    Ya should check out The Unifying Force Theory, basically says the Force has no inherent light or dark side, that it’s indifferent. The Force, through individual’s actions dictate whether they are light or dark, and within ourselves is the capacity for both. It’s kinda what the Sequel Trilogy was trying to go for with Kylo and Rey, albeit executed very poorly.

    Funny enough, probably the most famous practitioner of this belief was Qui-Gon Jinn. It’s also why he never was elevated over the rank of Knight. He was considered unorthodox and a bit of a rebel by most Jedi then, who followed the more commonly held belief of The Living Force Theory.

      I mean I’m glad this kind of stuff exists, and I’m never going to rag on someone for being passionate about a thing they like, but yeah I’d rather not spend time and energy learning about a fictional theory about a fictional (mystical) power that only exists in the universe of a kitschy 70s soft sci-fi series.

      I had heard the dark side was a twisted corruption of the force and sort of like a cancer

        Yeah that’s The Living Force Theory, that the Force is inherently good and the Dark Side is a perversion of the Force.
