The Once And Future Jedi

I haven't read this yet, but it looks like an interesting article. It's a comparison of Star Wars and the Arthurian cycles.

I started reading part of it. Wow, it's a bit thick. It also looks like it was written back when there were only two films.

If I had Force Powers I'm pretty sure I would become Sith pretty quick.

I think my conscience would not allow it at first...but I would explore certain of the Sith powers - I mean come on, who doesn't want to be able to lay about with blasts of Force lightning?  I really think that should've been allowed amongst the Jedi.

Yoda: Yes, run! Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.
Luke: Vader... Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, NEVER for attack.
Luke: But tell my why I can't...
Yoda: No, no! There is no "why".
