There’s so many of them I don’t even want to get into it. At the moment there is just one pressing question: What is the duration of Affect Mind ? And what are it’s limitations (if any) for that matter ?If the movies are a benchmark and you look at Obi-Wan using it in the drug pusher, telling him to: “Go home and rethink your life.”, then it seems as if it can be used to achieve almost any effect. And if you add the ruling in the book which states that the being affect considers its actions as perfectly reasonable afterwards then telling someone to : “Search for the truth in your heart”, could lead the target to join a monastic order…or something similiarly far-reaching.What if you use it to convince a Jedi that all lightsabers are tools of the Dark Side ? Does he dismantle his own and go on a crusade to rid the Universe of them (in keeping with the Jedi mores of course) until…one of his fellow Jedi brainwashes him back ?How far is too far, and what makes a certain thing “too far” ?Thanks</blockquote>
