Poll: Sith Or Jedi?

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

I would choose Exile Jedi.
Yeah I would tend to destroy the space-time continuum, and leech off of my friends, but I could at least be free.
I did choose Sith however, as they are slightly more "badass" than the Jedi.

 

[teebeeohh]

where is my cade skywalker option?

Gray Jedi. All the fun of force lighting without the guilt and no "No fucking" rule.

I'm about to be a massive continuity wanker, so feel free to ignore me.

Going by the book continuity (which believe me is better than the movie continuity) the Jedi of the Old Republic believed in sexual relationships as long as no emotion was involved, and even their views on emotion were less of the 'don't feel emotions' and more 'allow yourself to let go of the connections emotions have to the real world.' It wasn't that you weren't allowed to feel, it was a zen-like 'feel, but allow the negative to be detached from yourself.' I'm explaining it badly but oddly enough the Avatar philosophy from The Last Airbender was actually closer to The Jedi Code as described by the books.

Also, again in the books, there are good Jedi who use Force Lightning. It gets established a few times that the Force is not dark or light, it is the lightness or darkness within oneself that matters. You can be an entirely righteous, pure-hearted jedi and still use Force Lightning. There's a scene in RotJ where Luke uses Force Choke on two guards for heaven's sake, and the Jedi have never exactly had a 'no-killing' policy.

The difference between the Jedi and Sith is summed up best by Matthew Stover in the Ep 3 novelisation. A Jedi draws their control of the Force from nature, and the natural Forces that surround them. Instead of trying to control the Force, they allow the Force to move through them and control their actions. A Sith draws the Force into themself and makes it serve their will. A Jedi is a 'conduit' for the Force to perform, a Sith is a 'plug' that stops the force so they can use it for themselves. The difference between a river or a dam, and of course a dam can break, meaning Sith have much more liklihood of just snapping and going kill-crazy, or of being destroyed from within by their hatred and rage.

So yeah, I'll take Jedi thanks, I'd much rather be Obi-Wan than Anakin.

Jedi, cause i'm a nice guy

 

[R4ptur3]

Light side because i would just have to be a good guy to show those sith a thing or two. Also i can use a blue lightsaber.

 

[conmag9]

I've always been a fairly "by the books" sort of person, and the Jedi code has a certain pleasant resonance to me. I also consider myself at least relatively compassionate, and the dark side will take that (and just about everything else) from me, no matter my good intentions.

As for the whole lack of emotion...The Jedi we've seen are decidedly NOT emotionless. It's about control, not absence. Besides, serenity is certainly a worthwhile state to pursue.

And I don't like red.

 

[CleverCover]

I'd probably be either the really really Light Side Jedi that's so nice she glows.
Or I'd be like Jolee Bindo, which isn't a horrible prospect.

Either way...Jedi FOREVERRRRRR.

 

[BoTTeNBReKeR]

In games I usually go for the good side first and then the evil side in a 2nd playthrough. This is usually because the evil side in games is usually not really evil, but more being an asshole.

However, in a real life situation, I have this feeling I'd fall to the dark side eventually cause nothing in real life is black or white...

So, I picked Sith (also, they look cooler!)

 

[EvilMaggot]

Dark side, Sith all the way... mad on massive powers! always more fun to be evil... being alittle crazy and why ?... i always like the villians... they look cooler (evil), they get the cooler stuff ( just look at Darth Malgus.. and his lady friends ^^ and Darth Vader.. awesome )

Its just... Sith are just cooler, tougher, more smexy.. and red lightsaber UH!..Evil/Dark/Sith ftw!

and i tend to do this in everygame i have the chance in always evil = twice the fun

 

[Scarim Coral]

While I would prefer to be on the light side but I know my anger and hate can tempt me to the dark side easily.

 

[PrimoThePro]

Depends on one crucial thing: Post Imperial Jedi or Pre Imperial Jedi? Post Imperial let you choose your own path, fall in love, that kind of thing. Pre Imperial are these archeic assholes who won't let you do anything and never stray from their rigid code.

 

[CaptainChelt]

I'd have to say Gray Jedi, but I wouldn't wear the gray robes because gray is very dull, I'd have some heavy armour or robes i "borrowed" from a Jedi
Also to have all that power and not flaunt it at least slightly is kinda lame

I wouldn't choose the dark side because every dark force user is constantly at each others throats and i cudnt stand being in such a tense atmosphere :L:L:L

Seriously those guys need just have a pint, watch some funny movies and chill the fuck out :L:L

 

[jovack22]

The idea of Sith I find to be extremely childish and irresponsible.

 

[Gerard Hughes]

Jedi because the sith just doesnt work

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I wouldn't be able to chose. I think I would most likely end up with the siths sooner or later because of my personality. I do love the thought of the jedi though and I think they're cool.

 

[drisky]

Grey Jedi is a cop out answer, your ether a pure monk or the dark side consumes you thats how it works. So bring on the all consuming evil.

 

[Warforger]

Light side because honestly I like different color light sabers

I hate that, originally Jedi and Sith didn't have much to do with light sabers as much as they did the force, hell Sith were so powerful in the force they weren't originally supposed to have them, Vader had one because he kept his from his Jedi days. That's why in Episode 6 Palpatine calls it "Take your Jedi Weapon" and not "take your lightsaber" but doesn't bust out his own, but because of the prequel trilogy and the huge number of games good and bad coming out of it the stuff has changed ALOT. Although that's all it was, originally Darth Vader was just supposed to be some unimportant Imperial General, Lucas didn't know who he was until the second draft of Star Wars, and Darth Vader and Luke's dad were two different characters, hence why Kenobi calls him Darth instead of Anakin in the original.

But whatever, you could say it's a good thing because it made Star Wars more original and stand out more.

Whoooo nelly, we have a good-sized skirmish going. Pretty close running. Jedi here. Better health plan. 99% guarantee of not being stabbed in the back as opposed to the Sith's policy which is only 20%. You'd think they'd go out of business but a dead Sith recruit with no family/dependents can't collect on his insurance, can he? I used to be a hands-off, 100% neutral guy but I've been warming up to the idea of becoming a dedicated good guy. Lots of benefits from keeping people alive. Sure you probably don't all the glory and booty from becoming a butcher of worlds, but there are less people whose sole goal in life is to put a lightsaber through your heart if you go into law enforcement.

 

[Ham_authority95]

I don't think this question has been asked for awhile, so here it goes, If you could use the force, which side? Sith Or Jedi? Also, Please explain why.

I really don't have a preference, I'd rather be freelance fallen jedi. xD Dark Side powers with Jedi training.

Why can't I choose "Ewoks"? I'm really in the mood to upset some fans.
