tasing someone with a non-lethal zap is considered inherently evil?!?
Come on man. You can't really tell me you believe Force Lightning is "non-lethal". That's just a disingenuous argument there. The shit was so powerful we could see Darth Vader's skeleton in flashes while he was being hit by it.
It varies from film to film. In a most of them that I've seen, it's someone who was *kicked out* of the Shaolin temple that goes and helps people. Actually, it occurs to me that Jet Li's "Tai Chi Master" is an interesting parable for the Star Wars prequels. Two friends are both taken in by the Shaolin temple as boys. Their lives are extremely harsh, unloving, and they are toughened by constant beating, but they learn to fight well before escaping. One joins the military and becomes a horrendous warlord. The other, though, goes to a good household -- where he gets married and unlearns the abusive ways taught to him by the Shaolin -- then invents Tai Chi as a reaction against the Shaolin. The story is that getting married and having a family is a key to balance and goodness, while being with a bunch of celibate men constantly training for violence just begets more violence.
I've seen Tai Chi Master, let me counter with "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin" based on San Te. Troubled kid learns Shaolin, frees the people from oppression, then returns to the Temple and teaches Martial Arts. A more modern example I particularly like is Bullet Proof Monk.
Can the force bring life to a dead planet? No. Can it counter darkside storms? No. Can it heal the wounded? On wait thats a Darkside power.
Alright, yes to the first and last question, no to the middle. Also you're dead wrong. Healing people is specifically a Light Side power. You can see for yourself here
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Force_healing. The Light Side is also capable of holding Black Holes in place if we want to start whipping out expanded universe examples. You seem to be going with this idea that "More destruction and killing ability" equals "Better".
As an counter argument for how Oxymoronic Jedi are, saying 'Watch Kung Fu movies' is a rather weak one.
Considering those are the actual inspiration for the Jedi, just trying to dismiss them is weak as hell on your part. They're not Christian Knights in any sense of the word, except for the fact they use swords. Come on man, give me a better example.
