided to conquer the galaxy anyway. I was thinking grey because he strategically left planets intact so he could take over and use them against the Emperor.

They didn't. The Jedi were always meant to be dogmatic faggots to the point of fault.

This led to a renewed wave of content for the prequels/CW, since those characters weren't tarnished as much. Just think how much Rebels and The Mandalorian almost revered CW.
And I can't even blame Disney for continuing with it because their big attempt to make something new (High Republic/The Acolyte) crashed and burned.

In old canon they're simply Jedi that aren't beholden to the rules of the council, basically guys like Qui-Gon and Jolee that do what they think is right regardless of what the rules say.
In fanon Grey Jedi are force users that mix the light and dark sides of the force without falling into either camp. This doesn't work because the dark side is a corrupting cancer that turns you puppy kicking evil in less than a day, and one of the Banite line of Sith, Darth Gravid, went insane trying to mix the two and set the plan back years.

Is force choke even exclusive to DS users? It's just using the force to exert pressure on someone's neck. If Jedi can push/pull objects, they can choke a bitch.

not really. see the Dark Side of the force is said to be totally consuming, all they care about is power even if they went in with initially noble motives, they lose them in the process.

Now are their Sith that oppose the hierarchy they're in? Yeah, because they don't want to be subservient they all want to be the top, the Sith Apprentices kill their master when they're strong enough.
That's part and parcel for Sith. They're only loyal till they're strong enough to replace.

Grey Jedi don't seek control, they disagree with the council and end up striking out on their own path, sometimes leaving the Jedi Order, but they stay "good" Jolee Bindo wanted to marry, the Jedi Order said no, so he left. Grey Jedi. Qui Gon disagreed with some rules, he stayed in, but never got to be on the council because of his rebellious nature, which aspects of are also part of Obi-Wan, and Anakin, and even Luke..... and they all got it from Count Dooku, who trained Qui-Gon, disagreed with the council, and then left the Jedi Order. Initially Dooku could be said to be a Grey Jedi... until he fell to the dark side and became a Sith... but it's telling that when Dooku thought he had a potential ally in Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon's apprentice who also has a defiant streak in him, he thought he could sway him and destroy Sidious, taking control himself.
So still a rebel, but seeking to take control himself consistent with the Dark Side of the Force's controlling influence.

Think of the Jedi Council/Jedi Order as Lawful Good, Grey Jedi as Neutral Good, and Sith are all Lawful Evil, just they want to be the law themselves.

Revan always wanted to do right by the Republic. When he was a Jedi that was fighting the Mandalorians. When he fell to the Dark Side fighting the Mandies, it was replacing the Republic with something that could defend itself. In the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War it was tracking down the True Sith and dealing with them himself after he fucked up the Republic so hard.

But always as the guy who thinks he knows better what to do than anyone else present.

It's actually ambiguous if Luke used choke or not. The script did not specify it. But also, the point of Return of the Jedi was that Luke was slipping into darkness. His dark clothes and him almost falling to the Dark Side at teh end was meant to show that. Lucas even has Anakin on Mustafar quote Luke in Return: "You're underestimating my power". You can notice in the end that his tunic is slightly open, revealing the white clothing on the inside. So at any case, using Luke at the beginning of Return is not a good example.

Grey Jedi is someone like Qui Gonn and early Dooku. They believe in the "living force", which has elements of both jedi/sith.
It is to a degree casting out the jedi council, and "going with the flow".

there is no such thing as "good guy powers" or "bad guy powers" that's EU fanfic wankery. It's not schools of magic.
A good guy can force choke people if their motivation is just to protect themselves rather than to attack someone, Luke just makes the Gammorean pass out., he doesn't break their windpipe.
a good guy could use force lightning perhaps, Yoda seems to be capable of it, it's just easier to tap into negative emotions to let anger give you enough connection to the force to do that sort of manipulation, and shooting lightning from your hands is a pretty aggressive thing, you're always trying to attack/kill someone when doing it.
>a Jedi uses the Force for Knowledge and Defense, never to attack
That's the key, motive. Why are you wanting to shoot lightning? It's to attack. We've seen Yoda is able to do it, he just doesn't often because it's an offensive move, not defensive, and it probably requires more focus and skill to do it while calm and passive rather than raging with anger and hate.

>a good guy could use force lightning perhaps, Yoda seems to be capable of it
He wasn't. He absorbed it and reflected back. Lucas specifically called lightning "Sith Lighting", a dark power in the audio commentary. Lightning is inherently hateful, destructive power. The only two people who had ever used it on screen were Dark Tyrant and Dark Insidious. If you pay attention it becomes obvious that it's the ultimate evil power used by evil guys. Showing Dooku using it shows us that he's as evil as Devil himself, and surprise: at the end of the film they reveal that Dooku and Devil work together and he is Satan's apprentice.

>>736240321

>>736240426
Yoda is still projecting out lightning from his hands. But yes he gets the power to do it by defending himself from it.
The Dark Side is not stronger, but it is an easier path.

This. The Sith are driven by the desire to control the Force while the Jedi are driven by the desire to let the Force flow as it will.
The Sith want to control, package, and potentially sell the Force - or strip it from others, so that they can rule others. Jedi want the Force to flow naturally and touch everything, as it belongs to everyone.
Yes, even a Force gambler is ultimately utilizing the Dark Side because you're using it for selfish reasons to lord over those who aren't touched by the Force.

Force Lightning is often described in supplemental material as being concentrated hatred. As in, you're not using the Force to generate electricity and shooting it out of your hands, you're weaponizing your hate into a physical form and then shooting that at your opponent.

What he said >>736240686
He was not generating it, he was merely REFLECTING it. They even animated absorbing bubbles in his hands. Watch the scene again. It's very obvious. I can't believe it has to be spelled out. Jedi cannot do that, because it requires tapping into hatred and Dark Side, and the Jedi don't do that. THE ONLY two characters in all of Star Wars on screen that have EVER used lightning are Dark Insidious - the ultimate evil incarnate - and his apprentice Dark Tyranus, a traitor to the Jedi Order, deceiver, schemer and murderer, who plunged the galaxy into war for the sake of power.
>>
>>736240686
he absorbs it, then pushes it back out. The source of the energy is fueled by hate, but if Yoda has the energy to use, he can use it.
It's just harder to get that energy without seething.

my theory is that because Vader's suit is a machine powered by electricity, using force lightning himself would damage his own cyborg systems, so he doesn't.

>>736240575
wrong.
The jedi/jedi council were rigid with the force, the only one who was one with the force, to let it flow naturally was Qui Gonn. He was hated by the order for this.
He was the only one to master force ghosting, due to his affinity to the living force, not jedi "light side".
I'd argue Luke was more of a mix between light/dark by the end of the trilogy, and in extended canon, depending on the writer, more of a living force user than the strict adherence to jedi order rulings. If the original trilogy was re-written closer to the time of the phantom menace, I bet Lucas would've made that clearer, to link up with the themes of Qui Gonn more anyway.

And before I get extended universe is not canon, most of it was a okay'd by Lucas himself.

The living force creature in rebels spells this out too.
>>
>>736241395
Qui-Gon has to be correct about the Force because he's supposed to be the first Jedi in a gorillion years to discover the secrets of the Whills and be granted entry to Space Heaven. Thus his understanding of the Force is above reproach.
>>
>>736241283
Thats not a theory, when Luke chops his arm off he can see circuitry and wires, mirroring his own cybernetic arm. Vader even before the prequels was said to have suffered a horrific event involving first degree burns.

Lucas is adamant that "bring balance to the Force" was entirely Anakin destroying the Sith by killing himself and Palpatine. The Force did not need the Order removed. If it did it would have acted a lot sooner considering how many more Jedi there have ever been than Rule of Two Sith.
>>
>>736241615
First degree burns are the least severe. You're thinking third degree, hell maybe even FOURTH degree, which apparently goes all the way down to the bone. Seems about right for what Vader went through.

it was two schools of force theory among good Jedi though, the unifying force vs the living force. Both schools understood that both were essentially true, that the force is an all encompassing thing that bound the galaxy together, but also has a will of its own it's a living thing.
It's just Unifying force proponents stressed the all encompassing nature while Living force proponents stress that the nature has a will of its own.
It's a little like different theology stances contained within a particular real world religion, like in Christianity Catholics believe in salvation by good works, Protestants believe in salvation by unmerited grace. Both will agree that a Christian will do good works, a Catholic will say that they are getting saved by doing those works, a Protestant will say they're doing those good works because they're already saved. Both will agree that good works are important, just what role they play

In the Unifying Force vs Living Force debate though, most Jedi (and Unifying Force was the dominant theology in the Jedi Order) that they just "became one with the Force" their identity gone, essentially Buddhist Nirvana.
While Qui-Gon, a Living Force believer, showed that you can maintain your identity in the Force, and so Qui-Gon's students, and Yoda who learned about this particular aspect from Qui-Gon, could retain their identity after death.

>>
>>736241889
If the Force didn't want the Chosen One to test the Jedi while also destroying the Sith, it could have dropped him into a virgin on a core world. Instead it dropped him into a woman in the Outer Rim and fated him to enter the Jedi Order at an age where his life experiences would challenge the Jedi Dogma (and ultimately destroy it so it could be remade).
And if George didn't want the Force acting like a deity with agency, he shouldn't have framed the guy who thought it was as being the perfect Jedi who got into Jedi Heaven.

If 1000 Human Jedi banged 1000 women theres a chance at least 50 of those kids will turn out force sensitive. Do this for 10 years and you easily get 500 Jedi to train. Now imagine if they did this to 10 more partners.

well it's what Qui-Gon was and Dooku were before Dooku became Sith.
it seemed like it was possible to leave the Jedi Order willingly, and just live on your life being Jedi trained but no longer with the legal authority of a Jedi Knight.

Because if you get 1,000 human jedi to bang 1,000 women you're going to end up with at least one Anakin. Probably a lot more desu

"Grey jedi means I can use dark side powers... as a treat..."
"I'm so conflicted and capable of cruelty... if I really need to"
Deranged anti hero nonsense. Spawned from comic books of the era. "The anti hero" as a concept needs to be destroyed in its entirety.

Qui Gon jinn is literally just a jedi. He's jedi orthodox as opposed to the realist political bureaucrats of the modern order

Filoni is definitive proof that just because you’re a superfan doesn’t mean you can make good content. Imagine if /v/ was put in charge of franchises like Jurassic Park, Breaking Bad, Resident Evil, Lord of the Rings, Mario, God of War, Godzilla, Marvel, Dragon Ball, Star Trek and more. They would be Dave Filonis, killing all of these IPs one at a time.

The Jedi aren't interested in artificially boosting their numbers just for the sake of having more Jedi. That's something a selfish Force society would do in pursuit of amassing more power and authority.
>>
>>736242797
That's a dishonest thing to say when the sequels, acolyte, kenobi, book of boba fett, karen traviss, troy denning, dark empire, and a lot of other terrible, outright disrespectful and hateful stuff exists. You're hyperbolic like a hormonal maximalist teenager.

putting /v/ in charge of Jurassic Park literally could not be worse than Jurassic World

Because 50% of those kids would wind up being dark siders because the force wills or or whatever dumb bullshit

>sequels, acolyte, kenobi, book of boba fett,
Half of your list are things that were poisoned by Filoni's influence, and the other half were from before he came into any position of authority.

There would be a scene where the main actor gets bedroom eyelash winks from a female raptor. There would also be a scene where the dinosaurs evolve to say the word nigger for no reason whatsoever. The ending would involve the surviving humans, raptors and a tyrannosaurus dancing to “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley.

you guys really exaggerate how bad that movie was. it didn't actually do anything particularly wrong, its like a 7/10

Because contrary to fan speculation, force sensitivity isn't genetic. It is decided by amount of mediclorians in a living being's body which is never said to be decided by bloodline. Instead it is more likely that mediclorian count is tied to destiny as the force picks the people that it wants to enact it's will.
>>
>>736232898
cautiously optimistic. I hope we can make custom Jedi.
>>
>>736243504
Wow I wonder why people think that it's genetic? Could it be because the two main characters (also the most important, interesting, and impactful people in the entire setting) are father and son? Fucking pseud

It makes the most sense for midichlorians to be a biproduct of the force being strong in someone. An indicator of their strength with the force. But not the cause.
Yes I know midichlorians are canonically the cause as far as the movies are concerned.

It's got big dinosaurs chasing people. What exactly is so bad about it, I don't even remember any writing errors jumping out at me, though I haven't seen it in quite a few years now.

Above average compared to most hollywood shit in this era that's brown communist fanfiction

Antihero is legit it just has no real role in the force theology of the Jedi.
an Antihero is a guy who does the right thing for the wrong reasons. So he's a hero, but atypical. Han Solo is an antihero.. does the right thing.. but the motivation is money until Chewie (the closest thing to his conscience) changes his course.

That is usually called a Dark Jedi or a Fallen Jedi

Yep. Qui-Gon describes Midichlorians as being the tool the body uses to translate the Force. But all issues (for as much as there are issues with a concept that appears in like 4 lines over three movies) would go away if they were just indicators. Midichlorians show up in people with high Force Sensitivity because they are drawn to Force Sensitive people.
