So Revan in the novel "Revan", after he retrieved his mask and the memories his power was magnified not because he accepted the dark but because of his intimate knowledge of it. He was able to overcome a specific sith Lord that had been beyond him. Because he understood sith lightning. This allowed him to contain it, magnify it, and redirect it without summoning it himself. I've always thought Yoda must have fought sith or a powerful dark jedi in order to understand how to reflect dokus lighting .

Father kept Son and Daughter too achieve all power in the force. which is curious, as the force is said to hate the sith who did not followed it but it was bent to the sith will. True balance, as is stated more and more over by fans, was achieved with the death of the last Sith Lord and such perversion of the force.

The ability to use the light side is good but the grey jedi do NOT have to follow the code which means they can connect with people on a more intimate level.

I do find it interesting that in order to bring balance to the force, there will always need to be Sith lords, so if the Jedi eliminate the Sith they themselves would need to be eliminated to bring balance to the force, or the force will produce another Dark side user to counter the Jedi's light side.

The thing you have to realize is that the mainstream belief that the Jedi were anti-emotion prudes is absolute nonsense and fictitious, and it's usually based on ppl not understanding that the Jedi believed that a person should master their emotions so they aren't destroyed or corrupted by them. It is a virtue instead of a weakness. The Sith historically self-destructed because they were slaves to their emotions.

I mostly agree with this vid. I do agree that since someone in 'true balance' would be far from either extreme they would be denied some of the powers witnessed by devotees of Light or Dark. Their time would be split between three fields of study: Lightsaber combat, Light-side powers & Dark-side powers while traditional Sith and Jedi would only have two fields of study. It's just a simple fact that someone with more to do but the same time to do it will get less done on either front, but would paint a more complete picture. The true strength of a Balanced force user would be their mind-set. Bright lights and pitch darkness can both blind, but the more worldly perspective of a Balanced force user would grant them clarity of vision, and strength of purpose. Eternal, endless Light is but a barren desert. Eternal, endless Dark is but a maelstrom of death. To quote a mentor of mine: 'A man cannot walk without opposing feet. Allow yourself to move forward carrying the lessons of both.'

Great video!

Love the high quality definition in this video …!!

I can see where you are coming from and an example of this would be in Episode 1 where Qui-Gon uses the Force on the chance cubes. Yoda, most likely, would not. Great channel and love all your content!

Great explanation

All I'm gonna say is that the Bendu was pretty ridiculously powerful. And he was "the one in the middle"

I love your Star Wars and marvel channel😊

I believe what this video was reaching for was each force user is unique. Also where each force user fits (ex. Jedi, sith, grey jedi, ect.) it is a spectrum.

This video was actually very helpful to me cause I don’t have much understanding about what a grey Jedi. It showed me that my OC I’m making is actually a Dark Jedi instead of a grey Jedi.

Thank you for explaining Grey Jedi. I always felt that Grey Jedi were light-siders that rejected the Orthodoxy of the Temple and succumbed to the Will of the Force, acting with it's guidance alone.

Again, I like the way he says "Jedi Order"

I don't know, Kyle Katarn shoots off force lightning like a fire hose and I've never seen him become corrupted because of it.

Good job.

great video explaining what is not a grey jedi. I also believe the misued idea around grey jedi to the able to be all balanced and powerful in both the light and dark side to be completely in contradiction on how one can use the force.

I'd love it if you did a vid on if Cal Kistis is a Gray jedi

i hope in the ahsoka series we see what she learned in the temple on malachor plus her meeting bendu & learning how to be “the one in the middle”

Your knowledge of the grey jedi is always of interest to me. Especially when the lies of light vs dark are excised

I don't know if I can say that a Grey Jedi is stronger than a normal Jedi, or even a Sith as some people believe. MY opinion is that a Grey Jedi is balanced, having bits of the light & the dark and the only way that they'd be able to be stronger is to to give themselves fully to one side or the other. It kinda goes back to the phrase "no man can serve two masters." I also see a normal Jedi trying to abide by the light and do things conventionally while a Grey Jedi probably has no qualms about unconventional warfare or flexible thinking to get the job done when their plans or methods align with The Force. An example of what I'm saying is the characters in Aliens vs. Predator. The Predators have a balance of strength, speed, and skill while Dutch sacrifices speed & skill for strength and Linn sacrifices strength for speed & skill.

This is very interesting. Very informative and nice. I agree. Gray Jedi had wider views,beliefs. They listen the Force,which is most important. Will of the Force. Gray Jedi can do things far better. They use dark side but are not corrupted. Perfectly explained. We should let the Force flow through us. I enjoyed this :) Thanks :) May the Force be with you too

Oh yeah. I'm a Grey Jedi at heart. And I want to stay that way. While preferably wielding a double-bladed lightsaber.

I think this is the best video I have seen from you, great research, and what if Anakin became a gray Jedi??? 😂

Popular by people who aren't the ones saying they like the idea of the grey Jedi. I think you hit the mark, I'm just exhausted with this freaking conversation, it always goes the same : "would you rather be a Jedi or a Sith" "I think I prefer the Grey Jedi's ideology, you know, like Joelee" "oh so your just one of those shitty edge lords who wants to run around shooting force lightning all the time but doesn't want to feel bad about it" "no I-" "You just want to use force choke to solve all your problems, but it's okay because you're secretly the good guy" "No I-" "Look the closest thing in cannon to a grey Jedi is Qui Gon" "Exactly I want to do right by the force without the Jedi's stringent dogma, not use the si-" "BUT HE'S A JEDI!" And when they do acknowledge our point it's like they just discovered it for the first time, always : "Well maybe there are grey Jedi, bit they're not like you imagine them, they're not running around using Sith powers all over the place, they're like Joelee Binddo" "He was literally my first example!"

Having both Jedi and Sith skillsets would make one quite formidable. Being able to mix-up one's powers would be a great advantage. What set Yoda (simply so old to have learned most everything) and Dooku (rare true experienced and knowledgeable Jedi Master and then Sith Lord) apart from other high-end Force users of his time was his versatility in knowledge and application of the Force. Perhaps the only two of the era, at least in canon, that can fire of Force Lightning and either absorb it or deflect it with bare hands. Only the very strongest paramount masters of light and dark would be able to overcome powerful Force users with mastery over both sides of the Force.

I think the problem with this is that the term "grey jedi" is very broad to the fans. A non jedi light side user will be considered grey jedi. A rogue jedi will be considered grey jedi. People who try to balance the light and dark will be considered grey jedi. It is very difficult to name these categories and often people will just choose grey jedi. I see grey jedi as these balanced force users such as the jensaraai, while others consider people like Ahsoka a grey jedi. I just consider her a light side force user who is not withing the jedi order. It is a very interesting topic. Although i will truthfully admit, my knowledge on ahsoka and all these new movies and series is very limited.

A Grey Jedi can be compared with a ronin. Their ideology is parallel to the council, but their methodology is their own. They are the most true to themselves, which is a double edged sword concerning the will of the Force. Yet, their trust in the Force is where their real power lies.

I agree 💯

My own head canon is always going to chafe against the idea that using the dark is inherently corruptive. The practitioners like the Sith likely fall into a positive feedback loop, wherein their greed and lust for power will lead them into exerting greater dominance over the Force - which always fights back and might be an explanation for the visible deformities they suffer over time. Perhaps that can lead to uncovering greater abilities or powerful variants of existing ones, but a willful approach to the Force need not lead to such a destructive spiral. The same way that the patience and repose of a Jedi need not result in utter passiveness and inutility. A consideration that is not given near often enough, is: Would one in balance truly NEED to master either the Light or Dark let alone both? Imagine taking the Jedi approach by allowing the Force to flow and swell within oneself. Not near enough to the point of oneness with it, or summoning the actual light of the Force, but to a high level just the same. And then with righteous rather than selfish anger, discharging a burst of lightning. It wouldn't surprise me if such an approach bucked the pompous words of Darth Plagueis who claimed that anything other than true Sith Lightning was simply a facsimile. That's just a single example. This esoteric, figurative take on what a Gray Jedi is has always annoyed me in particular. It's gained notable traction due to dialogue from KOTOR II and the likes of Pablo Hidalgo claiming that a Force user balanced between light and dark is a "cop out". However, let's take that concept and use its own logic to deconstruct the very notion of the Force as a binary since that is one of the most dogmatic beliefs of both Jedi and Sith.

Would think they're bout as "balanced" typically, as alot of Force Users get. They've got MAYBE all or most of BOTH sides' strengths BUT NOT NECESSARILY the weaknesses of either. Basically if they can control the Darkside BUT know when negotiating and peacefull just ISN'T gonna be an option an can totally open up a Darkside hurt on someone or thing if they find they have to. Galen was one that came to mind too. He found it easier an easier it seems to go Light while kicking ass an lightning throwing as good an even in some ways better then the best of them

I agree with the concepts of this video and I think that Luke Skywalker was the pinnacle or the example of a gray Jedi people often overlook Luke Skywalker and his training methods and the dark side and the light side so I believe that Luke Skywalker was the pinnacle of a great Jedi I believe Luke Skywalker was the best grade Jedi that you could ever hope to accomplish

Grey Jedi: Qui Gon Jin, Luke Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, etc. They follow the path of the OG Jedi. They get it.

In my opinion it's because after they brake from the dogma of the Jedi they can in some small way tap in to the Bendu as well as the Aslasha.

What about a Force User with multiple personalitys. One that ist fully in light and one that ist fully dark?

Grey jedi code line 1 : There is no light without dark. There is no dark without light. There is only the force If the force out of Star Wars were a true religion, I'd covert to it in a heartbeat! 😃😍 Grey Jedi preferably

I always thought of Qui-Gon Jinn to be closer to being a Grey Jedi. Even though he was a jedi master, he was more considering of following the will of the Force, over the will of the Jedi Council and Order.

2:13 a Grey Jedi would say surrender isn't the way of the Dark Side, Light Side has Force Ghosts you can learn from, too. cheaper tuition as well.

I think with all the lore in star wars (taking into account movies, games, books and comics of both legends and canon), any subject on the matter of star wars has become so complex that it's difficult to get a direct "this is what it is" unless creators themselves state it. And even then, sometimes we find contradictions. Growing up, I hated the midi-chlorians concept, preferring my head cannon of how the force works, in that your strength in the force is partially your understanding and practice of it, but more importantly your relationship with the force. When I learned more about the dark side, what I found told me that it's power corrupts the user depending on the power being used. Yes there's the rush of power, but people can learn self control. For me, it was when force users decided to use powers that bent, defied and even broke the laws of nature itself that would corrupt them, for at that point they were twisting the force in a way that never should have been. Sith Alchemy and Sorcery are perfect examples of this. So for me, as long as force users didn't delve too deeply into the dark side where they outright twisted the force too far, they could still use many of it's devastating powers for offensive purposes. Additionally, in an rp I'm in with a friend, our force users use various emotions instead of only anger and wrath to fuel their power, such as love, curiosity, hope and much more. And they all train to rein in their emotions to keep themselves from spiraling too deeply into their own emotions. AKA: what every jedi never does, cause they just tell you to bottle it up. I also think the main reason I loved this concept of force users, was that I always saw the force as just that: The force. There was no light or dark side. There was merely different applications of it. One of them risk free but harder to learn and use, and the other more powerful but with some risk dependent on how deep you delved... And admittedly I loved the idea of gray jedi because I hate both the Jedi Order and how it does things, and the Sith Order X'D Everyone is allowed their own opinions, and head cannons I think are a fun way to let people's perspectives on a topic as complex as star wars thrive even if it isn't cannon. For me, Star wars has never been 100% about "light is always good, dark is always evil". For me it's always been about: "How it's used." The best example I can provide is the story of the Sith who used the dark side off of curiosity and not anger, and never did anything evil (check it out, I learned about him on this guy's channel). I love debating and talking about many topics, but I tried to avoid this topic most of the time. This was mainly because people were either 100% on your side, or 100% against you. However for this video? Idk. I felt moved to make a comment this time. Maybe it's because I'm content with my little head cannon. No matter how many people scream or argue with me with how or why I'm wrong, I enjoy this little concept of mine, and the characters and stories that I've imagined up along with it. Forgive me for the wall of text btw. Thanks for reading all the way, and I hope you have a great day!

Hype!

My question is could Anakin access the full power of both dark and light side of the force since he is a creation of the force and the chosen one?

To me a Grey Jedi is able to use both the Dark and the Light sides of the force at any time, not just together. To give in to either side is too much as being to far to the light will make you more timid and question if it's right to intervene in the actions of others due to man made laws where as being too far into the dark would literally destroy you and harm the balance of the force directly. Either way the force is out of balance withing you if you are on either side of it. Being right in the middle is like being an Anti hero. You can freely study both sides of the force as a whole and act on your own intentions for good no matter what the circumstances are and you can use whatever powers you have to solve the problem at hand without harming the force around you and without harming yourself. However it takes a considerable amount of power and discipline to stay in that middle ground as the slightest nudge in either direction can be too far and sometimes for ever In my eyes the force is that invisible substance all around you in everything and it's everywhere. Sort of like if the air was filled with mana for mages to cast spells with instead of relying on pools of magic essence in the own bodies so instead of calling upon your own power you are simply plucking it out of the air and using that. The Force itself has a light side and a dark side to keep everything in a continuous circle. Things live, things die or are killed and their essence fuels new life. You can't have one without the other Grey Jedi are able to see that and freely practice both sides without ever going too far to corrupt themselves to either side. Knowing the ultimate balance of the force and allowing it to flow through themselves as pure vessels instead of "Light side only, dark side bad" or "The dark side is the only side". Use and truly understand both and know when to use either one in the proper way. Ultimately information is just information. It's people that misuse it Qui Gon was a great example and to me the closest example I've seen. He regularly went against the Jedi Order to do stuff he thought was right to the point the masters just facepalmed each time and went "Fine, I cannot be bothered to argue with you because it's a waste of time". Revan used both but ultimately switched sides as violently as a seesaw. Too far to the light side then the dark side then the light side again. While he saw and used both he was always unbalanced and so was never a proper Grey Jedi. Star Killer generally did not care. He mainly used Dark Side Powers and had Light Side training but ultimately did his own thing which was save Juno and Proxy and then leave to live a nice life somewhere until something else happened starting a whole new game. Ahsoka was mainly just a citizen. She grew disillusioned with the Jedi but never really touched on the dark side ever. She was just a rogue woman with dual lightsabers and sort of helped out the jedi on the side a few times So that's what I think a grey Jedi is and should be. And I don't think I've ever seen a proper one but I think about it regularly in "How would this change if a Grey Jedi showed up at the Jedi temple?" or "What if Ahsoka did turn into a true Grey Jedi?"

Heck Yeah!!!

Grey Jedi Can use anger to enhance themselves during a duel, but do not let it become hatred. Anger is a natural emotion, and when used properly, can make you feel the passion and thrill of combat. It requires allowing yourself to be selfish to a degree without falling into narcissism. Mace Windu used Juyo in this way I think.

He was able to understand the force from a wider perspective since he'd explored both sides at different times to their fullest extent he understood the temptation and corruption of the Darkside and also understood the Light what Revan drew upon was neither the Darkside nor the Lighside but the Force in it's purest form uncorrupted by the influence of either side, people misunderstand it as using both sides when in reality it's just using the force as it was before the corruption of the Son and daughter and the only known being to have ever done this was The Father.

Yes they are

I think we need to clarify or define the light/dark side of the force. I always thought the light side is going with the flow of the force while dark is the going against it. The more you go against the will of the force defines how far into or susceptible you are to the dark side or basically the addictive thrill of perverting nature to do what you want(intentions irrelevant). It's like robbing a bank to get rich compared to saving up and investing over time. There really isnt a middle ground. I think gray is more of the religious side that tries to interpret the will of the force (Jedi/Sith). Since they're the arbiters of force knowledge, leaving or going outside the either orders for that knowledge, to me, would constitute a gray jedi.

By the time of Star Wars episode IV Obi-wan was a gray Jedi.

Without citing a source; proficiency of any skill is reach for of about 80% of learning/understanding; the last 20% of that skill takes true dedication. As an argument for the case the proficiency will be learned faster, though losing to the subtle nuances in 1 aspect. The Grey Jedi would have more skills at a high level as opposed to a few skills at master level.

Would this make wayseekers grey jedi?

I don't think Grey Jedi are particularly stronger than Dark Jedi/Sith or Jedi themselves they have more variation, but that doesn't particularly mean someone is stronger just cause. And I know Revan and Kyle could be classified as Greys but they're a uncommon example

I like the concept of Grey Jedi because you can't know Good without Evil or Light Without Dark. Each side, the jedi and the sith, are the extreme or each side of the force. Just look at the word Force a Force is olny bad until there is too much or not enough of it. I also believe being a Grey Jedi would be hard-line to walk keeping your emotions in check so you are not driven buy them but also not becoming emotional less husk. Well that's my 2 cents

The jedi order had problems. They were arrogant and so dogmatic destroying the sith will not destroy the dark side itself they had to learn to live with their emotions and not deny that every person has some dark in himself which led anakin to path to the dark side.

Indeed. Yoda was wise, but not wise enough apparently.

My characters have always been grey Jedi when I play star wars games 😆

You have to twist your hatred while surrendering entirely to it to ultimately reinforce your control over it. This is referred to as a True Sith. Someone who not only can delve into the dark side completely but maintain themselves in the process. Only four entities have ever achieved such. Darth Mortivarr Darth Vitiate Marka Ragnos and King Adas With Darth Mortivarr being King Adas's return as the Sith'ari. Even Darth Sidious never achieved this feat, instead his entire story is rewritten to insinuate he did become or always was a dark entity to elevate his grandeur greater than it actually was. He is essentially made out to be Darith Vitiate 2.0 with much of the same initial nature as a Dark Side entity as Darth Vitiate without being the child of a slave being included which gives Darth Vitiate more understanding to his initial character than Darth Sidious who is just made evil for evil's sake. The real Darth Sidious was originally a Jedi who fell from grace early (before even being a Jedi), returned to the light to become one of its greatest paragons, then fell again but not so dramatically as shown. Rather it is the Jedi who pushed him to the Dark Side this time, his original descent came while being a child and furious with the corruption of his family over the people of Naboo, leading to him killing them and taking over as the leader of his family's business, which he gladly surrendered to the Jedi before being taken in by them. Seeing his shame and humility led to the Jedi allowing him to be trained even though he was no older than Anakin at that time when he became initiated as a youngling. Also his fall and mastery into the dark side (even though not to the extent as a True Sith) was brought by the teaching of a Sith Ghost that haunted him upon being slayed when Palpatine was a Jedi. Palpatine never was originally a student of Darth Plagious, rather he was haunted by him. Add this with the Jedi turning on Palpatine due to their irrational hatred of Zhor'i, which is the species the "humans" in star wars belong to and you have the real Sidious. This is completely different from Darth Vitiate who became furious due to his station in birth as the son of a slave, he himself had no future but to be a slave. This fury with the power he inherited from his father (who was a powerful lord in his own right) led to Tenebrae using the force to do as it is stated. He then became Vitiate as Marka Ragnos recognized him as the only being who has also achieved the feat of becoming a True Sith. Someone who becomes a True Sith is no longer harmed by the Dark Side of the force and can master both the Dark and the Light given they haven't been tainted by the Light Side to lose their sense of individuality. This feat has only been mastered by two who are ultimately the same being, King Adas and Darth Mortivarr.

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who remembers the name Orion Pax.

I think your right and wrong since revan was know to be able open up both sides of the force simultaneously

What if some had multiple personalities and was for sensitive I would that turn out like does one can be a Jedi and the other sith or both have to choose light or dark

Some people could use the Darkside and not fall to it it's just that most people who use the Darkside don't have enough will power to resist it

Honestly, I just feel starved of force users outside of just being sith or Jedi. We only get ONE mando Jedi with the dark saber, the night sister magic that manipulates the living force and the Bendu. I think what we need is an instance of the force compelling a force sensitive to craft different and unique lightsabers, spread all throughout the galaxy, that the force compels force sensitives to find and wield for themselves. These force sensitives aren’t affiliated with the Jedi or sith, but they are either light, dark or somewhere in between depending on the lives they’ve lead up until finding the sabers.

@@Charolette21 one beskar saber uses a lava crystal in a sharpened emitter, a sharp blade of fire the burns hotter the angrier the wielder gets, burning flammables in the proximity from merely emitting from the hilt. The other beskar saber would be a set of wrist mounted, flicker phase ghost fire crystal sabers. They make the wielder invisible and the blades are invisible to all but the wielder.

Grey Jedi are the jedi who act towards the threat and worry about the social structure afterwards just to keep the peace whereas the Jedi Order is more complacent and takes too long to act.

OH THANK GUTHIX HE GOT RID OF THE END MUSIC!

Because of the power of myth, they don't exist lol. Basically anyone not bound by the order and not outright dark side users get thrown in this catch all. In reality they are just Jedi, albeit the ones not turned into insane ideologues as kids

I think, or it would be hella neat if the grey Jedi would, in the Jedis absence after the empires reign, take back the role of the Jedi in relations to and with the Republic now calling themselves the Grand Republic ! And this group of grey Jedi or "dark Jedi", would come to be known . . . .as . . . . The IOIN ! (The eye-oh-inn, or some say it like : Eee-yo-win) and the term is perfect it took me almost a half day to find a name that just fit, think about it, Jedi / Sith; bolth have an i in them and look were it's places, the two spots left that aren't taken is the first and the third and I just needed two letters that neither had so it follows the rules of this situation and I found O and N, and this group I'ma just call them who they are now, the ioin are kinds mercinaries for the Grand Republic who use techniques from bolth and try to maintain the balance without loosing there minds and they alot of time take things too far, they are ruthless, aiming to build another army of light, combing the galaxy for force sensitives and grooming them to join there cause, they lie and cheat and do what ever they see fit if it is for the betterment of the Republic and more importantly the group, they all worship REVAN and they have fondness for many of Mace windus teachings, they won't stop until all force users are under one banner, there banner, the ruthless, tainted views of the crazy group called the IOIN, they hate rey palatine or lets call her Rey Organa to continue the organa line, rey and her band of Skywalker's, that's what they call her team, who roam the galaxy helping the poor and sick, bringing justice to those willing to pay, they end conflicts, and try to stop force users from joining the IOIN cuz there so battle hungry longing to endure much bloodshed. They all use very georgus, complexly crafted, renaissance style hilted. . ... Purple sabers, there is a council but more see it as a coven filling the new ioin Archives with as much Jedi history texts and relics as well the Sitheian constructs and knowledge, that's why Rey Organa and her apprentice Finn Qordello and some secret characters I need keep to myself for now will chase down these relics and keep all Jedi artifacts and either burn or lightsaber shred, and If there down on the money's: calamari bucks lol, theyll sell the Sitheian texts, ancient weaponry, broken sabres, latent armor, masks and the like from the old republic and etc. To kind, non force addapt aliens, not humans cuz there so easliy corrupted by the dark side. Thanks for reading

Gray Jedis are the closest to the original je'daii

Ipressive...most impressive.🚬🤖⚔

The Jedi often labeled certain abilities as being of the dark side. It was most likely that they could lead one down a dark path, and perhaps they were simply being over protective. Much like their false belief of a Jedi not having romantic and familial relationships. There are other abilities that are inherently dark and there is no way to use those powers without being evil at heart. However again there are many stories of legend where Jedi that had fallen to the dark side had been redeemed and returned to the light. What of all the force sensitive that were rejected by the Jedi and those that were never discovered by the Jedi or Sith? Some may have been dark others light but most were mostly likely somewhere in between as they didn't have the training of the Jedi or the Sith and left to their own devices. One does not have to have formal training to become proficient. Not everything is black and white and there are many shades of gray. Perhaps there is no dark or light, there is just the force.

Didn't Skywalker try the Grey jedi path and have a significant portion of young jedi fall to a hivemind ?

We are the gray this is the way

Honestly, I like your definition of the Grey Jedi more than what I previously thought. Thanks again for more informative videos as Star Wars Acolytes like myself look forward to carving out our own stories within a galaxy far, far away.

I will love to see Gray Jedi in star wars universe

Someone like a librated jedi is more open, powerful and connected more to telekinesis way more than if the same person being trained with restrictions. True jedi's power is more connected and potent usually; free, compassionate, liberate, maybe having a happy-go-lucky feel while having the needed knowledge, without strict things.

Why is it that all of the videos that I've seen on this subject all assume that following the will of the Force is mutually exclusive to the light side of the Force and those who subscribe to it's associated philosophies? The force itself exists in balance as it is composed of both the light and the dark as one. Wouldn't following the dark side also be considered following the will of the Force? The universe expresses itself through both Chaos and Order as well as both Light and Darkness. Wouldn't the all encompassing energy field know as the force do the same? What if the Sith and their diametrically opposed enemies, the Jedi, follow extremes of the Force they describe as Light and Dark? The predecessors of the Jedi aka the Je'Daii knew that better than most and strove to maintain true balance in the Force.
