In everything, there is good and evil. The light and dark sides, if you will. And, of course, George Lucas’ Star Wars universe is no different. The whole idea behind the Force is that it must be balanced for harmonious living to take place. Thus, even though the force is balanced in and of itself, …

In the Star Wars universe, the galaxy is split between the light and dark sides. On the light side, there is the Jedi Order, which is under the ruling of the Galactic Republic, and on the dark side, there is the Sith Order, under the ruling of the Galactic Empire. Naturally, these two organizations have …
Meditation is the practice of using mindfulness or intense focus to train the awareness of an individual. This is done to achieve mental clarity, emotional peace, and general control over one’s entire self. It is exactly the same in the Star Wars universe. The Jedi meditate as much as possible in order to become the …
With everything in life, there is good and evil, light and dark, right and wrong. Of course, it isn’t always that clear-cut, but the division between the two moral standpoints is a good jumping-off point. George Lucas’ wonderfully crafted Star Wars universe is a perfect example of this division. The Force is split between the …

Though …
In the Star Wars universe, there is a clear distinction between the two sides of the Force. There is the light side and the dark side. Those who adhere to the Jedi’s general idea of what’s right and wrong are part of the light side. They believe in peace, keeping a clear mind, and protecting …
In Star Wars, the Sith reside on the dark side of the Force. They are Force-sensitives who contest the Jedi way of life. This has never sat well with the Jedi, who opted to annihilate the first Sith Order, known as the Brotherhood of Darkness. From that point onward, the Sith and the Jedi have …
I have a confession to make. Not only did Mas Amedda fail to make an impression on me, but I just learned his name. He was just the blue guy that showed up and yelled “order.” Which, it turns out, may have been one of the reasons that Palpatine kept him around. Mas Amedda is …
This has been on everyone’s mind ever since the first Star Wars movie, and it only became more confusing once we were introduced to Count Dooku. It made sense for Palpatine to keep his identity as a Sith Lord hidden in the prequels. But what about Dooku, Kylo Ren, the Inquisitors, and Snoke? Asaj Ventress …
