I always hated that grey jedi shit. You cannot use your magic powers to hurt people for your own selfish goals just litte a, as a treat. The whole narrative around the force, at least in the better stories, is that the dark side is inherently corrupting - the more you use magic to hurt people to get what you want, the easier it gets to cross that ethical line.

Lucas himself derailed the old thematics of his own franchise when he greenlit the "there is an evil moon and a good moon around a magic planet and the wisest space god decreed that you must have essential evil nutrients or else you get imbalanced" episode of Clone Wars, effectively canonizing "Grey Jedi" bullshit.
This is why it's vital to remember that Maria saved Star Wars in the edit and Lucas didn't even direct Empire or Jedi. Through the magic of fanon and death of the author and contempt for IP law I can just pretend Lucas never said that.
Plus, Lucas was constantly making up new shit and retconning things. I firmly believe he was just making the story up as he went along.
But yeah god I hate the "father son daughter" bullshit. Like why the hell would you even do that? It's so dorky and out of place with the entire rest of the story. ; p
