I would like to see more of the Prophets of the Dark Side, does that count? Or would that fall under the category of "Dark Jedi?"
The Prophets of the Dark Side were founded by Darth Millenial, a rogue Banite Sith (Cognus's first apprentice, to be specific).
What do they do besides sitting around? They should had been the Krayt Sith coming out of hiding to seize the galaxy. it would had been awesome.
Azrakel killed most of them before they got around to it. Carnor Jax and Lumiya took care of the rest.
I'd like to see a culture that is not warrior-based that is Force-sensitive. I am tired of basically everyone I've ever read comments of saying that basically if you're not a Jedi you're a Sith. (Not meaning this thread but it is an over all tone of many).
But people have the attitude that only the Jedi are "right." Wookieepedia's article on the Force even makes a point to say So much for the blind men and the elephant.
http://www.next-wave.org/may99/starwars.htm As for the blind men and the elephant. Of course, I would imagine that those seeking orthodoxy would argue that Lucas is talking about real life religion and not Star Wars religion. Ignore everything Lucas believes about religion when it comes to interpreting Star Wars.
Lets try this again: the witches of Dathomir appear in the Star Wars: Galaxies and I was wondering how do they differ "culturally" in the game compared to their earlier appearances?
Many people complain about the Ewoks beating the stormtroopers on Endor but what if it was thanks to some powerfull mojo by Logray? We all know, thanks to the Ewok cartoon, that Logray is a powerful shaman so the thing is that the blessings he gave the Rebels and the ewok warriors is the reason the did so good in the later fight. And It would not be hard to image Logray throwing curses on the Imperials from behind the battle line
There are five blind men, who all are describing what an elephant is like. One says, "an elephant is long and tube-shaped, like a snake." One says, "an elephant is pebbly, like a stone." Etc. The point is that each of them only has experience with a small part of the elephant (the first man knows the trunk, the second man knows the skin, etc), and actually all of their answers are accurate - if incomplete. Lucas in the above interview appears to be saying that in the real world, to him, religions are like that. Each has its own view, and while each is incomplete, they're all sort of driving towards some 'large truth.' In Star Wars, we call that 'large truth' the Force. But the same people who espouse the 'elephant' concept (everyone has a right answer, they're just all different parts of the whole) also seem to be saying that in-universe, there is only one right answer. And that answer is the Jedi's answer.
