Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
oh I see. Also I think Grey Jedi is a really bad idea. Jedi are supposed to be good already. It's all because George turned the Jedi into a creepy incompetent cult in the prequels so they have to salvage it
now I like the idea of a Grey Jedi as a Jedi who left the order without being seduced by the Dark Side. Someone wandering and confused, like Ashoka or what it looks like Luke will be. But I don't think it should be shown as a good thing
Yeah. I think that a guy who actually embraces a larger point of view of the force would be awesome, without being seduced by old gay sith lords and want to RULE THE GALAXY. Like there's nothing wrong with shooting lightning out of your hands.
I think the Lightning is evil because it's the one force move that is purely offensive without any utility. Same with choking people. Whereas Jedi moves are always neutral. Just moving stuff with your mind is not evil and has utility. Same reason they originally use light sabers rather than guns. And remember Yoda says Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, not attack. Choking and lightning only attack
plo koon used the lightning. And only using the force for defense is lame. I think it's ok to be offensive as long as you're not like getting off on people's suffering. What's wrong with using emotions to make you stronger?
It's not like it's just some shittzle Lucas made up. Draws from the Buddhist idea of contentment and serenity. In a more practical sense it's kinda like Tim Roth in The Hateful Eight or Rachel in Batman Begins. Justice must be delivered without passion. Otherwise you're just getting mad and getting revenge, and not doing something just because it's right. Fighting for the wrong r
But I don't care about justice. I just care about having a good life. I'm not gonna follow some dumb moral code club but I'm not gonna torture dudes either
Some people claim the Sith are the real good guys, unironically. It's all a point of view. Anakin had it right dude.
Anyway I don't not support the existence of Grey Jedi (Qui-Gon was a good example of one, as was Count Dooku for a little while). I just think the treatment of them in story and fanon is kind of like a Mary Sue, like they get to be edgy and cool like bad guys but still be good guys!! They're just so
I think Pablo Hidalgo put it best when he said "it's like saying 'I'm a Vegetarian who eats meat once in a while'"
