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!!!???******

yea, the force lightning exists of a bolt of enery that can be absorbed by a lightsaber
*technical info*
he power channels through a positively charged continuous energy lens at the center of the handle. The beam then arcs circumferentially back to a negatively charged high energy flux aperture. A superconductor transfers the power from the flux aperture to the power cell..

Like that.

Jedi can absorb lightning, either by Yoda style or by absorbing it with they're sabers ;)

Not all Jedi can do that. (Games are just games eh).

I mean the fact that Obi1 absorbed lightning with his saber is l4m3.

I dont know. Eventually I think the lightside is more powerfull. I mean a dark jedi can use all the lightning he wants but if a jedi simply absorbs it. It doesnt do anything :P

It doesn't unlock your full potential, thats just a slur of words used by sith to lure jedi to the dark side. It's merely a quick way of becoming powerful. The light side is equally, but takes a lot longer.

I think the Dark Side has different powerfull Force abilities. Like the Fight between Dooku and Yoda.
Dooku used lightning, but yoda did not, he could reflect it or absorb it but did not use a power that was similar to it. That makes the Dark Side strong, but not Stronger. The dark side uses their power more for destroing things, and the light side does not. Like I said, it depends of the potential power and wisdom of the force, of a person.

The darkside does not make you go beyond your potential, it merely brings out your full potential because you no longer practice the restraint taught by the lightside. The down side is that you dont control darkside power, it controls you, you basically become a slave to it. A very wise Jedi with a powerful mind, like Luke Skywalker, can harness their true potential while staying in the light, therefore keeping their sanity and control over the situation. So, while much more difficult to harness, I believe the lightside is stronger.

Also, your comment about offense and defense is simple semantics, it depends on the person. A Jedi can use their powers offensively, because doing so most likely saved someone else's life, therefore being a defensive move.

I do not ask for your poor, or your hungry, I do not want your tired and sick, It is your corrupt I claim, It is your evil that will be sought by me, With every breath, I shall hunt them down, Each day, I will spill their blood, till it rains down from the skies.
Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace, These are not polite suggestions, these are cores of behavior, And those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
There are varying degrees of evil, I am a due lesser form of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain, For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see me, And on that day, you will reap it, And I will send you to whatever god you wish.

Adding to Xylo. The Dark Side is like a drug, it can enhance you beyond your potential and what not. However, the longer it courses through your vains, the more energy it requires. Palpatine=Long Term Effects of the Dark Side's Grip. IT's true. IN the rpg, you have to start making hp checks after youve converted to the dark side, every time you lose to a check, you lose vitality. The dark side does kill you. The light side does not, though in the NJO, luke stresses how exhausting it can be when tapping deeply into the force, himself nearly collapsing after saving Jacen from the Yuuzhan Vong in Dark Tide PArt 1. However, there is no end in the light side. A paladin knight is born through the ultimate sacrifice, there he loses his physical form and becomes one with the force, generating a spiritual form, hence, Obi-Wan. However years after ROTJ Obi-Wan tells luke that his ability to maintain his spirit form is diminishing, and he slowly fades away. Therefore, rather than rot myself into a friggin prune (palpatine) I would choose the noble light side, despite its harder path.:alliance:

I think that thier equal. true more jedi do fall to the dark side, but falling shows that they have weak minds. it shows that they cannot resist temptation. Haveing a strong mind, thinking clearly in battle and in life, is nessisary. therefor, the jedi are equal to the sith, just in different areas. sith are stronger physicly, jedi are stronger mentally.
