Comparing The Light Side And The Dark Side Of The Force

The Force is a mystery. It is what gives a Jedi his power, and an energy field created by all living things. The force is the name used by both the Sith and Jedi orders for something in the universe, a power they tap into or act on behalf of.

The Siths grew up around the darker side of the force so its easier to use it, just like people who grow up in rough neighborhoods are more likely to be rough and evil because it is all they
