Sith Academy: Korriban

[Darth Logos]

And I ignored it 

Still need to borrow the books

Ja ja

[Illyiss]

So, at the risk of asking for <SPOILERS>, does it talk about HOW he stopped the heart?

Also, I wasn't previously aware that Rancors could sense force auras...

[Taegin Roan]

Thanks for the spoilers, now send me the trilogy so I can read it.

We need to get it up and running again

So I'm not the only one who hasn't read the Bane trilogy. That makes me feel better.

Me either.  There is a LOT on my to read list.  An overwhelming lot...

Nature itself has an aversion to the Dark Side. All around the temple, nothing grew in a radius of like 30m. All the animals avoided the area. When Bane touched down, the rancor initially came after him thinking "food", but quickly sensed that this potential prey had a similar vibe to the temple. One of those cases when an animal can sense a badder attitude than their's.

Yes, it explains how. I can spoil or just let you be surprised when you read.

Take your butts the B&N and for like $20 you can walk out with the whole thing.

I don't like going in to B&N, but Amazon works too.

So thats why all my roses died off. My Dark aura choked them out

Whatever. Back when chairs were plentiful, I use to love to go get lost in B&N for hours.

Possibly.

I always preferred Borders over B&N. Been a while since I just went to one to sit and read.

Possibly

More like working 20 hours a day killed my roses. Hybrid teas do not like to be ignored. But I will continue to tell people it was my Dark aura

Shut up, Chicago. I don't have a Borders.

No excuses. If Plagueis could sustain life when someone was inches from death, you should be able to maintain roses.

I will try, though like TR, it might have to be Amazon, though in my case, I don't know of a B&N nearby that I can get to.  And then having to have the money free.  Things are tight right now.

I too loved Borders more, are there even still Borders around, I thought they went out of business...

[Lady Agana Kath]

Shut up, Chicago. I don't have a Borders.

We don't either, they got bought out by B&N and all closed >.<

Bite me. I kriffing raise Orchids and am attempting to hybridize a waterlily. I can sustain life just fine. One just can't ignore hybrid teas.

We might all be a bit off topic.


So, Dark Side, is it really inherently "Dark", or is it really the path of passions and emotions, and just called dark by the Jedi because they hide from their feelings, and the Sith embrace the moniker because it serves our purposes?

It's all that hippy Jedi dogma. The darkness merely comes from within. Using negative emotions to draw strength from. As Yoda said "Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side are they. Easily they flow." I interpret this as they are easily generated, but also produce adrenaline. Adrenaline fuels instinct and usually negates rational thought. And as Uncle Ben Parker said "With great power comes great responsibility." The Jedi of course would frown on the potential to lose control, so naturally they shun the use of these emotions, and any emotional states that could lead to negative emotional states.

What of the rest of the emotional range?  I am curious where they fall, since the fools turn their backs on all emotion.  Anger, fear, aggression all dump adrenaline, as you said.  The other emotions, can produce drive, incite, inspiration, creativity in their own ways, which can add a wealth to the aims and goals of the practicioner.
