That's especially prevalent if you hold on to the idea that the Dark Side is the cancer upon the Force, which is a misquotation of something George Lucas has said. Such view seemed to be vaild in the OT - the Light Side is never referenced by name, it's just the Force, and the Dark Side is like a disruption of its natural state. I've seen a lot of people clinging to the idea of there being no Light Side - just the Force and the Dark Side (kinda reversed-Potentium view from Legends). This has been obviously talked to death before, but some ideas are nontheless so prevalent that some clarifications must be made. After a few recent posts and comments I feel the need to reopen the discussion about the Force, the Light Side and the Dark.
