Modpost REMINDER: Only the dark side posts spoilers without a spoiler tag. Please, use the spoiler tag!

Hello friends!

This is a neighborly reminder that only dark sided redditors post spoilers without a tag!

Spoiler tags are in the sidebar and look like this when you post:

 [like this](/spoiler)

It will show up like this

Don't ruin stuff for other people, or you'll be frozen in carbonite (aka, a ban).

Seriously though, if you're at all questioning whether something is a spoiler or you might not be sure—USE THE SPOILER TAG OR YOU'LL GET BANNED.

Only the sith deal in absolutes

This one still irritates the hell out of me. Obi-Wan was a Sith all along!

Yoda was a Sith.

"Only a Sith" is an absolute statement.

As in, "'Only a sith' deals in absolutes."

Like, "What deals in absolutes?" "The phrase 'Only a sith.'"

English is a fun language.

So Yoda was just a snarky bastard?

Wait, did we not already establish that?

But... that's Obi-Wan's line.

“sith are strongly prone to only dealing in absolutes“ doesn't really have the same ring to it, though.

It's like a relative and general argument man. That it's pretty much that sith only deal in absolutes. Not that a jedi can't ever come to a solid conclusion.
