Dark Side Jedi
Posted: Sun May 14, 2017 9:42 pmDark Side Jedi
In general there are no dark side Jedi, in practice the question is more complicated and nuanced than simply good and evil. Jedi fall to the Dark Side, it happens and will continue to happen in the future. The path usually begins with good intentions and poor rash decisions
Jedi that turn to the dark side tend to be motivated more by their personal connections, they allow their desires and wants to take hold and guide them more so than the teachings of the Jedi. They replace a general compassion with a more personal focus. They become destructive and violent and justify their actions by saying they are ultimately serving good. If a Jedi is seen as sliding to the dark they are often counseled and recalled from active duty for rehabilitation and guidance. They may even be cast out of the Order or killed in some severe cases.
Some Jedi stray dangerously close to the dark due to their duties, they mingle with criminals or work as spies or dedicate themselves as soldiers and warriors. They ride the line and some can maintain this delicate balance but many cannot and often fall to the Dark… often by inches.
This does not mean they become Sith, but they do often become selfish and focused on their own ambitions instead of the betterment of the galaxy.
