    Every actual “Grey Jedi” in the actual setting is either

    a) A light side user who thinks the space cops are full of shit. (Ashoka, Bindo or b) A dark side user attempting to be all edgy but who is actually full of shit (Kreia)

      Chris Avellone writing Kreia as a Jedi south park contrarian is 100% to blame for the folks UlyssesT is describing lol. Yeah, she’s clearly the villain, but these kinds of people were never media literate enough to wrap their heads around that.

        HP setting’s fucking nonsense. literally would only take one wizard to say “hey asswipes, magic is real. here is literally infinite bread. if they try to wipe your memory of this i am literally just going to transform into a fucking bird or something, fly somewhere else, and do it again. let’s go kill every world leader.”

        If Star Wars had better writing and consistent leftists on the writing team, there’d be room for Liberation Ideology Jedi

        This was apparently the original concept for Qui Gon and it’s still supposed to be true in the background that he was like this and the council hated him for it, it just frustratingly never actually showed up in any actual media
