Only a Sith Deals in absolutes!

Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is EVIL!
Do or do not, there is no try.

 

We all know jedi are pompus hypocrites sith ftw

 

This was actually a very interesting aspect to Star Wars imo. Sith and Jedi are supposed to be not even two sides of the same coin, but literally the same, just viewed in different lights. Sith are not necessarily evil, just as all Jedi are not good.

 

Didn't that come from a widely reviled expanded universe book?

 

I haven't read many books. I picked it up from the Wookiepedia.

In my opinion, the grey jedi are the only ones who are 'good' even though they fit the alignment of True Neutral.

 

"all Jedi are not good" wut?

 

Good as in altruistic. Many Jedi have hidden agendas, are manipulative, are not above using others to achieve a goal. There's also the fact nowhere in the code does it prohibit murder. It talks about not killing prisoners or not taking revenge, but that's about it.

They're not 'bad' guys per say, but there's a disturbingly high percentage of douchebags amongst Jedi ranks, at least in the Old Republic.

 

Well you generalized that ALL jedi are NOT GOOD.

 

Oh.

Nuance of language.

All Jedi are not good=Good does not describe every Jedi.

Not All Jedi are 'not good'

 

More correct phrasing would be "Not all jedi are good."

 

not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not good?

 

But then that precludes the existence of Jedi that are .5 good.

 

Bah, I know the pedia's source, and it pretty much got revoked next book, when the people who believed this became utterly evil sith.

 

In what way does "Not all jedi are good." preclude half-good jedi? All it states is that there are jedi who exist that are not good.

 

I'm not sure.

It made more sense to me last night.

In short: lolIDK

 

More importantly, my new A7X hoodie just arrived today. Early Christmas for EMR!

 

I used to be way into them.

I'm not anymore.

But whatev.

Gratz.

 

Your signature is strange.

 

Strange=awesome

 

I'm a bit late for the party but...

All is not as it seems = not all is what it seems. Conversely, not all jedi are good = all jedi are not good.

I can see where you're coming from, EMR, but "all ___ <negative>" is actualy an existing, though a bit archaic, phrasing of "not all ___ <positive>". And we all know about fefe's wording patterns

But if you're patient enough it'll just die and you'll be 100% correct lol.
