Tiberius said:Right, that is why the jedi are always and I mean always depicted with great self discipline and trained to not give into self or emotion. those things lead to the dark side or in this case the very human side.
I have to strongly disagree with this. The whole point of the 6-movie Star Wars saga is that you have to have a balance between self/emotion and discipline/reason. Luke does not triumph in RoTJ because he is a creature of total discipline -- he triumphs because he has enough discipline to balance his selfish emotions (such as anger at his father) with his unselfish ones (such as love for his father).
Similarly, Anakin does not fall to the dark side because he lacks discipline, but because he lacks any emotional support from his fellow Jedi.
When you genuinely care about people, you are not subject to the corruption of power. You're subject to making mistakes, but you can only be corrupted if you allow yourself to become detached from people.
