The Fate of the Galaxy

[Mellypie]

I voted save the Republic, let the Jedi control there destiny. Mainly because if I'm going to be forced to be a Force Adept/User I'm going to do it outside the Jedi Order. Still be lightside, but not be a part of the Order. Because, frankly, I think their rules, their goals, and their Code is unrealistic.

[Darth Thingy]

Create a theocratic empire with me at the top of it.

And of course the jedi wiped out of the galaxy.

[Sturm]

yes, all of the jedi must die

[Darth_Onivega]

sith pwn jedi in the long run

[Sturm]

episode 3 makes that statement true

Actually no...In the long run, Dark side always get it's crappy, corrupted and wrinkled ass kicked by storytellers. Of course occasionally sith'll have the edge simply because kicking LS's shining shaved holy butt helps them from falling madness.

 

If not, storytellers would become crazy as Crimson King. I mean, who could kick ugly DS ass all the time and keep his/her sanity? Kicking LS's ass gives them some luxury, like holiday after long months of work.

 

On other hand, what am I talking about...

I chose the first one. I don't see Jedi destroying planets, raping Banthas, and the like... no Sith means I can sit back and relax on a saturday afternoon on the beaches of the Builder's planet while listening to the Rancor Trio with my Ipod-o-cron and watching Twilek girls bathing and giggling....*knowing* the planet won't become a cinder anytime soon. Pass the Corellian ale, will you?

I would also reform the Jedi Council, though. That unrealistic and dehumanizing emptying of emotions they espouse (and other irritating contradictions) ticks me off at times. Controlling bad emotions, OK, but the GOOD ones as well?  Bleh...

Ah, but there lies the problem. Emotions are not good or evil, only how people react because of them are. Take anger. You might say that's a bad emotion, but what if that anger is due to injustice in your society, and it makes you react and protest with the result that the injustice is exposed and fairness is restored. Then anger is not a bad thing is it?

 

Or maybe you think love is good? It would not seem to be good in Anakin's case, and indeed many, many evil things have been done for love. Paris may have loved Helena, but when all of Troy is destroyed for his love, it cannot be called a good thing per se, can it?

 

That's the problem with emotions. The jedi understand that, though I would agree with you (and Jolee) that they go rather too far in how they deal with this "problem".

[Darth_Onivega]

screw the republic, just build an empire on top of it

[Sturm]

and screw the jedi, the darkside should reign as it does, its more powerfull then the jedi

[Xard]

Why no one ever gives good reason why DS rules?

[Bulgarian Jedi]

Because there actually isn't.

[Darth_Onivega]

the galaxy would be totally boaned if it were in Ian's hands

[Jedi Master Bumfluff]

Going into exile sounds rather peaceful....It doesn't matter which body is ruling/governing the known galaxy, corruption will always be there (i.e. the golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules). You might think the republic stands for democracy but at the end of the day it always seems the bureaucracy of government never lets it get anywhere. Sith rule, while not favourable, does seem to get the job done (albeit through use of fear/violence and obviously when there is one powerful enough to keep the little sithy rug-rats under control).

 

I'd rather leave all that behind and live the quieter life on some planet out-of-the-way of the common traveller....
