The Force: Shadow Jedi

The Force is traditionally broken down into two unique aspects Dark and Light. Yet the question is often asked, "is the Force really so polarized?". If the Dark and Light sides of the Force are like two sides of one coin then there would be no confusion. However the Force is an energy field, and such cannot be classified in this way. The force in essence is pure energy neither good nor evil, these are sentient concepts and are injected into the force by conduits or wielders of the Force.Therefore we should not consider the Force as Light and Dark sides, for the Force cannot be classified into such opposing categories.

"What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?" ~Dune Sea

If the Force is not black and white, what is in-between?

The Shadow Side; Force users on the edge of Dark and Light, using them in harmony and achieving a balance such that they follow neither side fanatically. Moreover Shadow Side Force users adapt their Force ability to the situation they are in. A Shadow user will not use the Light side when what is called for is the Dark. Most Dark Side users give themselves completely to the Darkside and use their abilities only to commit evil acts of hate, anger, aggression and fear. Whereas a Light Side user only uses the Force for good such as defense and knowledge.

Is the Shadow Side a healthy balance?

"A student must find balance within their own hearts, whether they follow the Light or Dark paths is not something we can dictate." ~Force Master

This is a decision only the Force User themselves can make, it is not the purpose of this Academy to tell students how they should use and pursue the Force. Guidance and knowledge are what we provide.
