It's Star Wars. I'm pretty sure they pull 90% of this shit outta their asses. And then see a doctor as that's not very healthy

[Furtuka]

[KingofstarrySkies]

Oh, you know I love you. :I

[Frumple]

... seriously though, grey jedi and shit are canon, as are other sorts of non-jedi, non-sith force users and... yet other space magic bullshitery. Star Wars gets weird, really.

[Furtuka]

Yep. But the force and the jedi/sith dichotomy does not work the way KoSS is espousing.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I did say it was an opinion. Just never seemed like that to me.

[itisnotlogical]

If the Force is a field created by all living things, it doesn't make sense to me that there's a "light" and "dark" side. If the Force surrounds, creates and is created by living things, then that means there are completely evil beings around created by or creating the "dark" side of the Force. This either means that both the Jedi and Sith are wrong and the Force is neutral, or the 'verse is literally black and white with beings of pure evil and pure goodness running around. KOTOR 2 seems to think the former, and it's what I go with because I find it more interesting.

Also, there's no rule saying that Jedi couldn't learn powers traditionally used by the Sith. In Jedi Academy you actually have to learn some dark powers by the endgame because you get more Force points than there are light-side powers.

Last I paid even the most half-arsed of attention, it's not so much good or evil as it is the "forces" are self-reinforcing and strongly emotion influencing. And the proverbial dark side is the more passionate bits of the emotional spectrum, which is why indulging in it tends to lead to bugfuck insanity and conquering galactic quadrants. Light side leads to, well. The old republic Jedi and shit.

To a large extent, there's really not a light or dark side, iirc. There's just the force, and what happens to the user when they use it. The broad effects of the latter is what gets it categorized, more or less.

Re: Earwigs, Leeches, or Fire:
I once coated my thumb in flaming liquid plastic as a child (Long story involving a Tesla Coil science fair project), and earwigs look TERRIFYING. At least a leach is usually just a black blobby guy with a nasty mouth; they're even used by medical professionals, even to this day (LESS so now, but still in some cases). I'd pick the leeches.

Unfortunately, a lot of Star Wars writers have a tendency to try and shore up the Jedi absolutism by making all the various sects into either Jedi with the serial numbers filed off or Dark Side lovers.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I read 'dark side lovers' as 'darth Sid lovers'
I'm now imaging an ice age- Star Wars cross over

Left side of neck started cramping at around one today during chemistry class, wasn't bad but made paying attention unpleasant.  Then, after my last class ended and I was waiting for the rest of school to end it started to get a bit worse, to where it became uncomfortable to sit in certain positions.  During academic team it got to the point that it would hurt more if I started turning my header to the left or too far right.  On my way home it got so bad that I took the long way home, over twenty extra minutes, because I wasn't able to turn left safely.  When I got home I wasn't able to turn my neck left at all because the pain immediately made me turn right if I tried turning my head left.  Mom is a nurse, and gave me a heavy dose of ibuprofen.  Pain just got worse, to where if I turned my head at all it would hurt.  I tried to go to sleep, but I was unable to move my head to put a pillow underneath it in order to support it.  I had to get back up, which was also painful, took some more painkillers that had that drowsy effect, and moved my bedside table to right next to the middle of my bed with my foot. and then used that as a footrest since I couldn't roll myself around to lay on my bed properly  Then I had my parents move my bed so it wasn't ight up against the wall, so that I could actually breathe with my head face down against the side.  Finally managed to go to sleep about six hours ago, and just woke back up.  Neck still hurts like a bitch, but the only movement that isn't automatically stopped by pain is moving my head backwards.  or all the way to the left. 
Eveyone on facebook is talking about how it was apparently snowing or something earlier, and that school is going to be delayed, so hopefully I won't have to go at all, since without those painkillers it is way too uncomfortable to go to sleep right now.

Dude? You should probably get that looked at.
