Dark VS Light Side of the Force

Okay about time I edited this thread after 1/2 year of life.

Can you imagine SW if there was only the Dark or the Light side??? It would *definitely* _STINK_!
However, which is more powerful? I think it's the Dark Side:

=> More Jedi fall to the d/s than Sith/Dark Jedi go to the l/s (MANY more)

=> Look at the duels (in the movies). You see the Sith being calm (prolly fighting more than one Jedi) and the Jedi being ready to shit on themselves :P

=> The d/s force powers are offensive (used to kill :cool: ) whereas the l/s force powers are defensive. And we all know the best defense is offense ;)

=> NORMALLY, when some Jedi fights a Sith the Sith has the Force Power advantage. Not many Jedi can absorb D/S Force Powers. They must be really trained, and that's unusual. OK Yoda is the force beast (I mean he handles the force like no-one else can, hmm, maybe like Palpatine, just maybe, but prolly a bit more) so he was really cool defending against Dooku's force powers. But, see, Dooku was less trained than Yoda in the Force and still he could attack him alright without losing (lightsaber fight is something else, not concerning the Force Sides). So as you can see less trained D/Sers can beat the hell outta a Jedi using the force alone :D :P (don't include Yoda eh)

=> And well, after seeing the movies, haven't you noticed how much cooler the Sith are than the Jedi? :)


******BTW: Who wants to see a Yoda VS Palpatine fight on ep3!!!???******

i like this part. You are right, Dooku fired with his lightning and Yoda absorbed it, and the entire battle was in balance. And I agree there is no stronger side. It depends on the strength, knowledge and Force abilities of the User that can use the force stronger, regerdless if it's Dark or Light. If Dooku was a Light Jedi, he would be equal strong as he is now.
People say that the Dark side is stronger 'couse they use it to destroy and not for life.

Both sides have to be equal. The d/s certainly isn't stronger, as evidenced in the duel between Yoda and Dooku. In addition, the Sith aren't always calmer than Jedi, also evidenced in the duel between Yoda and Dooku. In that fight, you had the pinnacles of light and dark Jedi, and the Force itself was in balance...It was the skills of the duelers that made the difference. Also, Yoda was much more calm than Dooku, which gave him the upper hand. Yoda had been around long enough to know that a light Jedi had nothing to fear from the dark side.

Someone made the remark that the dark side can kill the user...but the Force itself, regardless of side, does that. In the EU, one of the students at Luke's academy (Dorsk 81, I believe) used enough light side force power (the collective power of all of his fellow students channeled through him) to blow a fleet of Star Destroyers completely out of the system. He was also killed in the process by the sheer power of the light side.

In the end, the two are equal. The Force is neither inherently good nor evil--it is the one who wields it that makes the difference. :alliance:

D/S is tra5h, L/S pwnz joo. really now though, we've discussed this before and everyone knows that darksiders suck because they have to try and cheat to do anything and they still lose. Its not our fault that the only l/s that is showcased btw is not cool. l/s is just as easily awesome as d/s it just doesn't make for as good of a movie if the main character is just a badass who can't be beat. It becomes a dbz episode, pardopn me those who enjoy that.

Well Jaws not every jedi can be as strong as dooku or possess the experiance to resist a dark force powers. Yes in some ways the dark side is stronger but The light side was able to train themselfs to sheild or resist the harming effects of the dark side. Also thats how the jedi mannaged to destroy the sith in the first purge to destroy the sith once and for all.

Wel, like Obi says, depends on your point of view. for example: If you see that there are only 2 Sith Lords and the jedi have a real problem with just those 2, than the Dark Side is stonger.
If you see that The Jedi have defeaten the Sith more than once, than the Light Side is stronger,

But I agree with Bail, they are even strong. And the strengt also depends of the person itself. Like Obi-1 was not strong enough to defeat Dooku alone. And Yoda and Dooku both were furious with the lighsabers and they both knew other abilities of the Force.

It ONLY looks like the Darkside is more powerful, in the films anyway, all that lightning and moody guys in goth costumes. IMO I think that they are both equal, but they both also have their failings. Darkside think that they are stronger and cannot be resisted and the Lightside are too arrogent to see that the Sith exist.

As someone said earlier two sides of the same coin, Ying/Yang and all that!:)

Light Side is more powerful, but less persuasive. It takes more self control to use, but always tops dark side when done with care. And I can't think of ANY instance in which darkside wins, let alone always prevailing. :confused:

No Force side is stronger, because they're all part of one, like yin and yang. Dark side can't exist without light and light without dark. The dark side is more tempting, it's easier. I think the light side has more possibilities. But, DS pwns!

Another thing, the dark side can kill a Jedi. Along with the power, there is hate, anger, and rage. These things betray just as they help an dark jedi. The control, clear mind, and disciplin of a light jedi is what makes him or her stronger in the end.:alliance:

I agree with bail. They are both equal. The appeal of the darkside is because of the power one would gain from using dark forces. Not power over jedi, but others in general. If anything the mind of a light Jedi is strong than a dark Jedi because they can resist the temptation of the dark side.:alliance:

They are both equal...
For every Light Side power, there is a Dark Side Power to counter (or replace it)
Like:
ForceDrain --> Lightning (Lightning doesn't hurt when a Jedi uses ForceDrain)
And always remember the conversation between Luke and Master Yoda:
"Is the Dark Side stronger?" luke asks
"No, that not. More decievious..." answers Yoda

Its pretty obvious that the dark side is more POWERFULL... But i like the light side! imagine a universe of death stars - everyone being scared to death every day, just to go to work! And then imagine a universe of naboos and yavins, with birds singing - all beautifull... Id choose nr 2!!! Jedi has more colorfull lightsabers to.. :P Sith only has red! But lets consider the game - what light powers do i use? Heal. What dark powers do i use? Drain, lightning and grip... You can of course choose yourself, but a lvl 3 heal = YummY! :D but then, a lvl 3 drain is nice to... AND; the Jedi cant get busyyyy :( The dark side on the other side can do whaEva it wants!! the jedi has sworn an oath or something, poor bastards.. :P In "reality" the dark side consumes it aLL!.. - allways its about a jedi turned baaad.. Another thing, why hadnt Sidious trained more sith to guard him..? Desann did it.. Someone did say The path to the dark side is fast but fatal(?) and the path to the light side sucks..??? why dont make a whole bunch of "reborn" and attack luke? Does anybody have an answer??

Dark will always prevail.

Its presance is always troubling for the jedi as luke is constantly mumbling "I sense a disturbance in the force", "I feel disturbance in the force" bleh bleh bleh but you never hear the Darkside complaining about Jedi when they come face to face, in fact they like it due that they know they are the stronger. For more information look at my sig :D
