Message: <blockquote data-quote="Haradim" data-source="post: 1549443" data-attributes="member: 8468">I tend to rate ideal Jedi as LN, and ideal Sith as LE.An ideal Jedi will have dedicated his or her self wholly to balance, self-improvement, and defence of the Force. They would strive to understand the Force, and their actions would be focused upon ensuring that all things remain in their proper balance. Their only attachment in life would be to the Force; such a Jedi would likely be disinterested in the peoples and places of the galaxy, save for whatever might be contrary to the 'will' of the Force. An ideal Jedi, by my estimation at least, would be no hero, and would likley never be heard of at all by non-Jedi. They would be servitors of a higher power and purpose, and only serve to better (or maybe hinder, in some respects) the galaxy due to how they preserve the nature of the Force. They train rigorously for this purpose, and focus heavily on developing their minds, bodies, and souls.An ideal Sith would be much as one would expect from the Sith; evil, greedy, dangerous, and so forth. What would make an ideal Sith is one who survives despite what he is, and that means having control and restraint, improving themselves and finding their own personal balance that enables them to keep themselves firmly within their own grasp, while allowing them the freedom they so desire, or at least as much as they can by compromising somewhat with certain personal restraints.Yes, I tend to see Old Republic Jedi as less than perfect specimens of what they are; I don't think any one of them would really be able to attain the 'ideal Jedi' badge. The Order is just not separate enough from the rest of the galaxy, and too active and involved, to allow for the kind of focus needed.Then again, which Order would you rather have around? I think I'd go with potential heroes over cold, distant manipulation.That's my 2 bits anyway.</blockquote>
