Seth has also written lore for \u003ci\u003eDestiny\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGodfall\u003c\/i\u003e and designed the open-source space opera \u003ci\u003eBlue Planet\u003c\/i\u003e. The use of the Force to interfere in the secular universe is inevitably corrupting, so all light-side Force users either become petty police or withdraw into Taoist meditation in search of absolute truth. This leaves the use of the Force as a political power to malevolent dark-side adepts, who can only be resisted by their light-side counterparts. The attempt to find a just yet enlightened resolution to this paradox is the heart of \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e. Seth dreams of becoming a muscular yet small-brained deepwater fish. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHank Green\u003c\/b\u003e is the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eAn Absolutely Remarkable Thing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Beautifully Foolish Endeavor\u003c\/i\u003e.
