I subscribe to the idea that balance in the force means balancing your own inner light and darkness, not letting either fully control you or giving yourself purely to either.

[@Kit_Kat_Catastrophe]

The proto Jedi, Jedaii believed this too until they encountered the Rakatan who used the darkside almost exclusively. That is what gave birth to the Jedi and their hate of the darkside...the Jedaii hunted their own who refused to give up the dark...which between the Jedaii and Jedi lead to the creation of the Sith

[@Meravokas]

@@Kit_Kat_Catastrophe It was less an issue with full separation and divide between the two so much as the Jedaii wanted to simply lessen the usage (and therefore teaching) of the darker powers. This eventually caused a large enough fracture that there was an internal 'civil war' because those that wished to still practice the darker arts fell deeper and deeper into it before they lost the fight any the survivors were exiled. The Sith themselves (Beyond being using the dark side strongly) were not created until the exiles found themselves on Korriban and the actual Sith species that had natural affinity for the dark side (Much like the Rakatan, though in originally with less intently violent purposes) and used it in a more magik/alchemy based state than in normal manipulation most commonly.

There is also... all the Sith-adjacent cults that where not actually Sith, like the Prophets of the Dark Side in legends, Acolytes of the Beyond, etc... You also have, from the clone wars, the "Gungan art of mind over matter" which is the gungan's force tradition that bears a surprising resemblance to Sith Sorcerery of all things (it makes use of talismans and artifacts as foci much like Sith Sorcery, and is seen being primarily used for mind control by a clearly evil/dark leaning gungan, and Jar Jar seemed scared/wary of it), and the Bardotans, who where a heavily force sensative race that where very much firmly aligned to the light side, yet deeply distrusted the Jedi despite due to viewing them as child-snatchers out to steal their children from them and indoctrinate them in a tradition that was not their own. They praticed the force in a purely non-violent way, seeing the use of the force for combat in any shape or form as a big no-no, and their leaders, the Dagoyan Mystics, where very powerful in non-combat uses of the force I.E. Precognition, sensing, healing, etc... as a result.

​@@josephcittadino6541gungan art of mind over matter... suspiciously similar to sith sorcery... Darth Jar Jar theory seems more real than ever!! (Sadly not real but still... :P )

[@josephcittadino6541]

@@cesare_1302 I wish, but Jar Jar was frightened of it and said "not to mess with it," so that's actually a point AGAINST Darth Jar Jar. XD The guy who used it was like, a scheming gungan political bueracrat just underneath the Gungan Bosses who wanted the gungans to cut ties to the republic and join the separatists, and used the "gungan art of mind over matter" to mind control the bosses, with the intent to mind control them into signing an agreement with Count Dooku to join the separatists. Jar Jar stopped the plot though. So while its not hard-confirmed to be a strictly dark side tradition, the one time we say it used it happened to be being used for a very dark-side purpose, and likewise, the practitioner had to use a Talisman as a focus to use his force abilities, both of which hearken back to Sith Sorcery (which also typically requires the use of Talismans and other "magical foci"), even if the similarities might not have been intentional on the writer's part. That being said, at least in legends, the Gungans had ties to the Rakata of all species, as they where originally from Rakata Prime in Legends and moved to Naboo, I believe. So the "Gungan Art of Mind Over Matter" could have been a kind of watered down version of Rakatan Bogan that the Gungans picked up via living in the ruins of the Infinite Empire's heart and being able to use fragments of old Rakatan force writings to approximate a slapdash shadow of the Rakatan force pratices, which could explain the reason it is vaguely similar to Sith Sorcery (As Sith Sorcery could have also been in part derived from Rakatan Bogan)

[@ItsAVolcano]

The Aing Ti ships are pretty cool, they use their force abilities to power their Battlestar Galactica style jump drives, allowing for instant FTL teleports across their sector of the galaxy. Interestingly the force teleportation trick (minus the ship) was possible for Jedi and Sith Masters to learn. Although everyone in Legends who did learn it described it as being incredibly exhausting, often speculating as to how powerful the Aing Ti were to use such abilities so easily.

[@velnz5475]

because they didnt use the force for mundane things

[@daniels7907]

The Nightsisters came to the GFFA by way of Seatos, but they didn't stay there. Instead, they moved on to Dathomir. This leads me to wonder if the green ichor is not consistently available across the universe, but that it is found in varying quantities on different worlds. Worlds like Peridea and Dathomir may have a lot more of it than planets like Seatos. This could explain why the Nightsisters seemed oddly unambitious compared to other Dark Side factions. If their powers were limited on worlds with low ichor, they would have had motivation to prefer worlds where their powers were strongest.

[@HylianSith920]

Zakuul was such a fascinating society. I wish current canon would let us explore what the ruins of what Zakuul would look like in BBY-ABY time frame. Though I remember that Zakuul's knights were completely devoted to Valkorion, and believed that their strength in the Force was based on their devotion to the emperor.

[@chocomalk]

I think only Qui-gon got it right tho. Considering the use of the force was either to conquer life and death or to be an emissary of the force for good and balance, he won on both fronts.

[@xengen212]

A force for good isn't balance. Can't have good without bad.

[@chocomalk]

If he is basically living as a vessel for the force he is doing its will and that is balance, he literally conquered death, paved the way for Anikin and force ghosts etc etc, yup he got it right all without resorting to the dark side or falling prey to the glorious egos of the order. @@xengen212

[@derfuzzy8854]

In: Star Wars Tales, an old comic. Qui Gonn is on a mission with young Obi Wan. And the force leads them to a giant predator, that must be killed. Obi Wan questions this, because the creature wasn‘t necessarily evil, and maybe just a natural part of the life cycle, so by what right did they have to kill it?. Qui Gon doesn‘t really resolve this, but just mysteriously alludes to: Trust in the living force. There are many occasions, in which this „servant of the force“ theme is somewhat dubious, and ethically grey. Jedi often did questionable things, believing to serve justice/good/the force. Follow this line of thought to the extreme conclusion you have Kreia, who things the force IS a manipulative insidious power.

[@IsaacYoder-qf7jq]

I completly agree.

[@Meravokas]

The most interesting thing about the chiss is that it's actually theorized (in legends at least) that they were actually once humans much like with the zeltron. Albeit to it's own less extreme degree. A long haul sleeper ship ended up drifting off course or with the lack of proper FTL capabilities, had the place or list of potential places to colonize move out of range and ended up in the unknown regions. The conditions of the planet causing the evolutionary separation from mainline humans. I also don't remember if the Mirialan were a case of human mutation or just one of the few naturally near human species. Again speaking from Legends since we don't have much in the way of solidified Nu canon lore for pretty much any species.

[@QuintusAntonious]

Speaking of Vitiate, I'm convinced Palpatine's Project Cinder was his attempt to create the kind of death Vitiate did to resurrect himself.

[@danielcox7629]

There are 2 ways to use the force, dark and light. Light is going with the flow or requesting the force does things. Building a relationship with it. Then the dark side is about controlling it. If you want absolute control you'll gain power faster but it will have consequences. If you build a relationship with it you'll have steady influence and you can contend with much more power simply by letting the other person pit themselves against the force instead of you.

[@ironrhino12]

You should do a second one of these, the Kel Dor is a great one to refer. Also don’t the Mirialan have views that influenced padawaan and major plot event in the Clone Wars?

[@Meravokas]

The Mirialan after request to the Jedi council (unknown point in history.) gained the ability for Mirialan to exclusively train other Mirialan. However their cultural views of the force held no direct ties to light or dark as it was spiritual and for all intents and purposes, use of nexus points on the home world as ritual or ancestor... Worship isn't really the correct term, but it gives the general idea. As for the CW it wasn't a plot point or even specifically brought up during episodes that included both Barriss and Luminara, or singularly even. Species practice never came into reference at all.

The Path of the Open Hand: Their beliefs are more or less the opposite of Kreia's. They believe that that it's not the Force that's the enslaver, but the people using it. Including the Jedi. They believe that if you use the Force, even if it's for good, you will ultimately cause harm somewhere else. Their mission is to free the Force from all who would enslave it. It's a shame none of the lore channels ever discuss the High Republic. There's so much cool lore there, and it's absolutely not creatively bankrupt like some (who very obviously haven't read any of the books) claims. The Old Republic remains my favourite era, but the High Republic is a lot more creative.

[@skyden24195]

This is not directly related to the video topic, although details within the video reminded me of a couple of things I wanted to bring up with Star Wars fans, and I figure this is one of the best channels to bring it up. I recently re-watched the "Star Wars: Rebels" series and was reminded of two factors that have played or may play in the future of Star Wars. First, I know many people/fans were dumbfounded by General Organa's ability to pull herself from the vacuum of space when the bridge of her star-cruiser was compromised and all present were ejected into space, General Organa being the only survivor. In season 3, episode 3, Kanan Jarrus (Jedi Knight) accomplished the same feat when he is tricked by Maul and ejected out of an airlock, so the ability for a Jedi (or Force-wielder) to do such a thing did have precedence. Makes you wonder how long a force-wielder could survive in the vacuum of space. Second thing I want to bring up involves the Night-Sisters' ability to resurrect themselves. As mentioned in the video, this is typically done via corpses of fallen Night-Sisters, however, in season 3, episode 11 of "Rebels," deceased Night-Sisters are able to invade and take over the living bodies of Sabine and Kanan. So, since the Night-Sisters are able to resurrect corpses and take over the bodies/minds of persons/species that are not of Dathomir, then perhaps there could be corpses, other than Night-Sisters, held within the vast number of crates seen being loaded onto Thrawn's Star Destroyer in the "Ahsoka" series. They could be filled with former crew members of said Star Destroyer. This could be further reason for returning to Dathomir as that is where they would be able to find the spiritual-remnants of all the fallen Night-Sisters. Take the corpses back to Dathomir, let the deceased Night-Sisters have the corpses. Boom, instant undead army.

[@derfuzzy8854]

In the new „high republic“ comics they show various force cults on Jedha, with different views. Even one radical, whose members think that using the force is harmful and must be outlawed. Because a force user would siphon the living force away from the larger galaxy, by manilulating it. Kind of like a butterfly effect. Lift a stone here and a catastrophe occurs on another planet. So better not disturb it.

THANK YOU FOR USING THE TERM CORRECTLY!!!!! "Outside of the box thinking" Meaning the thinking comes from outside the conformity of "the box".

This irks tf out of me and you said it correctly and I appreciate that.

[@allyourpiesarebelongtous]

Why would "out of the box thinking" necessarily mean thinking outward from the inside the box, when a much clearer phrase would be "in the box thinking", if that was the intent? To me (and I suspect to most others), "out of the box" simply functions as a contraction of "outside of the box", and operates far less ambiguously than what you're suggesting.

[@ulfberht4431]

[@jnort95]

Great Video!

[@dennisjensen4375]

My view comes from a combination of the pre-Jedi/Sith folk who were put on a planet by other more enlightened beings that seemed to want to teach them the nature of the Force. On this planet if the force got out of balance there would be nasty force storms. Someone to light was made to focus on the dark and vice-versa. This imbalance concept then seem to expand from a pure planetary basis to a more galactic basis when the Jedi and Sith were formed and the Sith and then the Jedi left that planet. As these "force storms" moved from a single planet to the entire galaxy in the form of, I believe, galactic wars caused by this imbalance in the Force. Which is mirrored in the concept that if there arose a great dark or light force user the Force would create a counter part to that and the Force Storms would continue. As such, and as RensStoryteller states, balance in the force means balancing the force within so that is does not become unbalanced without. However, I also find the multi-colored view of the force to be quite interesting as well, since not only were these users potentially more powerful than the Jedi/Sith but they used it without seeming issues with this Light vs Dark side issue. So perhaps this blending of the use of the force was done using balanced elements of the Light and Dark in a way that created colors beyond just Black (all colors) and White (absence of color). I tried to approach this from an RPG mechanics stand point and tried to figure out a means of creating a system that reflected the balance concept where one used the Light (for control) and the Dark (for power) which seems to me to be a means if fully understood would be a beneficial means of doing so. There was also a group that came sort-of after the Jedi/Sith from the lady who was a Jedi became a Sith then broke away from the Sith and taught a more balanced approch. These folk, while still thought of as Sith by the Jedi, used both Light and Dark in harmony and most never gave into the Dark Side -- so again this strongly speaks to the seeming fact that the Force is meant to be used in balanced way.

[@Feyyore]

[@jacoblansman8147]

Well the Zeffonians are, to the best of my knowledge, extinct. The Chiss only have access to the Force in a brief and specific way. The Dathomiri Nightsisters are fairly isolationist. Emperor Valkorion of the Zakuul Empire was killed centuries ago, and not long after Vaylin and Arcann were killed, the Zakuul Empire ceased to be. Vagadarr's views and methods revolve around a living rock golem that I presume is only found on Vagadarr. Kreia died before Valkorion and her philosophy has only been confirmed to be seen once since, by Luke Skywalker who had a different outlook on how to deal with such a bleak perspective. The Rakatan Empire was largely reduced to dust millennia ago after they wiped themselves out. The Aing-Tii sound like they wouldn't attempt to fill the boots of either the Jedi or Sith; certainly they wouldn't force their views on anyone.

There is no death, there is only the force.... And I am its Master." -Tenebrae To me the most interesting, and darkest view of the force is that of Tenebrae Most view it as a greater power to draw upon. be it for powers sake, or for justice. Others view it as an energy to channel to bring clarity, purpose, and/or to follow. Fundamentally they all view it as some great thing beyond them. How they choose to utilize and live with it varies. But it is something external to draw upon. But in the mind of a Psychopathic God; The force is not something greater. There is no religious belief behind it. It is no deity. In others it is a victim. In him it is a slave. Even Abeloth is tame in comparison to his depravity. Abeloths darkness was born of love. Corrupted and twisted into a need for companionship. A selfish, and often very cruel desire to remake the family she lost, and find again that love. Tenebrae has never known the concept of love. He is incapable of empathy. He is a violent sadist turned god through the suffering and death of his victims. His view of the force is similarly as twisted.

Idea of force as Rainbow is actually supported by sources. Lightsaber colors were usually associated with different aspects of the force. Green, Yellow and Blue with Jedi. While Orange, Red and Purple with the Sith. But those were not clear divisions. Like Mace Windu using Kyber and techniques associated with Sith Warriors. When Jedi Healers use "Pink" Lighsabers (natural Red crystals) as manipulation of life was classic Sith technique and use of those powers needed to be heavily regulated (red crystals were banned by the Jedi Council for political reasons and healers almost not use swords anyway). While Jedi also commonly didn't trust Yellow Kyber crystal users, who have tendency of breaking protocols and somewhat vampire powers. It is why Jedi Sentinels were turn into ridged secret police (what actually betray order becoming Inquisitors). While most actual Sentinels were pushed out of order and become some unimportant agricultural Jedi. As Order didn't understand they powers, what actually make them extra capable of tracking Sith, as they could sample powers of Force users. Greatest Jedi of all time Meetra Surik actually was a Jedi Sentinel. There was also rare White Kyber, what implied someone who find true balance of the force (Black Kyber do not exist, those are elaborate forms of energy blades). Though White crystals was also associated with fanatics, who commonly go rouge against Jedi Order (so called Gray Jedi). So there may be truth in claims that Force is actually evil?

Aren’t they just called “the Zeffo”? Not “Zeffonians”

Valcorian isn't dead. You can't kill immortal. He's simply watching and waiting just lik he did for thousands of years or at least I hope 😁 you have to have a ultimate bad guy in SW!

So we have rip off’s of the Polynesian Wayfinder, Tolkien Elves, Lord of the Flies, Agnostics, Quakers, and Colonialism. Allen, you forgot about the Fel Imperial Knights.

[@Aewon84]

Tolkien elves are Norse elves. He does tweak them a little bit, but they're essentually just elves from Norse mythology.

[@lingoistj1956]

@@Aewon84 the part where the Zefonians ended up in civil war and departed into the Unknown Regions resemble the Elves of the First and Second Ages that culminated with them leaving to the Grey Havens

Pretty much. It's what happens when you let a bunch of people do their own thing without talking to each other.

You're generous to list the Radagarr and not comment on the quality of the comics. Marvel's new canon series got off to a promising start but those Yoda issues were a plunge to the bottom. The writing felt like a first draft and the art is Larocca either tracing photos or avoiding any faces or natural body language by keeping everyone off panel and backlit. I honestly stopped buying the Star Wars issues until they got a new artist.

What bothers me about the force is it's sentience.

The time is right for ALL of the Force Users of the Galaxy to gang together, and take on THE YUUZHAN VONG!!! Come on Disney! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO NEXT!!!! lol

[@Lobsterwithinternet]

No, they don't. Not if they had any sense.

[@mremington8]

I admire your ongoing staying power to the franchise despite all the wokeness. I hold out hope that one day the evil Disney execs that cast destructive influences and lore breaking pandering will be defeated and good writing and common sense will return, along with the fans. thank you Alan for keeping the ember of possibility alive, they should hire you as a consultant before putting out more garbage.

saw the israel flag in the background, unsubscribed. I dont like people who support terrorist states

[@raybarry4307]

I'm Begging you on my knees until they bleed to set straight the morons that say the rebellion won because the Force was on their side 🙄. The Force isn't on anyone's "side". It just is the Force. Like nature, it doesn't take sides. Orrrrr maybe you do think that way as well. Either way l'd love to know.

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

Thank you for you support of Israel 🇮🇱. It means more than you know.

[@animefitnessandphilosophy]

[@СергейМедведев-ы5ч]
