The light side of the Force, also known as Ashla, was one of two methods of using the Force. The light side was aligned with calmness, peace, and passiveness, and was used mainly for knowledge and defense.

The Dark Side of the Force is a path of power, passion, and raw emotion, offering immense strength to those willing to embrace its temptations. Unlike the Light Side, which seeks harmony and balance, the Dark Side thrives on ambition, anger, and the pursuit of ultimate control.
