The Temple Of the Jedi Order

I read somewhere that Jedi actually means

Jesus Diciple...

With my tally Anakin is 50/50 on the Jedi code. Closer to 90/10 with the Sith code:


Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.


...his chains weren't broken, but the Force did set him free.

Victory (being in control) also leads to needing more responsibility (more rules and more hard work, less time to relax and enjoy life).

Jedi seems to be about Others instead of self (...to love rather than feel loved...)

Sith seems to be more about Self instead of Others.

To me, Gratitude is a complete circle, Love and Acceptance combined with Joy, which is Loving Self and Others at the same time.

Now that is interesting, you should have made a thread about this when the movie came out.

Too late now. Although Star Wars and Jesus in one thread sounds like a formula for success.

Maybe Jesus vs Superman to see who is a better role model.

I don't know, just having fun, tossing around ideas.

I am Je dai.

There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no fear; there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness.
In balance with chaos and harmony,
Immortal in the Force.

In the light, there is a darkness and in the darkness, a light. It is the way with us all. Be a prisoner of neither Bogan (Dark side) nor Ashla (Light side). Strive to live in balance. As Tython (Force governed planet) itself teaches us, it is dangerous to do otherwise. And the danger is there—always.
Ketu

Its important to remember that the light side brought upon itself the revenge of the sith. The republic tried to exterminate them, but only helped to motivate them into revenge.

Also, The light side and old Jedi order trained and slighted the imbalance in the force through Anakin.

The light side is a force as terrible as the dark side.

All things are terrible without balance.

there is a source within the star wars mythology as related by star wars characters, and a source without as speculated by hardcore fans. I'm assuming you mean the source without, the real world source. this would be jidaigeki which are japanese dramas centered around samurai. so no, your christian propaganda is misleading. fun fact, the 'in universe' source is the je'daii which means "mystic center' a group that preceded the better known Jedi order.

Did you find those Nazirites you were looking for?

Oh wait, weren't you seeing Nazirites when they were not there? Yes I remember, you ''corrected" me on my improper "usage" of a word I never used and I have not heard back from you yet.

How the hell do you make a mistake like that, honestly, the two words don't even look alike and I only used one?

I guess you were distracted by the Force.

Or an unnecessary desire to correct people who didn't actually make the mistake you are "correcting."

Weird stuff is all, you don't forget such a thing. It's really bizarre, like Jabba the hut bizzare. Plus if I remind you maybe next time you will take more time for reading so you don't correct imaginary errors and get puffed up...and popped.
