In the prequels Palpatine talks to Anakin about how the Jedi have only a limited understanding of the Force as you need to experience the Darkside for a full understanding.Now while this was designed to seduce Anakin to the Darkside, what if it was in part true? What if a Jedi who was unafraid of experiencing his emotions but had sufficient discipline not to be ruled by them? With one exception, we've only ever seen relatively junior Jedi get taken down the Darkside but what if a Jedi Master had gone down that route? Best of both worlds?The one exception is probably Count Dooku, who until it was obvious he was the cardboard cutout villain of episode 2, I had a lot of sympathy with his position and that of the separatists. From what I remember his conversation with a trapped Obi-Wan was quite reasonable. Of course, it was all probably just to manipulate him, but what if it hadn't been? Could've been really interesting if both sides had seen themselves as right (and from their perspective - good).</blockquote>
