I been sittin at home tonight. I got a cabin out in the wastelands on a certain desert planet I won't name. I got a bulldog too but she don't bite. That's right, a regular ol' bulldog. She ain't got six legs, three eyes, or four tails, and she ain't green. Don't ask me how I got her, but you can bet them Jawas'll find anything you want.

Anyway, I's thinkin tonight about force philosophy. You know the Jedi, the Sith, Light, Dark and all that mess. Way I see it, the Dark Side, the way of the Sith might get you more power in the short run, but at what expense? Whatcha gotta give up for all that power? I was always told never to look a gift horse in the mouth, but at the same time, I gotta believe "nothin's free in Waterworld." There's a lot of truth in that statement. And the truth of the matter is you gotta give up your freedom for all that power. Oh I'm sure the Sith believe that they're more free than the Jedi, commited as they are to "some old religion." But what freedom do the Sith truly have? They must become someone else, a violent hurricane of emotions that can never be stopped. For if you let up, try to slow down, you lose power as a result. When Dark Bane tries to increase in the Dark Side without an increase in anger, he fails miserably. He finds that he must completely lose himself to his emotions in order to gain power in the Force. Furthermore, he knows that to become truly powerful, he must train an apprentice to become more powerful than himself, in order that the apprentice will one day kill him to claim mastery of the Dark Side.

Folks, that's just a fancy way of comittin suicide which is the ultimate evidence that someone has given up on life: evidence that they hate life. Well guess what? The Jedi just don't like them apples. They may be commited to "some old religion," but it is that commitment to something greater than themselves that provides them with freedom. The point of a Jedi's life is not to fight lightsaber duels, but to achieve a peaceful and harmonic balance with the Force.

Well there you got it: when you can live in peace and harmony with yourself and those around you, that's true freedom, freedom to develop long-lasting and meaningful realtionships, freedom to enjoy life, not hate it as the Sith do.
