light side sith

am i able to be a light side sith like in swtor

[Dethlane]

No, you can only choose between LS and DS (minor/major decisions and final one). No different sith/jedi/etc stories like in SWtOR

not epic

Realistic. The Force is the arbiter of morality in Star Wars. The Jedi are good. The Sith are evil. In terms of non-force users, they'd have to be ignorant or wilfully ignorant to believe the Sith as a faction were anything other than evil. It's akin to all the pilots who started their careers in the Imperial Academy. They saw the writing on the wall and left to join the Rebellion. Had they ignored what they saw and stayed within the Empire, they would still be furthering the Empire's goals regardless of their own actions. This is one of the reasons why SW:TOR is an aberration.

i disagree. sith can be morally good but still be on the dark side. for example, in the comics when a jedi was too light side or too dark side, they would be sent to learn the ways of the other side to achieve equilibrium. this means that a jedi can be a sith but still make morally good choices or even be a jedi but make horrific choices. in the main movies, the jedi tell whoever they oppose that they can work out a peaceful alternative, but never actively try to do so, other than a few like luke. They are jedi but jump straight to violence. A force sensitive's alignment dosen't necessarily make them good or evil.

That is a fundamental misunderstanding of the lore and if there are comics based around that, then they are heresy. The Force is imbalanced as long as the Sith exist. That is the basis of the Chosen One Prophecy. The Force corrupts those who use it selfishly and that corruption is compulsory. You choose the quick and easy path, you become an agent of evil. This new-aged, hippy-trippy, 50/50 equilibrium bs has never been what "Balance" meant. Balance in the lore of Star Wars is synonymous with harmony. You cannot have harmony when there is discord.

Considering the equilibrium was given the green light by Lucas himself along with the Ancient Order of the Whills (which has been canon for some time now) it isn't heresy. Tython and it's two moons Ashla and Bogan are canon it isn't "new-aged, hippy-trippy, 50/50 equilibrium bs." Someone was going to have to explain the origins of the Jedi/Sith and explain how the conflict erupted, Tython in the Deep Core became that catalyst. Canon is canon, period.

Considering that isn't canon, and equilibrium was never given a green light, it's absolutely heresy. Tython is canon, its two moons are not. Dawn of the Jedi as a story has been rendered non-canon since the takeover, along with the rest of the EU. In this instance that retcon was actually a good thing because that comic series flew in the face of the message of the original six films and Star Wars as a whole, which was about good triumphing over evil, not a nihilist circlejerk where nothing matters because everything is cyclical and equal.

The origins of the Jedi are a group of people sensitive to the Force that sought to serve its will which is balance, the state at which nature exists. The Sith as a religion is descended from Jedi who wanted to serve themselves instead. They fell to the Dark Side and created imbalance. It isn't and doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

Look Ragnarök, im not saying I do or dont support the equilibrium thing and I do agree with you about the fact that the og 6 movies were about good triumphing over bad. what i think Notice me senpai is saying is that whats cannon is cannon. wether you support it or not, its cannon. just because its wasint in the og 6 films, dosent mean it creators can change how they think about their art.

Plus, WHO CARES? Im asking if a spinoff videogame has a specific alignment feature. star wars its a dying movie franchise anyway, which is not to say the og 6 films are bad or dying. Ever since disney got it's grimey hands on it, theyve been milking it dry. I love star wars. I love all the characters and the journeys they go through. Except for jar jar but i think we all do.

Another thing, THIS GAME ISNT EVEN CANNON WHY WOULDNT IT HAVE SOME "NON CANNON" STUFF IN IT?

Forget it, it's been four days. I'm just salty at the irreparable damage that has been done over time to Star Wars and this franchise which used to be canon. Between Disney's perversions, other careless EU writers and George Lucas never seeming to be able to keep the damned story straight every time he did an interview, it's tiresome.
