The whole "good vs evil" simplification in Star Wars has always been bothering the shit outta me. Even Hitler didn't think he was "evil".
Meloncov
The idea that you can be a grey jedi and casually flirt with the dark side is so deeply contrary to everything we see in the movies.
Azzreal69
They don't flirt with the dark side cause technically there is no light or dark side, its all just the Force. It all comes from the same -1
Azzreal69
thing, life. Its how its used and the path by which you draw it from that changes it. Seriously though this is all made up stuff, but -2
Azzreal69
all this hate on there even being a Grey jedi is whats really stupid. Go back to your D & D roots you filthy fucking animals. <3. - 3

Gray is basically that edgelord in an anime that's actually a good guy.

EmileLewis
That's because he's an OC fanart 'shopped in between drawings of canon characters
Hobohead
That grey code is super edgey
Itouchthefishy
That's the thing, they really don't have a code. They just do whatever they believe in without being inherently good or evil.
serban1703
There is passion AND emotion. Well shit. Guess grays are bipolar
PhilbertPhrog
Passion and emotion are the part of the same thing lol how is that bipolar?
EndlessMouthDiarrea
All this Gray Jedi malarkey is some made up fan stuff, by the way.
EmileLewis
Grey Jedi ARE canonical in both the old EU and the new canon. But the notion that there's ANY codification of it is just fan faffery
comicbookSAM1995

LetumComplexo
Actually, the most recent episode of Star Wars Rebels pulls a good bit of it into the canon.
LetumComplexo
Not so much the title grey jedi but the concept of a force wielder who is balanced between light and dark without commitment to either.
Nirvash80
If Rebels is canon, could be that The Bendu isn't a character name, but a grey Force discipline.
inferiredivivus
There's Gray Jedi robes in Kotor >: (
bachterman
earl gray.
ShadeEmberi
No, didnt you hear it is all fan made up !
waiwode
Makes sense, since there are Grey jedi in KOTOR. Jolee Bindo is (self?-)exiled from the Order, but is often cited as an example of a Grey.
ICantstopbrowsing
No the gray jedi exist. The code is prolly made up. But there have been several grey jedi proven in canon
Disenfranchised
Eh, they kinda hinted that Ahsoka was a Gray Jedi after she left the Order
BillyMaysHereWithOxiClean
I think they referring to the 'code' rather than Gray Jedi as a concept.
Disenfranchised
I think the codes okay, the whole part about it saying the Force isn't evil or good, that it exists is just fine. The rest of it is crap.
BillyMaysHereWithOxiClean
That I agree with, it's the implication that Gray Jedi have some higher purpose that I take issue with.
lemonsherbet
Several grey jedi codes and they make me cringe.
TheReturnedLordLucifer
Why? Don't let these wankers control your facial expressions. Just mock them.
fartmagizewarth09
Most of Star Wars is, frankly thats the fun part about Star Wars is creating your own stories in that universe.
SnoopDoggAttending
because having emotions for those you love and those who love you is human, and that its more of how you use the force than what you use (2)
SnoopDoggAttending
Most of the other fan stuff stems from books. Grey jedi is just a conned term for jedi like luke, who beleive there is no true sides (1/2)
icameinlikeafeckingball
The concept of a Gray Jedi is (or was) canon, essentially it meant anyone who didn’t follow the Jedi Code but wasn’t dark side either. (1)
icameinlikeafeckingball
They were never a centralised organisation tho nor did they have a specific code, seeing as not having a code was sorta the point of them.

Qui-Gon Jinn wants to say hello.

ClockworkArchangel13
actually, it was canon before Disney decided all of the books and stuff from the Extended Universe wasn't canon anymore. the grey 1/2
ClockworkArchangel13
originate in the novels.
GuitarWolf365
It's up in the air, especially concerning Rebels and Darth Traya looking person
FinValkyria
The code doesn't, that's what people are taking issue with. It's just bullshit someone made up to be edgy.
ClockworkArchangel13
oh, yeah. The Grey Jedi existed, but they had no true code. Essentially, "Maintain the balance and don't be a dick." was the only real 1/2
ClockworkArchangel13
2/2 code they had, and the second part was optional bordering on ignored.
Eleda
I actually read that Anakin's Padawan from the Clone Wars animated series chose neither Sith nor Jedi and went off on her own (1/2)
Meloncov
She left the Jedi Order, but definitely not the light side of the force.
Eleda
and that series is now part of the same official canon as the live action movies (if it ever wasn't) so perhaps the Grey does exist
comicbookSAM1995
https://youtu.be/mup7aH5LK_Y
Eleda
8D *gasp* OP noticed me! (thanks for the link! very cool!)
Goldenbeer
That may be true, but there is no order or code. They pretty much don't fully agree with either side. Qui Gon Jinn was thought to be grey.
Eleda
hmm I disagree. he bucked at the rules, not so much the tenets of the code (the ones in this pic anyway; this is the first time ive seen it)
samsonguy920
Exactly. He had different ideas but they still aligned with the light side. One has to wonder if he would have figured out >
hidoikenshi
Gray Jedi exist plenty, but there is no Gray Jedi "code" in any official Star Wars Media.
Eleda
not yet! Disney has the rest of forever for that so...
hidoikenshi
True, and I'm sure they'd handle it well. "Codes" in general have only appeared in the KotOR game series though.
bigmfmike
There is no grey code.
daiokaio
Starkiller...Galen Marek. Uses dark side powers, but also is good. Betrays Darth Vader.
daiokaio
Starkiller...Galen Marek. Uses dark side powers, but also is good. Betrays Darth Vader.
bigmfmike
No longer canon. Trained by a Jedi Knight. Grey Jedi were just Jedi who didn't always color within the lines. Same order same code.
Troteus
Revan also believed in balancing both sides of the force, which he did trying to defeat the sith emperor.
bigmfmike
Also no longer canon. He may have used light and dark but right up until the end of KOTOR he was a Jedi.
Troteus
Damn, I thought the new republic books were still considered canon
ChronologicalMyopia
You actually can't be a grey, see the Jedi and the Force are the default balanced natural way of things, darkside is corruption of it.
ChronologicalMyopia
Any silliness about how force users can't love, or heavy handedness about balance to the force is due to bad storytelling.
ChronologicalMyopia
See, the ban on love thing was Lucas' clumsily shoe-horning this in, love literally brings balance to the force...
ChronologicalMyopia
Anakin's love for his son is his redemption, saving himself, Luke and the Jedi, while finally destroying the Sith.
Skyisblue92
Actually the game Kotor deals with this exact situation whilst on dantooine (5/5)
Skyisblue92
Shoehorned or not, it is there so it is canon. That's what makes the jedi order unbalance. They tell people what is wrong and right. (1/?)
ChronologicalMyopia
They were never unbalanced and you could leave the order any time you wanted. Being a Knight or Master was a position of power.
Skyisblue92
Disagree with the order and don't realise that it's suppose to be a guideline, not a thing that's set in stone and even after a mistake(3/?)
Skyisblue92
And then when they do something that is believed to be wrong (falling in love) they convince themselves that they are a lost cause or (2/?)
Azzreal69
Well in the end he did bring balance to the force like it was foretold, and technically, he ended up being a grey.
ChronologicalMyopia
No, he was a jedi. Also balance always meant no sith, not 1 jedi 1 sith like aome people thought.
Skyisblue92
Is made there is room for redemption. I believe this is why most people turn to the dark side at a quite early age mostly during training4/5

BoozeHound001
That's more or less why Darth Bane killed all the other sith and started the rule of two.

Isn't there also that thing about how sith all draw from the same power source, so the less there are = the stronger they are?

Grey doesn't actually exist
CheesyPoofsWithSomeFavaBeansAndANiceChianti
Grey is cockamamie bullshit invented by EU fans and doesn't exist. People just made this shit up out of nowhere starting in the early 90s.
lexx416
"Grey Jedi" are dumb. And in the EU books, it's well demonstrated that humans are mostly only capable of a dualistic view of the force.

ShinichiIzumi
The newest episode. Also asoka is technically a grey Jedi because she left the Jedi to follow her own path
ScaryScarab
"I..am no Jedi!" - thus the only thing she can really be at that point is grey.
skelitor120
Grey as a personal ideal exists, but likening them to the other sects and giving them a "code" goes against the very idea of it.
Skyisblue92
Like atheism, a personal ideology shared amongst many people but without a group/order and code of ethics.
skelitor120
Being grey is more like being agnostic; it's the absence of two extremes, not a third equal-extreme
Skyisblue92
I'm not equating the beliefs of the two as similar. Just that it's not a sect or following. Just a personal ideal, set apart from others.
Skyisblue92
Also I wouldn't say atheism is an extreme. It's the natural standing point, you aren't born with belief, it is learned.
skelitor120
i'd say it's pretty extreme in terms of belief. "I suppose there may be higher power" vs "I am absolutely positive there's no higher power."
EmileLewis
Grey Jedi are canon. The idea that there's a 'Code' associated with them is fandom nonsense. Also, terrible OC insert art in the middle
Dontrespectmahauthoritah
Jedi are hypocrites and I can't stand that.
nerdmoot
As a lifetime, 40+ year old SW fan, these codes are REALLY fuckin' cheesy. Should be placed in a cringe dump.
Papakeecha
Grey Jedi is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Too scared to be Sith to lazy to be Jedi.
CheesyPoofsWithSomeFavaBeansAndANiceChianti
Not only is it stupid, it's simply fan fiction based on the early Zahn works which predate a more fleshed out canon.
MrHaynies
"more fleshed out canon" he says, like the hundreds o expanded universe stuff that was considered canon wasnt fleshed out....
CheesyPoofsWithSomeFavaBeansAndANiceChianti
MOST of what was written wasn't considered canon; Lucas simply didn't expressly call it thus, so people took a lot of liberties. And yes, 1/
CheesyPoofsWithSomeFavaBeansAndANiceChianti
2/ the Zahn works very much predate the vast majority of EU books etc.
Dontrespectmahauthoritah
Sith are idiots with their constant backstabbing and jedi teach apathy. Gray is simply not belonging in either order.

You just move the decimal. 1 metric fuckton would be 100 assloads, as the assload unit of measure is based on Michael Moore's rear end.

Because love can lead to betrayal which can lead to hate

Thing is Jedi could leave the order if they wanted to. They weren't forced to stay in if they fell in love.
PhotogenicHemorrhoid
They equated love with obsession. Obsession leads to bad things.

I can see where you're coming with that and it makes sense, but it could have been worded better in that case.

necessarily bad. I recall there being a sith who said it was their duty to be evil, rather than be evil for evil sake or personal gain (2/2)
seeriktus
Its explained in the animated series, its either the force incarnate (yoda meets this) or a force-user who doesnt align (older Ahsoka Tano)
Flippinballz
Yes but people like it because it has the edgyness of the sith without the moral guilt.
GuitarWolf365
I like it because I could then separate myself from shit I don't care for. Oh they are looking for Luke? Nah fuck that (1/2)
GuitarWolf365
I'll just be here working on droids for an honest paycheck. If the force needs me for something it'll let me know. (2/2)
AfroSamuraiRM
I like it because I don't have to be the big bad evil guys full of hate that murder a lot. And the Jedi seem oppressive and that's a no go.
AfroSamuraiRM
I can use the force and lightsabers? And I don't have to pick a side? Neat-o

https://youtu.be/mup7aH5LK_Y and rebels is canon
brainplay
It's a force wielder with no code. That doesn't make him grey. That makes him unaligned. I doubt he will seek to keep things balanced.

There is no such thing as grey jedi CODE. Grey jedi yes. But they don't have a code. "I have morals to guide my amorality" sounds dumb, no?
beardedheathen
Welp now I have to watch rebels. But hte grey jedi code is retarded.
MOTHERFUCKINGBOBROSS
Too bad it's shit
YokoHasReturnedTheyCry
All that does is show that there is something in the middle, that much was already known. It is the "grey code" itself that is made up.
thedudeman519
This reminds me of LotR when they hobbits meet Tom Bombadil in the Old Forest.
SunBrolem
It is, you can tell because its absolutely stupid.
GuitarWolf365
Well Pre-Disney Canon I believe orig there was no Dark Side/Light Side. Could be wrong though.
TheCommissar
Yes. There is no canonical basis for a "grey side" of the Force. Thinking you're walking the line is called dark side in denial.
Azzreal69
Sith = chaotic evil, jedi = lawful good, grey = neutral alignments.
ClassyTavi
it's brought up in the rebels series
Aerolfoz
There are some grey jedi, grey sith, and force users completely idnependent of Light or Dark (Father from Clone Wars comes to mind)
KnifeKnut
Found the Jedi :)
JerreyRough
The "grey side" stuff is being touched on in Star Wars: Rebels right now actually. So we might see the new canon basis for the "grey side".
PhilbertPhrog
Mace Windu
ThatDiceGuy
He was still a Jedi he just mastered a fighting style that used anger like the dark side but never strayed from the light.
PhilbertPhrog
I'm talking about the walking the line part.
ThatDiceGuy
But there was no line to walk with Mace. He was a Jedi who mastered Form VII, Joyu or Vaapad.
bleekosa
okay first, there was a metric Fuck ton of canonical Grey Jedi before Disney came along and took a massive shit on the EU, and quite 1/
TheCommissar
There were no grey Jedi in the old canon, either. All examples of grey Jedi were still on the light side, they just weren't traditional Jedi
bleekosa
Well grey Jedi have always been more light side inclined anyways, they just don't mind using dark side powers and think Jedi are hypocrits.
bleekosa
honestly, fuck what Disney says. They came in at the end like a bunch of hipster plebs and were too lazy to build upon what was already 2/
bleekosa
there, moreover the fact that they kept Clone wars, rebels, and Old Republis Cannon means that most if not all of the EU is still 3/
bleekosa
Canon because soooo much of the EU ties in with events in those series that those series would be totally different if not for EU. 4/
hrondleman
What does the European union have any thing to do with star wars/Disney?
bleekosa
*Facepalm, it stands for Expanded Universe. Jeezus its like no one knows anything about Star Wars anymore other then Disney crap.
TheCommissar
Those Jedi labelled as grey that have existed, like Qui-Gonn and Jolee Bindo, were still on the light side.
DongSayaDae
While Light fights the dark, the light strives for balance, without sith there wouldnt be a balance. But its a necesary evil as Dark aims
DongSayaDae
For complete domination. Ergo this "Grey" is already a part of the light side. Thats how i see it all at least, but ive only seen the movies
ClassyTavi
Tera Sinube also seems like a perfect example
HeironymousLex
So, like a Bernie Sanders of the force?
Sertoma
I mean if you're calling democrats the Jedi and the republicans the siths.
EtherealRune
sounds accurate
BoozeHound001
Yeah, it's super messy and contradicts itself.
raviolihummingbird
So just like life then, eh?
itsAone
wasnt a game made about a Grey? I dont remember his name but Vader was teaching him and he became the middle between Sith and Jedi
BoozeHound001
Yes and no, The game is force unleashed but he does become a jedi Knight in the first game DLC.

"Your presence is like a storm. You carry great conflict with you." I like this guy
zigzagler
Looks like it was written by an amateur fanfic writer.
TheFantasticJurassic
Yeah "Chaos, but Order" seems a liiitle contradictory
TheWanderingBard
Organized chaos and chaotical order. Yep. That's the point: life isnt black and white. It is both and neither at the same time.
Azzreal69
So is life for that matter.
Allhailmidgetgoat

I disagree, the most powerful force users were grey, look up the story of Revan, he literally became immortal
brainplay
Revan was never a Grey Jedi. Being conflicted over the two sides doesn't make you one. It just means you're conflicted.
Jmankjp
If you think the path of the grey Jedi doesnt literally scream the definition of what Revan was then you dont know what he was
GuitarWolf365
I wouldn't call him Grey, I'd go as far as saying Revan was his own Force Line (Seperating himself from all other force users)
bleekosa
Dude, lern 2 Revan. He was the most grey Jedi there ever was.
proileri
Yes. By
legalizegillyweed
By what?
Skelliton
Ivegotitallmost
Some old-timers like me still judge things by the EU books and not the newer TV shows. Jacen Solo was grey before being a Sith.
Ivegotitallmost
Plus there are tons of Force-users who don't identify as Sith or Jedi
brainplay
None of which are Grey Jedi. Jedi and Sith live by a code. The pic above shows a Grey Jedi code that they must live by but generics do not.
ThatDiceGuy
There were tons of Gray Jedi before and after the Empire. Most notable was the Imperial Knights, who have a code & served the Emperor.
brainplay
Calling an Imperial Knight a Grey Jedi would get you chopped up. Sith and Jedi have a code. There was no Grey Jedi code.
brainplay
Being a light side force user doesn't make you a Jedi any more than being untrained or exiled makes you a Grey Jedi.
