I've always thought that the "light and dark" paradigm of the Force was pretty limited. The so-called "light side" requires complete emotional detachment where the dark side is all emotion. What's that have to do with good and evil? The light side is all about control, the dark about freedom. I'd say it's more law and chaos than good and evil. The light side has the "mind trick" which is basically a very limited form of possession, a.k.a. evil. The dark side can CREATE LIFE! There are light and dark aspects to both sides, and a "larger view of the force" should have been taken by Lucas himself.
In context of this post, uhh... OK, this doesn't fit the post very well at all and I can't stretch it such that it does.
