Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

@Leo Gura What happened to good/bad being relative? It sounds like you’re saying that it’s absolute now, which is kind of shocking. 

If reality is a dream, why does it matter if you lie to one of the dream characters? You’re dreaming yourself lying too, so it’s all a dream within a dream. There’s no actual morality in a dream.

Honestly, Star Wars is very stage blue in terms of morality, very us vs them (Jedi vs Sith). I’m surprised that you’re holding it in such high regard.

There's a deep irony when you look at the dark side vs light side IRL.

Superficially, they both reject external authority. 

But the dark replaces external authority with complete self-bias. While the light side replaces external authority with truth.

The light side also integrates the dark side, while the dark side cannot integrate the light side.
