Master Plo: "This I have used on a few occasions. At the distress of the council, because they thought all force lightning as only a tool of the dark side. That is true for most lightning because, as you have experienced, it usually comes as a result of great anger and rage. You have learned how to make lightning without fully giving over to darkness. This you can use, not as a product of anger and rage, but instead as a product of a balanced heart that seeks justice. It is made better when one is in balance and humbly allows the force to work through them. This makes it infinitely more powerful than the type the Sith use because this one is born of pure good not evil. The way it works, as I can best describe, is that it uses the imbalance and darkness within those who walk the path of darkness to turn all that is dark, corrupt, and evil in their hearts against them. If the force sees there is the possibility of redemption, it doesn't kill them, only temporarily immobilizes them. But for those who do not seek redemption and still want to serve the darkness within themselves it kills instantly. In short, what happens as a result of using it all depends on the will of the force, as it decides what is best and just to restore and preserve balance. Do you understand?" Rey: "I think so Master Plo." Master Plo: "Then let us see. Now feel the force around you and within you. Let its will guide you. Freely without ego or your own desires, let the energy of the Force flow through you and out of your fingers. Feel all emotions but do not be directed by anger or desire for destruction, but instead to an innate sense of justice. Listen to that still small non-audible voice that speaks, not to your mind, but to your spirit that always tells you the truth. It is the one that tells you the real difference between right and wrong. The voice that instills a sense of pure justice and tells you what is right in the eyes of eternity and what needs to be done. Now, let that sense of justice flow out from your spirit, into your hands and out through your fingers." She does all this, and golden lighting comes out of her fingers. Rey: "It feels completely different. Not angry or destructive, but peaceful and joyful for life." Master Plo: "There is a reason for that, for you are more attune to the true will of the Force then most of us were in life. The electric judgement works properly when used from your inner core sense of justice. But in order for the strongest and most effective form of it to be used, the user must first be humble and must not trust or rely on themselves only. For to wield the greatest of power one must first be absolutely humble in use of the Force." Rey: "What does that mean?" Master Plo: "I only learned this after I died, but the truth in what makes this the single most powerful force power of all, is not because of what it is, but where and who it comes from. This is at its most effective in stopping evil when you humble yourself completely and fully submit to the will of the Force and let go of all personal pride and self-righteousness. For it is the will of the Force, not yours, that is where true impartial judgement that is free of all bias and prejudice, comes from. When you use it, you need to remember that it is not you who is the judge or the executioner. For you are still flawed and are able to make mistakes in judgement. The Force judges based on unconditional love for all life and seeks only to preserve the balance that makes it so life can flourish. That is why often when I have used it, it didn't kill the person I used it on. For the Force sees when an individual has the potential to find redemption and become an agent for good. For a heart is capable of changing even in life's final moment. So, all must be given that chance, even though some hearts are already dead before the body is. In seeking balance, the force inspires in us the will to forgive those who bring chaos and destruction, in the hope they can yet choose a path that favors a selfless life full of love and light. Those who won't change are judged guilty and die instantly because of that unwillingness to change for the better. Always remember this, Rey, never take credit or honor for works of the force. The Force is the perfect judge and balance bringer while you are only a tool, an instrument that can freely choose to be the means by which the will of the Force is fulfilled. Keep that alive when you face Sidious." Rey: "I will, I promise. With the Force as my witness, I promise I will only serve the will of the Force and be its means of bringing justice."
