[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 7977452, member: 6788736"] I think they're both important, as is the degree of the evil and the context behind it. I could see a rare few Good person forced into the ridiculous 'kill a baby to save the world' scenario actually killing the baby (for example). That's clearly an evil act (but not one that makes the Good person, no longer good), if their actions before and after were consistently good, they agonized over the act, and it haunted them forever. Even then I doubt a [I]truly [/I]Good person could do it. I could also see an otherwise Good person, doing a henious act out of rage, or hatred in the heat of the moment (and totally out of character) that might not make them an (overall) Evil person, particularly if they showed insight into their behaviour, repentance, and a commitment to change and be good. It was jarring when Luke Skywalker pulled out his lightsaber to murder young Ben Solo in his sleep, even though he didnt go through with it. If he had have actually been shown as doing it? I would have left the cinema over a betrayal of his character and his established morality in the three movies to date (he's basically NG). [/QUOTE]
