whoever said the jedi *philosophy* (i not y, im 14 nd know that) was to search for a none agressive solution, well just read that sentence, SEARCH not MAKE, if there is no peaceful solution then the jedi has to turn to other methods, hence the lightsaber. oh nd how can yoda be 'above' lightsabers, that is so narrowminded, its almost like saying a footballer is above football boots, its a tool of the trade dude
