the idea of 'grey jedi' is retarded

Why? Nobody is purely good or purely evil.

Grey jedi is Reddit incarnate
Star Wars is most interesting when forceniggers are mysterious background characters and the focus is on smugglers and outlaws and undesirables.

The point of the Jedi isn't that they're purely good, it's that they strive to be purely good despite their failings. It's pointless to strive to be what you already are.

Dilate.

le enlightened centrists

Grey jedi is a load of shit and makes no fucking sense with whats established over and over in the canon.

The Force is both life and death and the balance of both.

The darkside tips this balance by causing more life or more death.

How the fuck can there be a inbetween.

What about striving to know the whole force without moral pretensions?

>No actual argument.

Gray Jedi fucking suck because they're always written terribly, their philosophy is flawed and their powers function like someone's retarded Star Wars OC.

Except that's pretentious nonsense.

>the whole force without moral pretensions?
That's just "light side of the force" according to Lucas, Dark side is just like a cancer that isn't supposed to be there

Lightside and darkside autists both tip it. The Jedi paid empty lip service to the idea of balance but didn't know it meant getting their shit wrecked.

"There's no good and evil, only grey" is inherently the same as "Gender is a spectrum". Dilate, you freak.

The force has an objective "dark side." It's not moral pretension to know that, it's just a fact. And once you've identified part of something as objectively negative, why would you tolerate any amount of that? Dumb enlightened centrist.

>DURR THERE’S NO RIGHT OR WRONG DUDE IT’S JUST A MORAL GRAY COMPASS LIKE LIFE DUDE
Fuck off, Star Wars was never about that dumb gay shit. It’s a good vs evil fight similar to the old comics like Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.

That's just the Sith. They don't have morals. If you have a problem with killing people for any reason beyond your own convenience then you do have morals.

>Still no arguments

When Josè Skywalker was born, he had a special power. He was known to be the strongest student in the Sith academy. He served in the clone wars fighting in a battle against Mace Windu. While they were fighting, Mace turned him to lightness, and Josè turned against his Sith Lord and defeated him. He lost apart of his ear in the battle which is why he doesn't have apart of his ear

likes: fighting , lightsabers, rock music, skulls, darkness, earrings, yellow (as favorite color)

dislikse: Sith, Jedi, George Lucas’s vision, the prequels

>a curse not a gift
it's neither you giga retard

didnt they touch on that grey jedi shit in KOTOR with jolee and he was basically just good but easily irritated and crotchety?
even his portrait had a tinge of blue amongst the grey mist and if you ever did anything remotely "evil" he'd chew you out
point is, pick a fucking side

Because real people are nuanced.

When you look at a goodie two-shoes or a mustache-twirling villain you're not looking at anything that resembles real people.

Real people have flaws, and it's by exploring those flaws we learn more about ourselves and others. This is why we find it interesting, that's why it's good story-telling.

>unique name
>unique name with adjective
>unique name
>this is cool
No, no it isn't.

That doesn't describe Gray Jedi characters, you retard. The people writing for them have no fucking idea how to write interesting characters, so they just give them a super special kind of force power to make them "stand out".

There is no good and evil. You cannot objectively quantify them nor prove them to be true by any measure. The only thing you have is personal value judgements.

they failed, the prequel trilogy is a story of their failings, balance wasn't about jedi failing, the force was imbalanced throughout all of it,

This just sounds like a refusal to actually engage with the material. But your loss I guess.

'Grey' Jedi are just fence-sitting sissies. Sith pick their path and walk it without fear or equivocation, and that is why they are power and all else is chattel.

This is a universe where there is a literal "Force" that has a light side and a dark side which can be quantified you stupid fuck.

Because everything has a dark side and if it's repressed you're just setting yourself up for a fall (like the republic). The dark side is not evil it's just the side governed by passion and emotion, the lack of which caused the Jedi order to do stupid shit like not rescuing Anakins mom, exiling his padawan and constantly cuckholding him out of an abundance of dispassion.

Are the basically Grey Wardens?

The problem is that people treat "grey jedi" as some kind of third way in between Sith and Jedi, and it isn't, it's just a Jedi. You have doctrinaire dogooders who try to force balance and harmony, and then you have "Grey Jedi" who understand that life is complicated, you can't force things, and that people need to make their own mistakes and feel things. These Grey Jedi aren't somehow separate from the Jedi, they're just one of two views held by the Jedi order. Jolee lives in the swamp because 1) the doctrinaire dogooders didn't like him hanging around talking about nuance and 2) his more hands off approach was more applicable in the jungle than in the urban centers.

By definition, you either are Light Side, or Dark Side. You can't be in between, you have to be one, the other, or wobbling in between them. There is no third option in between because the Light Side is harmony and balance, and the Dark Side is imbalance. There's no third option, but there ARE different philosophies within those two options.

The Jedi do have flaws. The difference between them and the Sith is that the Jedi try to recognize their flaws and correct them whereas a "flaw" to a Sith would be letting morality influence his actions.

Balance is the in-between. Bendu

Gray Jedis are just normal Jedi in denial, or retarded OCs who don't think or act like normal people. They're the quintessential type of character that wants power without the hard work.

you're 100% correct, but people are sonic the hedgehog tier autistic about Star Wars.
Even in the best SW game, you have to use cheats to be a level 20 smuggler.
The star wars worldbuilding was so good, just to be fucking trashed by supers

I didn't mean completely immoral, just not strongly identifying a moral position with what is objectively a natural duality in physics that preexists morality. You know, like a retard.

No, see . There's two schools of thought with the Jedi: the first says that the Jedi, due to their strength, power, and superior sensory capacity and understanding, should force balance and harmony. This is the Light Side. BY DEFINITION, "balance and harmony" is the Light Side. If two people are in a fight, the Jedi are authorized to go in, kick their asses to make them stop, and then sit them down and force some kind of accord. THIS side is basically the Grey Wardens.

The other side says that Jedi should not do that precisely because they are capable of it, and instead the Jedi should act as guides for society helping people in the background. Maybe there's a good reason that the two are fighting? Maybe a valuable lesson will be learned?

There is no in between balance (light side) and imbalance (dark side). Balance IS the light side.

Seethe and cope.

>The dark side is not evil it's just the side governed by passion and emotion
That's Sith propaganda. Look at how literally every single self described dark sider acts. They are destructive and cruel to a one.
