Re: How do you become a Jedi
I feel that the Jedi Order's dying off, and Palpatine's rise to Emperor, was partially because the Jedi restricted themselves too much at the end. Yes, some Jedi could have families, but it took a maturity that wasn't common, since many people feel jealousy here and there. And we all know what that leads too....
As far as the Sith not being evil, that just doesn't fly. Lucas has always had it that Jedi are good (though a bit boring) and the Sith are evil (and much more fun). And Lucas has said that evil is punished in his universe. Thus, not only does evil fall to good, but evil falls to evil (like KotOR, Malak's treachery weakens the Sith, not stregthens them).
Just some ramblings from a blind cook.......
