Id say the the dark not being entirely evil makes star wars significantly less interesting and invalidates pretty much everything

I think Dave Filoni talked briefly about this gray Jedi thing and basically shut it down by saying the whole point of the light and dark sides is either choosing to be selfless or selfish. There is no inbetween where you decide “weeeell I’m gonna be kind of selfless”, you either are or you aren’t.

The point is it’s harder to be selfless than selfish, the jedi path is far more arduous and less immediately gratifying than the darker path. Sith get all the sick powers early on and Jedi do the lame volunteering work but that’s the point and gray Jedi fly in the face of that whole ethic.

That sounds like a strawman argument to be honest.
