Obi-Wan Kenobi believed that his friend was irredeemable. He fought Darth Vader and decisively won, severely wounding him.

Which is that there isn't a Light side, there's balance and there's the Dark Side. This is clearly no longer canon.

But it was intended to be at one point, which is how we ended up with the Jedi Council literally working like the Presbyterians.

"Presbyterian Church" was from that terrible Chinese translation and comes from "Presbyterian" literally meaning "of elders"
