"Gray Jedism" is moronic because there is no "Light Jedism' and "Dark Jedism".

What we see in the films is basically a conflict between Jewish Force Users and Nietzschean Force Users.

For their sins, the Jedi Temple is destroyed, but because Luke did not learn the lesson of this, he is not allowed to rebuild it.

The Jedi, by the organizational definition, are Light only...but as evidenced by the Prequels....well....

Making someone do something against their will with a wave of the hand is also a light side trick. In conclusion, the Force is a land of contrasts.

Other than the crazy puppets and set design the best bit of the Jabba's palace rescue is Luke trying to live out his "wait until they see how badass I am at the high school reunion" fantasy. Han sees right through it while blind. Harrison's disgust at being there plays

There are no contradictions in Jedi dogma.

Modern canon has framed it a little better, I feel. Someone like Ashoka, who is no longer part of the Jedi order but still tries to do good.

She doesn't use dark side powers.

If anything it feels like Jedi to Jedi not in Jedi order (Light side user) is more like the whole not every Dark Jedi is a Sith, but every Sith is a Dark Jedi type definition.

One thing I did like from KOTOR 2 was that the conflict from the first game has become known as "the Jedi Civil War" in the interim, because as far as the average galactic citizen is concerned it makes no different whether their lightsaber is red or blue.

There’s no such thing a dark side power.

Rey is ‘dark’ because she’s using her power to enforce feudalism.

I can probably show you several non-canonical sources where she's using Force Dominate on FN.

And probably quite a few with the reverse.

The force awakens. She forces Kylo to spill the beans using the force when he tries to invade her.

Honest question, do you think GL meant to portray Leia and the rebels as a conservative reactionary group that wants to reinstall feuidalism, or do you think he simply meant to invoke a fairy tale sensation of knights, wizards, princesses and rogues set in a sci fi setting and the feudalism is a accidental byproduct.

Nah, Superman saves New York Metropolis, but Super 9-11 still happens. R2D2 helps destroy an edifice of technological imperialism.

Superman does also destroy the Death Star World Engine, though.

Artoo: Purposefully helped cause the deaths of a millions of people who were legitimate military targets.

Snyder Supes: Purposefully killed only one target in self defense/saving a family, but caused hundreds or even thousands of innocent deaths through unintentional collateral damage.

Someone should make a Trolley Problem image of this.
