So earlier I started writing a comment but ran out of time to proof read and make sure my thoughts came across clear (yeah, I do stuff like that), so I just logged off and disgarded my reply. So, I get back on and lo and behold, C of K made most of my points and references, but in a much more eloquent way. (Seriously, the opening crawl comment - don't you find it crowded in my head?
) Good reference on the
house divided thing, I think I was going to say of the Jedi something about
good intentions and
the road to hell.
In defining the concepts of light (presumably good) and dark (presumably bad), would not the very nature of the Force have to be good in order for all of existance not to crash in on itself - refering back to the
house divided quote
. Also, perhaps the lack of emotion might have been one of the Jedi's slow downfalls. I remember a discussion before that touched on a Jedi's not marrying, so maybe a balanced emotion with family and spouse is healthy and should not be banned. Regardless, I think the Jedi order got way too complacent over the centuries and evil was ripe for another chance at domination. Interesting stuff here, the story concepts here just keep getting bigger and bigger...
