1) I'm not seeing how that's an argument  2) Inherently - In an inherent manner. Inherent - Existing as an essential constituent or characteristic; intrinsic. Yep, pretty sure. Darth Vectivus resisted the Dark Side with his ethical code. I never said that all features of the Dark Side were irresistible, simply that cruelty and selfishness were among its features. Also, check your link. It leads to a blank Wiki because it says "tarwars" instead of "starwars"

"Sith? Jedi? Are these the only choices? Dark or light, good or evil? Is there no more to the Force than this? What is the screen on which light and dark cast their shapes and shadows? Where is the ground on which stands good and evil?" ―Vergere[src] Something to think about, hmm?

Whether you believe she was truly Sith or not, Vergere was pretty awesome. Some great philosophical questions she presents in Traitor, which to this day is my favorite Star Wars book.

Jacen: "You—you are a Jedi!" Vergere: "No, I am not. Nor am I Sith." Jacen: "What are you, then?" Vergere: "I am Vergere. What are you?" ―Jacen Solo and Vergere[src]

Shattering your expectations, one fallen Jedi at a time.
Vergere: "Perhaps you can tell me what has happened to the Republic in my absence. Tell me why the thousands of Jedi Knights I expected to contact on my return no longer exist, why there are only a few score half-trained young Jedi in their place, and what all of this has to do with this Sith Lord you mentioned on Coruscant, this Vader, your grandfather, whom I remember as that turbulent little Padawan, Anakin Skywalker." Jacen: "Well, you'd better sit down again, because this is a very long story." ―Vergere and Jacen Solo, during the Yuuzhan Vong War[src]

That is a good quote for life.

I would just say Socrates... I can't really think of any parallels between him and many other philosophers (it would be quite a stretch to compare him to Nietzsche, for example).

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back: the Darth Vader with the face of Luke Skywalker inside the dark side infested cave of Dagobah is Yoda's warning that Luke can become a monster just like Vader should he give in to the dark side, no matter the reasons. Yoda: If you choose the quick and easier path as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil, and the galaxy will plunge into the abyss of hate and despair. Except for this being a prime example of Nietzsche's, "He Who Fights Monsters." A quote attributed to Yoda is a paraphrase of Nietzsche's quote: "When you look at the dark side, careful you must be… For the dark side looks back." That's all I've got.

Wow, I totally forgot about that... excellent point.
