Pick a character that you would probably end up with if you developed Force powers and could be a Jedi or Sith adherent. Not necessarily what you would WANT to be in an ideal world, but what you really think you would end up acting as with these powers given to you.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

I'd be like Anakin.
At first I'd do good for people, opening doors, helping them carry things, dodging killer litter, etc.
Then, when people start hating me I'll become jaded.
EVentually I'll you my OFrce powers to trip people, flip skirts, mindtrick everyone, etc.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I'd like to be Mace, but I doubt I'd end up that well off. I wouldn't be Luke because he thinks (and whines) "is this too Dark?" far too much -- much more than I do with my actions.
So I'd end up as Qui-Gon or Anakin. I picked Qui-Gon because I think I'd end up using my abilities for good overall, but even when my actions or dubious, I wouldn't use the violence Anakin does. Well, unless I'm pushed too far.

I kinda see Kyle Katarn as a Qui-Gon Jinn type; he's not interested in idealistic crusades or releasing his hatred. He's a middle of the road type, mostly...

Corran Horn is another Qui-Gon/Kyle Katarn type as far as Force usage goes. He'll use the Force to accomplish his purpose, regardless of how "Light" or "Dark" the powers are. But his purpose is always good, and Corran is ready to sacrifice himself for his friends or for a purpose he believes in, which keeps him on the Light Side.
I'd be like Corran, well, because he thinks a lot like I do. I'd use the Force to accomplish my purposes, but my purposes aren't for my own aquisition of power; I don't care about power.
Oddly enough, neither did Anakin... he wanted power because he wanted to use it to protect people. Anakin went to the Dark Side because he couldn't trust others. When Padme fell off the transport, he didn't think she'd be okay and wanted to help her. On the other hand, Corran let his wife go on dangerous missions because he trusted her. I think that's one of the reasons why Anakin went to the Dark Side while Corran didn't.

Yes, a lack of self-assurance, and a lack of confidence in others. Anakin's road to the dark side is one that is paved with good intentions...
I'd probably be a neutralist type Jedi myself; I'm not too interested in personal power. I find it interesting to note here that half the respondants so far would willingly go to the Dark Side, I wonder if they really want to live like the Emperor Palpatine himself?
Many others here are of the middle-of-the-road variety, which I think is a good sign. Too many goody-two-shoes makes the party dull.

I picked Qui-Gon.
The only reason why Luke whines about what he does is too dark is because he doesn't know jack shit about how the old Jedi Order and because he's been tempted to the Dark Side before and knows how hard it is to throw away that temptation once you got a taste of that power. So he looks down upon using any Dark Side power at all.

I would be in between Luke and Qui-Gon. I would try to stay away from Dark Side powers, but not let that get in the way of doing the greatest good. Luke from Jabba's Palace is probably the most like me: "I'm here to do what's right and don't get in my way, or you will regret it."
