    I like the explanation for it in rebels.

    ”do or do not there is no try”

    what goes that even mean?!

    I don’t know, but master Yoda said it all the time.

    (Some time later)

    I am going to teach you to be a Jedi. I might fail. You might fail, but, if all we ever do is try, we’ll always fail.

    “Pretty much only a sith deals in absolutes, at least most of the time…”

    Man, the “only a Sith deals in absolutes” line was really one of those things that sounded a lot better on paper than it actually turned out to be.

    Even beyond the obvious self-contradiction, “dealing in absolutes” is such a weird attribute to describe as unique to the Sith… Like, the identifying mark of a Sith isn’t their hunger for power and control, nor their mastery of the Dark Side, it’s that they aren’t moral relativists? Really?
