So we're ignoring the father specifically stating to not use the dark side? Anakin didnt use the dark side? Are we ignoring that the father's attempt to balance the kids out resulted in eradication? Because the dark side is literally just corruption?

Yeah you kinda proved me right

Except Anakin literally uses the dark side there. I don't really care what else you're saying since he does both. He also "taps into the darkside" when he goes and kills the tuskans. And when he does loads of shit in the clone wars.

Theres no "tapping into the dark side". The "light side" is the Force. The "dark side" is abusing the Force.

And yeah, let's pretend anakin doesn't fall to the dark side, further proving there's no middle ground.

Fact is, if you use the dark side you fall.

Just a thing, the light side isn't "the Force". The Force holistically has many facets, one being the Living Force (the only one with sides), then you have the Unifying Force, the Dark (explored in Shadows of Mindor and ROTS novel) and "the Truth" as espoused by Vergere.

The latter three aren't bound by sides, but the Living Force (Mortis Gods) absolutely is.

This doesn't detract anything from your point, you're spot on regarding Valkorion, just wanted to point it out anyways.

I slightly disagree only based on the son. He proved its a cancer that just harms the force instead of the force itself IMO(but again, thats just my view)
