It’s supposed to be the same concept that Buddhist monks follow, or any monks for that matter. Desire leads to temptation, and temptation leads to corruption, so they swear off all worldly comforts and attachments.
Right, but I don’t see that as being inherently “good,” or “evil.” Whereas the Jedi are very explicitly the “good guys” in a universe that does not leave much room for grey.
Ok? Seems as though you missed the point completely. I wasn’t talking about the Sith, at least they seem honest about their powers.
So is the implication that the Jedi have to be “good” regardless of the fucked up things they make their adherents do, simply because the Sith are “bad”? Is that really how simple and black and white this shitty universe is? Bad guy exist, therefore the their enemies must be the pure and holy good guy. And as we all know, there is no room for grey in Star Wars. Just like real life 🙄.
Jedi are universally portrayed as lawful good and are basically just the complete “good guy” archetype. Yet their actual beliefs and practices are pretty fucking "evil "in many cases.

Lying, deception, and selfishness are tools of the Sith, which are universally considered evil.
