Dark Side vs Light Side

Definition of the Force

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

Principles of the Dark Side

Palpatine: I can feel your anger... it gives you strength... makes you focused...

*

Anakin Skywalker: The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves.

*

Yoda: Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to... suffering...

*

Anakin Skywalker: If you are not with me, then you are my enemy.

*
If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed.

*
Palpatine: It is only natural. He cut off your arm, and you wanted revenge.

*

Yoda: The fear of loss is a path to the dark side... Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is.

*

Obi- Wan: Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

*

Darth Maul: At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.

*

Darth Vader: You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me.

*

Yoda: Hard to see, the dark side is.

*

Yoda: But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will...

Yoda: (The dark side is ) quicker, easier, more seductive.

Palpatine: Good, I can feel your anger. I am unarmed. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete.

Palpatine: Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.

Yoda: Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Anakin Skywalker: I HATE YOU!

Light Side Principles

Anakin Skywalker: The Jedi are selfless... they only care about others.

*

Yoda: Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not.


*

Yoda: A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.

*

Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

*

Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

*

Obi Wan: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.

*
Qui-Gon Jinn: (about being mindful of the future) But not at the expense of the moment.

*
Anakin: No one can kill a Jedi

*

Qui-Gon Jinn: Remember, concentrate on the moment. Feel, don't think. Trust your instincts.

*

Qui-Gon Jinn: Remember: Your focus determines your reality.

*

Qui-Gon Jinn: Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.

*

Padme: Are you allowed to love? I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi.
