star wars - Is it the Good side or the Light side?


Currently a friend and I are arguing about what the sides of the force are called. What I want to know is if the opposite of the dark side is called the light side or the good side.



Answer






  • Han Solo calls it the Light Side of the Force in The Force Awakens:



    REY: The Jedi were real.



    HAN: I used to wonder about that myself. I thought it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo. A magical power holding together good and evil, the dark side and light. The crazy thing is it's true. The Force. The Jedi. All of it. It's all true.





  • Kylo Ren calls it the Light Side in The Force Awakens:



    KYLO REN: Forgive me. I feel it again. The call to the light. The Supreme Leader senses it. Show me again. The power of darkness. And I will let nothing stand in our way.






  • Maz Kanata calls it the Light Side in The Force Awakens:



    MAZ KANATA: I am no Jedi, but I know the Force. It moves through and surrounds every living thing. Close your eyes. Feel it. The light... It's always been there. It will guide you.





  • Supreme Leader Snoke calls it the Light Side in the first trailer for The Force Awakens:



    SNOKE: There has been an awakening... have you felt it? The dark side... and the light.






  • Many of the Star Wars video games also call it the Light Side:

However it can also be referred to as the "Good Side", as Luke does in Return of the Jedi when speaking of turning Vader from the Dark Side:



LEIA: But why must you confront him?



LUKE: Because there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try.




It is called the "Light Side" of the Force, though "good side" is also acceptable. More often it is simply referred to as "the Force", "the way of the Force", or "the way of the Jedi".

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
