She had to make a decision, now.

Kill him, a voice inside her head said. It was amorphous, unidentifiable, raw. Pure vengeful emotion. So easy, she told herself. So quick.

She recoiled from it. From the dark side.

You know, with all the language throughout Star Wars about “giving in” to the Dark Side, how the Dark Side makes you more powerful, how the Dark Side makes you age strangely and destroys you, it sure doesn’t sound like an “opposite side of the coin” so much as the “deeper end of the pool,” like it’s actually the true form of the force and being a Jedi is about keeping it tamed so it doesn’t eat you the way it actually wants.

Eldritch Jedi pls

This is one of the reasons i love the second Knights of the Old Republic game, wherein one of the major characters (who defines herself neither as Jedi nor Sith) actually views the Force this way, saying “I hate the Force. I hate that it seems to have a will, that it would control us to achieve some measure of balance, when countless lives are lost.”

It’s also the game that gave us the two most entropic, eldritch characters in the franchise: Darth Nihilus, whose dark-side-borne ability to feed on the Force and consume life itself has twisted him into a half-living “wound in the Force”, more presence than flesh

and Darth Sion, whose entire body is a ruin, his flesh nothing but ragged scar tissue, every bone and muscle broken and torn, kept animated by will alone as he forces himself, second by agonizing second, to exist

I wish there were more horrifying perspectives on the force like that

This is one of the reasons the term “Light Side” never felt right to me, even before it was used in any official media; The Force always struck me more like an ocean than a binary concept: the deeper you go, the darker and more crushing it gets — at a certain point becoming an effectually consistent darkness — and while light filters down and fades for some distance, if there is a truly light “side” it’d be the surface.

Which isn’t to say “the Force is evil unless you flounder about near the top” — just that it’s a natural force, and as such is something you need to respect and be adequately prepared for. (Take electricity, for example: super awesome and pretty dang useful, but OH HOLY SMOKES don’t try and harness it unless you REALLY know what you’re doing!)

In this sense, being tempted by the Dark Side is less a case of “Hey, I wonder what’s on the other side of this coin it looks pretty cool haha oh whoops I’m Space Walter White now,” and more one of “The deeper into this thing you go, the harder you’ll need to fight to resist the ever-increasing pressure, to remain whole, even to just see whatever the heck you’re actually doing.”

(which is why Jedi training is so important: those padawans gotta build themselves a mental Deepsea Challenger!)

THIS META BLESSED ME

this also explains why, in a world with such advanced technology that could totally support a cyborg, general grievous was always sick, especially since he had no training in the force and was more machine than being.

SIA SENTENCE STARTERS. ( FROM THE TOP 5 SONGS ON SPOTIFY CHANGE TENSE, ETC AS NECESSARY ! )

I wake up alone.

I don’t need dollar bills to have fun tonight.

I know that I can survive.

I’m doing everything I can.

I’m just holding on for tonight.

I’ll walk through fire to save my life.

Let’s be clear, I trust no one.

I wanted to fight this war without weapons.

I don’t need money as long as I keep dancing.

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go.

You won’t see me fall apart.

It’s lonely at the top.

I ain’t got cash, but I got you.

Help me, I’m holding on for dear life.

Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking.

Come on, turn the radio on.

Can’t feel anything - when will I learn?

I found solace in the strangest place, way in the back of my mind.

I don’t care if I don’t look pretty.

Keep my glass full until morning light.

I wanted it but there were so many red flags.

Party girls don’t get hurt.

1, 2, 3, drink!

Tough girl, whose soul aches.

I want cheap thrills.

You never noticed that I was in pain.

Gotta do my hair, put my makeup on.

I wanted everything I never had.

You’re taught to cry into your pillow.

I have made every single mistake that you could ever possibly make.

I grew up overnight.

I’ll wash away all the things you’ve taken.

I’m gonna live like tomorrow doesn’t exist.

The vision still lulls inconsistently at the tips of her subconscious. Those words - these steps - echo in and out as she recalls the memory, still resistant to its call. She tenses, insistent gaze bound to Finn’s eyeline.

“When you touched the lightsaber,” she starts. She already knows the answer, and she knows that answer is her fate, but she wants to ask it anyway. To take the question out of her world, and into Finn’s, into the galaxy.

Her teeth graze her lower lip with a distracted intensity - a shaky breath warms her lips, and she wets them habitually. “You didn’t see anything, did you?” Feel anything? Become anything?
