To Being a
Great Gray Jedi
By Qui-Gon Jinn.
Gray Jedi are considered unorthodox, independent, and rebellious. This is true; though some accounts of Gray Jedi's actions are exaggerated.
We are classic combinations of heroic clichés mixed with eccentric, defiant do-gooders.
We follow a path on a different spectrum than that of the traditional Jedi. The living force is very important-it lives! That's what we have been trying to get across to the High Council all these years.
That doesn't mean we are prophets for the living force; trying to convert the entire Order. Their viewpoint of the force is fine with us. As long as they aren't trying to take over the world with it; like those brain-dead Sith.
They must know the boundaries of insanity; yet do the insane. They must be stubborn, yet know when being stubbornness turns into being downright rude. It requires independence, a creative mind, and a distinctive style.
All of this can be developed in a matter of years. It is not a social statement; it is a way of life. It is to be taken seriously.
Come, now! Who's with me?
