The kinda, sorta, "from a certain point of view" Dark Side
From a reader's comment at The Corner:
"I'm intrigued by the brouhaha about the politics of the line, 'Only a Sith thinks in absolutes.' It seems to me that George Lucas has been banging on about the Good Side and the Dark Side since 1977, but it seems that now only Siths think in terms of such absolutes and the Jedis -- a bunch of self-appointed megalomaniacs, if you ask me -- are presumably sort of ambivalent about the whole thing. Which means that all the other stuff about sticking with the Good and avoiding the Dark is rubbish, and that Lucas has been lying to The Children (hat tip to Mr. Stuttaford) all this time.
Could it be that Lucas himself is a Sith? I think we should be told."
