Character is an explicit good guy. Either in order to achieve a goal or by being forced into doing so by someone else, they have to use [[The Dark Side]]. Using the power itself is a technically neutral action, and in theory, it should be possible to use it to achieve the goal in question. But [[The Dark Side]] being [[The Dark Side]], it doesn't work like that. By its very nature, the power will somehow effect an alignment change in the character, and they will be a completely different person they were before they tried to use the power. They may or may not [[Heel Realization|realize it]], and [[Ignored Epiphany|may keep going even if they do]]. It can be a gradual process, as [[It Gets Easier]] (In video games, this is usually regarded as [[The Corruption]]).

* In ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'', Asajj Ventress spent many of her early years training under a Jedi who treated her with respect and seemed like her happiest days of her life. Then her master gets killed, she goes on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]], Dooku recruits her, and she is now one of the most effective Jedi-killers in the Galaxy.

** She and the Nightsisters did this with Savage Opress. They used some sort of Dark Magic, to transform Savage into a monstrous giant, who killed his brother when Asajj ordered him to do so. Earlier he became Asajj's slave willingly, in exchange for said brother's freedom.
