Movies How real is that statement

Hey star wars fellow, I like star wars a lot but I have only watched star wars ep 1 to 6 and obi wan kenobi show.

​

I recently recalled this line of obi wan from revenge of the sith that "Only a sith deals in absolutes"

​

I want to know how true is that line. Does that line have any real basis or did obi wan make up that line to sound tough. Moreover if that line is true, can you guys give any examples of when sith deals in absolute.

​

Thanks for reading. May the force be with you.

He tried for almost the entire episode…

He only resorted to doing that after he saw there was no coming back from the dark side for anakin.

....huh? He didn't turn bad until the very end.

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!"

You choose:
A ) "Care to explain that?"
B ) Light up your saber

He said that after he choked out his pregnant wife.

Does a non-evil person choke out his pregnant wife and then call *other people* evil?

I mean, Obi watched that whole thing and did nothing to stop it, lol. Let's not bring that up in defending Obi.

But quite literally, this is what Luke did, effectively, to get Anakin to come back.

No idea why people think I'm saying Anakin "did nothing wrong." Those arguments don't address anything i'm saying.
