Exactly, the force dyad was not Bout light and dark. If so then once Kylo became Ben again, then the dyad would have broken. Instead they could see eachother, Rey passed him the lightsaber and Palpatine used it to rejuvenate himself. Ben also learned the force heal from Rey through it. I'm not a st fan but I've seen them and its obvious the dyad stayed in place even after Ben rejected the darkside. Its like they watch part of a story and think they have a new cool idea but do t watch the whole show or film to understand what's truly going on. Whats amazing is these clowns get full access to all of LFL resources and still can't figure this out.

[@TheChzburger]

The concept of there being no light without darkness is not something she came up with, so first of all let's dispel that - Ridley Scott's movie Legend established this, as it was some of the final words Tim Curry's character shared with Tom Cruise's character before getting cast into the void in the third act of the movie. Secondly, Matthew Stover's novelization of Revenge of the Sith touched on this beautifully with this quote: "The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins - but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars." The way Matthew Stover describes it, the presence of light presents the scenario of an equal amount of darkness, but it only takes a small amount of light to undermine and defeat any amount of darkness.

[@AntarcticMagpie]

It's almost as if George Lucas has a degree in the study of humans..... and learned that the "[best] fairy-stories always imitate the greatest fairy-story of them all: Creation." -JRR Tolkien Art doesn't come from nowhere: the Living God, the Lover of art and beauty, infused creativity into us. To bastardise someone else's creation not only mocks them, it also says to God "I don't care for what you gave me enough to use it."

[@davidnobre5660]

when Yoda said "for the Force is my ally and a powerful ally it is" he meant that the Force means good to him, it helps him in his life, it's like a relationship between the 2 in the case of the Sith it's not a relationship, they don't hear the Force at all, it's just a Weapon to them, that corrupts the Force, in turn their body gets corrupted and decays aswell

[@jamesl4008]

[@buhboni7324]

If it wasn't clear before, it's clear now, she's bending Star Wars to fit her worldview. Her perspective on the force is fundamentally at-odds with George and (big surprise) with reality. The very essence of the Sith and with bad people in general is that they are at odds with nature, with life

He learned from the mistakes of those that came before him and learned to balance his own life and desires, which in turn allowed him to show tremendous balance and power in the Force.

I had the privilege of a week with the Shaolin monks in their temple in China. They practise pure Zen Buddhism. George based the force on Chi energy that exists as a force in everything. It’s not something you plug into for good or evil, it is! The Shaolin monks don’t study how to attach to the energy it is there inside everyone and everything. A force of life if you like. They learn through practice, discipline and meditation to develop it to its full power inside each and everyone. They don’t train to attach unless threatened, they train to defend. Sound familiar. The Jedis are mindful of the moment, that’s where power lies if they have realized their full potential.

The Force isn’t dark or light - it’s just the Force. The USER makes it dark or light based on how they USE IT. In that, I 100% agree with Theory. Balance isn’t something you must “unlock” in other to use the Force. Balance is the light. When you’re unbalanced, you’re the dark. The Dark Side and the Light Side are not the same as good or evil or weak or strong. Mace Windu, a good guy, could tap into dark side abilities (his use of Vapaad for one, Shatterpoint for another) without becoming unbalanced. It does NOT make Mace evil. This article is written in such a way that it is confusing and quite possibly paraphrasing what Leslye Hedland really means. I’m not defending her but it seems like they’re taking her words and trying to explain it in their way. “Just for clicks!”

I agree. Also, in regards to "the Force is the Force", I find it interesting that while George Lucas says "light side" in interviews, he didn't use that phrase in all 6 movies. It's either "The Force" or the "Dark Side." The Dark Side IS mbalance.

[@goldengoose6950]

This is correct except for your first statement. The living Force is inherently meant to give life, to be a positive or "light" reinforcement that binds all of existence together. And then as you said, the dark side disrupts the natural flow of balance and must be purged in order to be brought back into balance

[@NatalieBall-mw5nz]

I think you could also apply the idea of cockiness to the jedi, they refused to believe that a sith could be controlling their moves to a level that they were told what was coming and they ignored it completely. It had been so long since anything challenged them that they forgot there was something out there that actually could. All light is not balance as all light also leads to the idea of we are untouchable

All Light is Balance as the Dark Side is supposed to represent a Cancer to the Force. The Force is the Human Body, and the Dark Side is the Cancer, that’s how it has always worked.

[@nolanhelgerson616]

The thing I’m worried about for the Acolyte is just how they’re gonna portray the Jedi. This is supposed to be during the high republic and when the Jedi are at their peak. The trailers look good but it seems like their going with the angle of the Jedi aren’t really that good and are hypocrites angle. This worked for the prequel era cause the point was that the Jedi lost their way. But, I think new Star Wars tries too much to say the Jedi aren’t actually a good thing. The Jedi were always supposed to be good, they just fell from grace at the point of the prequel.

[@jediryan9454]

To me I think of the force as just a "force of nature". It does not care of the affairs of living beings. The morals that humans and aliens put on their own civil communities to keep itself from chaos. Think of a force as a light saber itself. It can be used for good, evil or even a bit of both. It's the intend of the user (the force user) that dictates the action from the force. A force push when force user doesn't want to hurt someone. Force lightning when he does want to hurt or kill someone. The Jedi just created a Code to keep their force users from losing control from themselves. That creates chaos and in unbalance when the Jedi can sometimes lose control of their emotions which lead to greed, fear, anger. And the Sith created their code to have total freedom to use the force as they pleased. They hated being controlled by the Jedi. It's a story as old as time. Two factions that disagree on ideals and they fight each other to see which idea wins. But at the end of the day, I believe, the force is just that a tool to be used by some powerful living beings. I don't think the force itself thinks about right or wrong. What's good or evil, it's truly neutral to the affairs of humans/aliens. Wasn't this discussed in Rebels cartoon with the Bendu.

[@Njprophet]

The force "is." Mortis episodes solidified the force being a spectrum to me. However, the spectrum can only be mastered by one person (the chosen one). I still can't theorize why this idea of balance can't be practiced by everyone; but Anakin was practically called by The Father to replacement him to keep his daughter and son in check. Another interesting thing about those three episodes, the son is the one who is really out of balance. I wish they explored more if the daughter was the one who existed while the brother was disposed of somehow, similar to how she was.

[@JosuVes]

For anyone that is reading the High Republic books: I have a feeling that the new "Sith" in the acolyte could possibly be the Jedi Elzar Mann. I feel as if they have been building up to him potentially turning to the Dark Side. He is driven by emotion and in the most recent book the Jedi council allied themselves with an ex-jedi turned dark side and when he saw Elzar he alluded to the fact that they are very similar. Just a thought.

[@rune4769]

When Yoda said the force was his ally he meant that Luke should choose his friends and path wisely. The force isn't an ally anymore than gravity is, it just exists and you make of it what you will. It's the living person who decides what to do and how to interact with the force. It's up to that force user to be in balance with themselves and with the force. They are dealing with a power that's very dangerous and can easily turn on them and get out of control without their balance. The force doesn't have a mind of its own. The force has a will to seek a neutral state like water running downhill or a fire seeking oxygen. The force itself will always seek a neutral balance, but the living force refers to the living will of users and how they direct their influence on it. That fire looking for oxygen could very well burn you if you aren't careful and in balance

I believe that Yoda saying the Force is his ally leads towards balance in the Force with one's self; it flows through you, guides you, influences you. Conversely, the Sith do not ally themselves with the Force, they attempt to make the Force a slave to themselves; they bend it to their will, they influence it to create life or steal it to preserve themselves, to control.

This sounds like her hinting at them just letting more randos who should be force sensitive at all, do things with the force. I agree with the idea that there is no light without darkness… to an extent and certainly not in the way she’s saying. However her saying anyone who can use the force is balanced is ludicrous. Darth Maul was almost never balanced that was who he was. He didn’t need to be balanced. His rage was one what made him dangerous. Same with many other sith including Vader!

[@jordanwallace4232]

From the aspect of the force I’ve always felt that balance in the force was always this. There may be an anomaly where one side gets a huge advantage and the force would will a counter to it to balance. Palp never had a chance long term due the force. Luke (and Vader) were the anomaly to the light and legends Luke realized the importance of learning the dark side as well to have inner balance which would not trigger the equal and opposite reaction to him being light side.

[@nytecrow6452]

Gotta say Mortis was the Ideal Vision for the Force. When the Light Side is too strong, the Force balances the scales by culminating power into the Dark Side. When the Dark Side grows too strong, the Force tips the scales back to the Light. Throughout The Old Republic you could see the Force being tipped to and fro constantly as the galaxy was maintaining balance....It was nothing but war...but it was balanced. Neither side grew too strong until Revan and then it warped Revan.

I feel like this is what george talked about. Luke by ep 6 used the darkside to beat vader. Unlike anakin though, he denyed giving in to his hate and said "I am a jedi". He balanced both light and dark, he was the balance. After Vader killed palpatine and died themselves, Luke became the only force user (ignoring newer shows) and became the balance between light and dark, a true Jedi like Qui-Gon. The idea of force being a balance has always been centeral I feel, and the will of the force to reseek balance again and again when following KOTOR 1 and 2, all the way to prequals and orginals.
