Spoiler Maul Vs Kenobi (Rebels) :
JJ & Friends successfully convinced me that he had moral licence to continue the Star Wars tradition, I liked the treatment of the force in TFA and in Rogue one (despite Rogue One not having a dark/light dichotomy). However here he's threatening its moral center.I wouldn't be opposed to the "if you feel an emotion, you're a dingus" philosophy dying out in the Jedi Code, personally.
There being different interpretations of the Force has almost always been a thing, EU and canon alike. I'm not sure they'll go Grey Jedi. I think they might do something else entirely.
What are you, 30?I leave it to the kids
Great, even Star Wars slips into BS moral relativism
I don't buy that there's 50 shades of grey between the light and the dark, and thinking there is the path to the dark side.
Now, if JJ actually does that, and discredits this grey jedi nonsense as the dark side flim-flam it is, he will succeed in sincerely impressing me. However, I see it far more likely that he's buying into the hedgy nonsense.
I don't think there is one, and I don't think there should be one.I'm gonna look like a dumbass, but what's the difference between light and dark side beyond light=good and dark=bad?
My suspicion is the core distinction is under threat where the dark side is going to be presented as something other than evil. If that is the case, then Star Wars will likely lose the Good vs. Evil narrative that's at its very heart in favor of BS moral relativism.Luke already had an extremely unorthodox Jedi training, I figure calling him one is already a bit of a stretch unless we take Jedi as metonymous with light side, which it has come to be but is not necessarily so. By which I mean: what is the problem of the name if the core distinction is still the same?
