    Both are from the same song, I'd say they're equally valid.

    Obviously they were all Jedi Master light-side Force users and have become one with the Force.

    I've probably seen that video like 3 times but it's only just dawned on me that they mean "metal" when he says "medal" :\

    I believe the introduction of Darth Vader to the world of blue glowies adequately dismantles your claim of light-side force users exclusively being able to communication through the force. Granted, he started as a light jedi he primarily used dark side powers even up until his death.

    I eagerly await your rebuttal.

    He turned back to the light side just before dieing.

    Rebutted.

    Yeah, he threw an old man off a ledge into a reactor core.

    Can't get much more light side than that.

    IIRC, "immortailty" is a light side technique. One thing that was never clear was how Vader knew this technique because, according to the movies, Obi-Wan didn't learn it until after Anakin turned. It's a pretty big plot hole, but maybe we're supposed to presume Anakin learned it from ransacking all of the records of the council, or through another Jedi. The Force itself doesn't have a light-side or dark side itself, it's all in how it's used. Presumably, Force Lightening requires different knowledge and practice than Force Healing though.

    Force lightening just lightens things, making them lighter and allowing you to lift them without hurting your back. Yoda used it on Luke's X-Wing before he levitated it out of the swamp.

    Yes it was a typo, but the ambiguity of English trumps your pedantry.

    Even still, Force Make-an-Object-Lighter presumably requires different skills from Force Healing and Force Lightning/Lightening. You should really learn more about Star Wars. :-P

    Your rebuttal seems to agree with my statements.

    Btw, as if I haven't derailed the thread enough, if you own Jedi Knight Academy (JK3), download the mod called Movie Battles II. It's badass.

    Think about it in terms of a video game. You have mana and you can use it to cast healing 1 or <b>lightning</b> bolt 1. The resource pool is the same but the skills are different. You must learn <b>lightning</b> bolt 1 before you can learn <b>lightning</b> bolt 2, and you can't skip to <b>lightning</b> bolt 2 because you know healing 1. Light side and Dark side are just the skill trees.
