If a Jedi did the same thing I would because their Code, and training, lies with the Light Saber.  A Jedi would use a Light Saber instead of the Force.  So there is wiggle room, but it can never be malicious, angry, or gleefully destructive.The best part: when he was swearing I said in my best Emperor voice, "Good!  Good!  I can feel your hate."Which only pissed him off even more LOL.</blockquote>
