If you shekel up you can use a Roll20 API with all the fancy dice. It's not pricey at all, especially if you divide the cost by the players.

>>51514377

>>51514377

Is there a reason why hyperspace computers in SW need to be in autonomous droid bodies? What's the advantage? Seems inefficient and in the X-wing, too exposed to getting shot.

>>51514413
>>51514399
Legends Incom tried making X-wings that had regular computers in place of astromechs. Turns out that shit became too easy to sabotage. Turns out astromechs work wonders as car alarms, in additon to all the stuff they can already do.

>>51514399
They don't NEED to be, the Falcon doesn't use one, but astromechs are veritable Swiss army knives of star wars droids and they can be good companions as well.

>>51514399

Quick Armada question.

A friend of mine was kind enough to give me some turbolaser reroute circuit promos, would using them on a arquitens in conjunction with Needa to have the option of keeping a second evade freed up or using the reroute on both attacks be a good idea or is it overkill? For reference I'm running Tagge. I can also post the full fleet list if it helps.

While I'm asking what are you anons currently running and what are your local metas like?

Stuck on my next encounter for my AoR group, anons. They've just made contact with a cantina owner who needs them to find and liberate a prison, but I need an organic way for them to get some info about the prison.

Stormtrooper defector? Slicer? Give it your best shot.

>>51514619

TRC+Needa wouldn't be a bad idea if you think you'll be able to keep your Arquitens at long range (which is easier for a broadside ship than something like the Nebulon-B).

So I'm thinking about running a Star Wars campaign but I can't decide which to run. AoR, FaD, EotE, or something else entirely? My players are most interested in running an Imperials game but which books should I use for that? Thanks in advance

>>51516352
EotE, AoR, and F&D all use compatible rule sets, so you could play force sensitive smugglers working with the rebellion or imperial inquisitor bounty hunters or whatever mix you want. I don't have much experience with force sensitives in a party but from what I understand by the time they've invested in picking up and throwing particularly big objects or whatever force powers they choose the rest of the party will be doing pretty heroic things as well.

>>51516352
The EotE and AoR classes could all work. F&D classes are all for force-sensitives, and they aren't overpowered compared to regular pcs (gadgeteers are probably still the best spec in any of the 3 lines, and bounty hunters can follow it up with the very strong assassin spec).

The most broken thing in the game is using jury rigged to reduce the cost of activating auto fire from 2 advantage to 1, and the second is probably the doctors pressure point talent. Force powers are good, but very exp-intensive.

Credible arguments have been made for both Obligation and Duty in an imperial game. There is a fan-created imperial duty table in the pastebin which you might find helpful.

>>51516352
If you're fine with older games you could run WEG D6, 1e works well for a pick up & play game and 2e Revised is pretty good too. Good Sourcebooks for things and stuffs.

Anyone created a villain for there FFG campaign using the inquisitor rule in FaD? How did it work out vs a Rebel or Scum party?

I have no force users in my group but they have over 100 obligation, 70 points of it are directly related to the empire. The closest thing I have to a big bad is an ISB agent who has risen through the ranks and knows one PC (obsessed with artifacts and antiques) has a holocron.

Is it in character to send a combat-monkey Inquisitor to hunt them down at the behest of the ISB agent? Is that too dickish/punishing/ That DM to do?

>>51517787

I'm quite proud of it. If they capture it, it means they can add a transport flotilla to their growing fleet, as I'm using armada for fleet combat.

Use a pair; one combat monkey one more detective-y. Start with just one probing their area after reports of possible Jedi activity. If they jump on them to fight, have them jet and come back with the second. If they run, have the two chase them.

>>51517775

AccCorrector and Ruthlessness for OT Prime Vader

>>51517984
I feel Inquisitors would only be sent if Imperials believe that a Jedi is involved. So far, they only know that they have a holocron, which is useless without the Force. More mundane force would be the most reasonable Imperial response, unless they know that the holocron contains information that could threaten the Empire.

>>51514619
Logistics. Who's bringing the space prison food, water, new prisoners, rotating guards, etc.? Odds are it's not the Empire's best and brightest. Even if it is above the usual transport shuttle pilot, it is probably routine enough to establish a pattern and possibly determine a way in. If it's the pride and joy of the sector chief, there will be inspections to show it off.

>>51517984
>>51518136
And Palps wouldn't want to risk inquisitors taking a peek.

>>51518153
>If it's the pride and joy of the sector chief, there will be inspections to show it off.

That's the thing. She's ambitious and ruthless, but she also keeps secrets because she's afraid of looking bad at all.

She legitimately will not call in inquisitors because word might get out that she's lost control of the situation.

>>51516324
He's very fast and can afford to lose the tail if he REALLY fucks up.

>>51517145
Why does he have two sized guns? The Ton Falk has no turbolasers.

>>51517632
Jury rigged Heavy rifle with Augmented spin barrel is better in every way. (WHY can't Light repeaters get the augmented spin barrel anyway?)

>>51517375
Would the ISB really use two outdated clamshells full of modular containers as a prison?

Not very imperial feeling.

On the other hand they can literally steal the ENTIRE prison which is metal as fuck.

>>51518852
None of it is authorised It's where the sector chief goes to hide any seditious elements so that if COMPNOR come sniffing she can go "Nope, no rebels here. I'm doing a good job."

It also helps she's using Rebel ships against them

I think they fell back into being a backwater after Bacta was invented. There are a couple bounty hunters from there in the Clone Wars.

Could Major ryhmer with APT, expertise and extra Munitions be worth the 38 points for 2 turns of near guaranteed 5 dmage attacks at range 2

>>51519074
>>51519101
They appear several times in the Clone Wars. They're perfectly canon.

>>51519119
IIRC Selonians live in tunnels under a planet surface covered in oceans.

They're space otters, and otters are aquatic mammals right?

Probs need engine upgrade and long range scanners

How long do we usually need to wait for scans in the post Neuromaniac world? No Disintegrations is in people's hands now.

>>51515139

Imperial fighters dont have hyperdrive so that's a non-issue for them.
Their larger ships have more dedicated hyperdrive navicomps so it's not a big deal. They do use R5 units though, just not for astrogation purposes.

>>51516977
>Lock Pads are dropped when drod is stopped

>>51519830
It can't have both, no real need for LRS anyway though. At PS7 ryhmer doesn't have as much issues with getting locks the regular way.

>>51520515
Right you are. You're going to struggle to get something locked and in arc at R1 without it, though.

>>51514204
>Doubles as a printer.
In all honesty, it would probably be very useful when fighting imperial bureaucracy.

>>51520528
Without the engine upgrade? Yeah probably.

Though thats part of the point of doing it with ryhmer, his advanced protons are range 1-2.

Players are currently the target of two different Imperial investigations; one from Imperial Intelligence, due to some weapon R&D info they inadvertently stole, and one from the Inquisitorius, for killing an Inquisitor in the past and leaving a body covered in lightsaber wounds.

If the two organisations managed to connect the dots that they're targeting the same group, do you think they'd consolidate resources? Would an Inquisitor just commandeer the entire operation, or would they work cooperatively?

>>51516352
Try an adventure for each and see what fits.

>>51520693

Yeah

>>51521740
In Rebels S1, the Grand Inquisitor pretty much had command over ISB agent Kallus.
So it really depends on ranks, I'd say. Or they could just do a joint operation, but I don't know enough about the military to say how that would work.
Whatever makes a better story is what you should be going for anyway.

How do you guys allocate credits? Almost every single session my players argue about how to spend the credits and I end up having to spend the credits for them. Its doesnt seem right and I would rather my players be able to spend the reward how they see fit.

>>51522930
Give each group member an equal cut of the pay.

>>51522930
In AoR, the commander divides them amongst the party, thankfully the leader of the group is a mature guy with legitimate charisma and leadership qualities in and out of character so there's rarely issues.

In EotE though, cuts are arranged as part of the job, but in spite of that they are usually allocated by gunfight. That group has a very high PC turnover rate.

>>51522930
My players have agreed to divide everything according to number of players plus one, for a generic party fund. This applies to all or games and works out pretty well.

>>51514612

My current meta is in XI7 hell. San Antonio meta is hyper-fucking-competitive and sent Justin-fucking-Curtis to the final table last year. I'm one of the worst players in the group, though. Been having some success with double turbolaser turrets on a Paragon AFII, mainly because it isn't expected.

>>51520696
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/S19_astromech_droid

>>51522930
My players split credits from jobs evenly, and then if they personally have any excess they don't have an immediate need for, they'll often dump it in the group bank, which is where they stockpile money for big group expenses like ships.

They also have regular income from a cantina they own, which gets divided up between the group fund and paying the NPCs they keep around.

I'm gearing up to run a high-difficulty AoR game set between 1-2 ABY where the overall mission is a hit-job on Emperor Palpatine himself. In the interests of not fucking with any continuity, it will be a cloned body double, but even the death of a body double has value in the overall war effort.

In our last Force and Destiny campaign, the city of Iziz (Onderon) got glassed because a very foolish PC thought that handing over evidence of Jedi involvement to the local Moff was a good idea. Before the fall, an NPC (pictured) stole data from the Imperial-controlled Royal Palace so she could give it to the Rebel Alliance in exchange for protection.

My idea is that this data should be what kicks off the plot of a rogue Rebel cell to try to knock off the Emperor. The thing I'm stuck at: What does the data say?

>>51524613
>What does the data say
Video of the Emperor giving Dooku the hyperspace coordinates used during the Battler over Coruscant

>>51524613
A leaked cipher of ImpInt code language, as well as a treasure trove of e-mails and comm traffic transcripts which point to Palps' travel plans or a potential weak point in the Imperial Palace's security.

>>51524613
>cloned body double
Why don't you make it some High Up Imperial instead.

If I were a player in that game, I might feel a bit cheated.

>>51524798
The Empire would see the death of the Emperor's body double as a great Rebel Alliance propaganda/recruitment tool. Anyone who witnessed this will be terminated.
I'm making sure this doesn't feel like a wasted effort on the part of the players.

>>51524716
>>51524762
Interesting suggestions. Maybe I'm being thick, but I'm not seeing how intel for a 20 year old battle would spark someone to say "Hey, let's assassinate Palpatine!"


Also thinking of incorporating bits from the Darth Plagueis novel.

>>51524878
Perhaps evidence of a plotted coup by other high Imperial officials against Palpatine, with the Rebel cell planning to assist/piggyback off of those plans?

>>51524613
>My idea is that this data should be what kicks off the plot of a rogue Rebel cell to try to knock off the Emperor. The thing I'm stuck at: What does the data say?
Information that allows them to get a shot at assassinating the Emperor, or maybe something about him having access to ancient artificacts. Evil artifacts, not Sith particularly but maybe Sith.

>>51524878
The hyperspace route is very secret and unguarded. It would allow a group of would be assassins to sneak into courusant space unnoticed.

Do Selkath, but if the players are visiting Manaan, make it polluted and full of crime - none of the pristine bullshit of KotOR. The planet fell on hard times a millennium ago when the going rate for their primary export was slashed, and since then it's morphed into an aquatic shithole. And that was before the Empire came.

Now the once-gleaming floating cities are dotted with slap-dash industrial construction that the infrastructure wasn't designed to support. Partially-flooded compartments are common, when the pumps stop working, get clogged, or are stolen for scrap parts by the locals. Waste is prevalent and pumped right back into the oceans. Many of the Selkath are sick from these conditions.

And in this undercurrent poverty and outrage, violence has erupted. Gangs have sprouted up in the cramped residential neighborhoods, thriving in this uncertain age. Young Selkath no longer grow up wanting to be merchants or Jedi, but instead crime lords or bounty hunters.

Millenium Falcon's hyperspace computer knew the ship had been tampered with but nobody would listen to it (or C3PO) when it told R2 and R2 told C3PO after they left the death star.

Must be frustrating to be sapient and literally nobody on the ship can hear you speak and the one time you do find something that can talk to you and you have something critically urgent to say the "captain" just walks off and ignores the advice.

You could just have the fact that there's a clone be reason enough.
Like, the Rebellion's ultimate goal is to remove Palpatine - perhaps this cell discover intel about a clone being developed on Coruscant, and they take it upon themselves to destroy the clone and the facility working to create him.
They know that if the Emperor dies and a clone can just take his place, this war will never end.

For the bigger nerds in the group, their party's actions could be the reason that the clone tech was locked away on Wayland - hidden away where no one would find it, after the original project was destroyed by their Rebels.

No Disintegrations was a fucking joke. Fucking two new species and one is a fucking literal who unless you read a shitty comic. The new specs are boring garbage except for MA which just seems like a marauder extension than a new spec. No cool new weapons or upgrades infact the only new thing that was decent was fleshing out bounties and payments. Zero substance is what FFG has been showing. At this rate new soldier book will be garbage as well.

My group wants to try Star Wars. Which FFG system should we use?

We're mostly newish to roleplaying. Most of us don't know anything about star wars but the movies, except that I've played a lot of the games. One guy has read a lot of the books, although I don't know what counts as a lot since I think there's about a trillion books.

If Tarkin started gallivanting around the galaxy blasting heavily populated worlds that were rebel hotspots, how believable would it be to have entire ships, crew and all, start defecting from the Imperial Navy? In my campaign, the Rebels only managed to damage the Death Star rather than destroy it, and Yavin IV got fucked up by a single reactor blast, scattering the rebels and all that and forcing them back into hiding and hit-and-run strikes. So far, Mon Cala has already been destroyed, Ryloth has been fucked up, and there are rumors that Bothawui is not far down on the list. Last session, the party was trapped on Chandrila due to an Imperial blockade, and the Death Star fired a single reactor blast at the surface, while the blockade in space has orders to destroy any ship attempting to flee because Vader wanted Mon Mothma to watch her world die slowly. How unreasonable would it be to have a Star Destroyer in the blockade defect and aid escaping ships? I imagine most imperials didn't sign up for shit like this, but then again Star Destroyers have very large crews and It would be kinda weird for them to immediately be OK with committing treason.

The captain of the ship that I was planning for this to happen to is an Alderaanian who was in denial about the Empire's involvement in the destruction of Alderaan, so it would make sense for him I guess, but the only way I can see myself having his crew go along with him is if most of them were Alderaanians, or if he was just very popular.

>>51528462
Pablo admits he dislikes Reddit and their insanity.

He was a little confused when they created a subreddit just for his quotes - /r/thesupremepablo

Twitter certainly seems to be his social media of choice, but he's yet to prove or disprove anything about going to other sites.

>>51528551
I don't think it'd be unreasonable, but it does have to be subtle for the situation you're describing.

Have the captain say they have orders to fire warning shots instead of proper shooting down ships. If Imp Command ask, they simply shrug and say "Oops, I'll get them next time" or "I got conflicting orders from another ship".

Also, maybe having the captain murder the ISB Commissar on the bridge if *he* starts making a fuss puts the crew in their place.

>>51528292
I like Kyle and all but you're kidding yourself if you're pretending he's not more two-dimensional than Kanan.

Not finding rebels would put her under further scrutiny. Everybody else in the Empire has to deal with rebels. If you have a sector that doesn't frequently capture rebels, one explanation that is going to pop into the head of any imperial checking on her situation is that she is a rebel collaborator.

>>51528551
For the ship to defect with its captain the crew must place their loyalty to the captain before their loyalty to the Empire. If the captain is charismatic and the ship has gone on an extended mission, such a situation might have developed naturally. Has the captain, the ship or the crew been mistreated by the Empire (factually or just in the eyes of the crew)? Is he a capable officer wasted on some low-prestige assignment?

To have a good chance at success I would imagine the captain would need time to talk to his crew. Before mutiny the captain should talk to all of the key people on the ship and either convert them to his side, or have them replaced. He might also make subtle reference to the current situation (blowing up worlds they signed up to protect), to drive a wedge between the crew and the Emperor.

The big moment in a mutiny like this is when the captain proclaims his intentions to his crew. If the crew don't support him, he is fucked. Even if Joe Trooper stands with him, the whole thing might still be undone by loyalists storming the bridge or blowing up something irreplaceable in engineering.

The blasting of a Core world with the Death Star might well be the emotional moment the captain has been waiting for to get his crew to revolt. Maybe it is the moment he himself needs to finally push him over the edge to treason.

I'll just never understand the sentiment. It's a tabletop game, why not let your players get the satisfaction of pulling off something near-impossible and see the effects their actions have on the universe?

I know as a player I wouldn't find the idea of a universe I can't tangibly impact to be very appealing. It's not exactly difficult to figure out how things would unfold if events played out differently to the movies.

>>51530162
Pulling information from droid's brains isn't as simple as you'd think, they don't record everything they see or anything like that. It needs sophisticated equipment and even then takes a lot of time and energy to get incomplete results.

Often easier to just make them talk.

>>51530170
Then why tell a story that doesn't matter on purpose? For example the players mission could be to find secret info about palpatine to discredit him, or maybe they need to murder a high rank chancellor or other big wig that they make up. If someone is really a no headcanon allowed for their games, why tell a story that involves main characters so closely? It will just make players feel like it's a railroad ride with no consequences

>>51530284
Stories that exist within other stories don't automatically have no value, the fucking hobbit is a story inside a larger story and it's still compelling because of the way things are done, there's no reason the same wouldn't be true of rpgs.

That's why he was asking for good reasons and consequences for the mission he wanted his party to run, anon.

Killing a clone of the emperor could've set off all sorts of shit in the films - perhaps that's why Palpy was at the Death Star, since his clone could keep things pinned down on Corsucant.
However, this insertion team murdered the one in the Imperial Palace, whilst the fleet destroyed the second Death Star.

You dont have to have them actively change the story of the films to have a story that 'matters'. Just weave it into the story of the films.

The problem is, from where I'm sitting, PC agency.

It's tricky to /ensure/ that the PCs won't take actions that would affect the story of the films without artificially limiting their options.

I'd just accept that it might happen and move on. If it turns out that the battle of Endor goes /really/ badly for the Rebels... well, time to start improvising. You're a GM, not a narrator.

>>51523173
well it at least sounds like a fun sort of hell

>>51530387

Again, that's true, but you dont have to have them be a central part of the film events to still be doign something that 'matters'.
Equally, you dont have to headcanon the films to have something that matters. It's really easy to come up with something outside that which is important.

Like, 'artificially limiting their options' is one thing, but at the same time, why would a party of random shitters be doing something important enough to affect the outcome of Endor?

>>51530698

>>51530029
TPM is easy to see good parts of because it world built. Tatooine isn't just a desert with moisture farmers, a hutt, and a cantina after TMP. It's got cities, a sports arena, etc. We see Coruscant for the first time in it, as well. TFA didn't really ADD anything besides a new look for astromechs and a TIE with a rear gunner. Maybe it will be redeemed by its later movies, but so far it's just a rerun.

>>51530698
To be fair, it's a bit of both. If you want Big Boss, Trailblazer has Ambush and Cunning Snare, where you can just make traps once a fight.

If you want Solid Snake, Commando/ Sharpshooter is where it's at. I'd probably go Assassin after though, as that's more sneaky, but if Twin Snakes was your shit definitely go Infiltrator and enjoy high octane melee dodging.

Anybody else notice that in season 6 episode 10 Palpatine bald-faced lies to Yoda and says Sifo-Dyas and Silman were sent out under Finis Valorum's administration when ten years before the episode, he was Chancellor not Finis?

>>51532830
With Stay on Target thats a pretty good combo, anon. Thanks.

Also, what should I take to Regionals. WhisperPalp or Biggs/Thane/Ghost?

>>51532878
What?

Palpatine was made chancellor after he had the clones commissioned through Silman and Sifo-Diyas, wasn't he?

>>51532878
Sifo-Dyas died around the time of the invasion of Naboo and the clones were comissioned by him before that. Palps wasn't in control until much later.

>>51532878
Yoda was wise not smart

Since we're discussing ARC's. Would Thane be good with Sabine crew+Bomb of choice?

>>51532975
My current list has Thane with M9 and Jyn, but it also has Biggs, and a Lothal Rebel with AutoTurret, Rey and a RecSpec

>>51532918
Yoda says it happened ten years before the episode takes place, Palpatine was elected 12 years before the episode takes place, thus Palpatine lied to Yoda's face and Yoda didn't see it or remember the fucker was in office when Sifo died, or perhaps it was just that Sifo died ten years before, but was helping Dooku and Sidious before he was elected.

>>51533030
Also, it could just be a writing error, because we know the vague timeline of how things happened besides that one line.

>>51533893
No, letting your emotions run out of control and take over your decision-making process is Dark Side.

>>51533893
No, wrong. Using your emotions to abuse the Force is the Dark Side, you can use your emotions and have emotions and stay on the side of the Force but if you let those emotions and passions rule you, You fall and become Sith or some other Dark Side order of Force-user.

>>51533910
Well yeah. But you could be like that kid on Captain Planet and use friendship or some shit to power all your force stuff and that would be dark side. Being a Jedi is about reaching outward and letting the universe guide you. The dark side is about looking inward and unleashing your inner strength of emotion. The key is that once you start focusing only on yourself and especially negative emotions like rage or fear you lose touch with others and become a selfish prick. So if you watch yourself and make sure it's not a bunch of negative emotions, you could draw on your inner emotional power from time to time and go all "faith in my friends" and shit

>>51533904
Whoever made it is clearly trying to emulate the Jedi and Sith codes, where one thing, say, ignorance, is mirrored by its opposite, in this case knowledge. The only set on there that are opposites are chaos and order. Serenity/peace is the same fucking thing, and passion/emotion are very similar, and most certainly not opposite.

>>51533885

Your husbando isn't real. Gray jedi aren't real. The force in balance isn't half dark half light, it's 100% light.

Well those aren't opposing each other but I agree with you the first two sentences are the same fucking thing, and making some of the words giant and some tiny doesn't help

>>51533943
Positive emotions don't lead to the dark side. Things like love and compassion are sources of good. However, the loss of a loved one can lead to anger and hatred if one cannot learn to let go.

>>51533955
>The OT never said light so there is no light side!!
>The clone wars episode with yoda says the dark side is a parasite, even though an earlier arc has balance as a theme and yoga fights a dark version of himself even though he's been a Jedi all his life, implying there's a part of him that's dark

Hey guy figured you'd be around soon

>>51533988
Bad=/= dark side

Good =/= light side

They are closely correlated but not the same thing. Like I said it's more about how you tap into your powers. Emotions is dark side, meditation and willpower is the opposite

>>51534003
There's more than one person who wants this muh gray bullshit to stop. The light IS balance. The dark IS imbalance. The fact that the OJO were too far up their own dogma to see the sith under their nose changes nothing.

>>51533955
New canon seems to disagree with that assessment. Bendu is a balance between the two. On Mortis, the Son is not treated as a foriegn source of corruption and imbalance, but rather an integral part of the Force itself. Its likely that the Sith themselves are the imbalance, as they use the dark side in their quest to conquer. The Jedi do not seek power or look to conquer others, so they are not a source of imbalance.

>>51533955
>Implying Jolee was ever anything but 100% light
That morality slider on his status readout was bullshit. Nearly everything Old JB said and did was in line with Luke's philosophy.

>>51533957
Anakin let his passions control him, and his love was tainted by obsession, anger, fear, and hatred. As for Obi-Wan, Anakin was an enemy combatant with obviously lethal intent and no desire to resolve the issue peacefully. Obi-Wan had no other options. I've got no clear explanation for why he let him burn, though. Maybe muh prophecy, maybe he couldn't bring himself to finish the job, maybe bad writing.

>>51533970
Not all the time. I'm compassionate with patients when I work as a doctor but they aren't necessarily my friends. Friendship is a closer relationship. See also creepy conversation Anakin with Padme about "unconditional love"

Bendu is massively unexplored at this point. It would be retarded to count out him being involved in the corruption of Ezra or Kanan at some point in the future.

>>51534030
>Emotions is dark side
>Classic Jedi code has "Emotion, yet peace" as its very first line, even in nucanon
No, it isn't. Emotion in itself is not inherently inclined to any faction. Those who walk in the Light can still have emotion, but they temper it with self-control and reason.

>>51534079
No it would be retarded to think that Bendu could possibly in any way shape or form cause any harm to Ezra or Kanan.

>>51534060
True, the OJO lost their way. Their decision to fight in the Clone Wars rather examine the root causes of the conflict, that the Republic had become corrupt and that they had become pawns of the Sith is proof of this. But then Vader killed them all, and then he redeemed himself and killed Palpatine. He brought balance to the Force by destroying the two orders that had unbalanced it in their unceasing struggle for control.

>Restates thesis as evidence

You got me

Regardless, people see the force and think "it's got to be exactly like this!" It can have duality and yet be singular. Light, dark, good, bad, these are things we as living beings map onto the force. But we also create the force as life. But the force gives life too. It's a divine mystery. I bet padawans meditate for years about this shit, constantly reciting koans to get a taste of what the force is like. It can't be boiled down to some post on a Neumoidian cartoon holonet site by you, me, or anybody

Being a grey jedi is about using the force to its full potential. The Jedi and Sith are wrong. In order to use the force to the greatest extent possible you must be able to wield both sides of the force. The defensive abilities of the Light combined with the offensive power of the Dark is an unstoppable combination.

None of the movies say anything about the light side, just The Force and a balance that Anakin will bring for all time.

No, all the time, if you put conditions on your friendships you're a shitty person. I happen to believe Anakin was right about that if you sympathize with everybody's pain you have to love them all unconditionally, Friendship might be closer but it's really just a deeper familiarity not any different than any other kind of compassion.
>>51534136
Acts of love are not foreign to the Jedi, see Luke in EU.

It's a terrible visual representation. It suggests to the uninformed that the force is in balance when there is both light and dark. That is not the case.

The jedi are only based on eastern concepts so much as to Lucas said "Gee, what about samurai wizards with laser swords?" NOTHING about the force holds up in a comparison to eastern religion under scrutiny.
