[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2970356, member: 10079"] What you're thinking of was not him using Force Lightning, but reflecting it and absorbing it. Not once does Yoda actually produce it himself. And Force Lightning is not actually electricity. It is the Force, corrupted and manipulated to cause pain/harm. If electricity is necessary to down droids, rip a nearby powersource with the Force and hit them with THAT. Or Force Push. Or even use a blaster. There are many, many options, and a Jedi(or any person considering themself a Light Sider) should never, ever resort to any of the Dark Side skills. Exactly why Light Side =/= Jedi and Dark Sider =/= Sith. However, it is very well defined in all of Star Wars lore that even a small amount of Dark Side use is corrupting...even if it takes time. And there are actually many cases of Dark Jedi working together. See the ancient Sith Empire before the Battle of Ruusan. An Empire of 'true' Sith, all with Dark Side abilities. The reason you don't see this later is because of the problems that developed from multiple powerhungry Sith after the Battle of Ruusan...which is when Darth Bane started the "Rule of Two". So, if there's only two 'true' Sith, then there aren't many to band together. As for Dark Siders in general, there really aren't many overall. But they do tend to develop in cults of sorts, so its still very group based...but there's definitely more backstabbing, etc involved. The Vong is actually an entirely different situation. If you've finished the NJO then you know that [spoiler]the Vong had the Force taken from them by Zonoma Sekot...much like Nomi Sunrider stripped Ulic Qel'Droma of the Force in the old Tales of the Jedi comics.[/spoiler] They aren't a corrupting influence on their own, and their technology is not actually evil or Dark Side at all. Instead...its nothing. The lack of Dark OR Light. i.e. An enitirely different thing. :) [/QUOTE]
