This is based mostly on speculation on a movie that hasn't been released, but if Ep8 changes the common thought regarding Jedi; the widely touted, "Grey Jedi", would this new canon introduce a new faction tag? If so, this how they could introduce Revan?
Obviously this depends on a lot of unknowns but the limited information we have regarding Ep8 seems like this could be the way it's going.
As an extra, could any existing toons be listed under this potential new tag? Anakin? Mace? QGJ?
Food for thought.

Look at Fulcrum Ahsoka. She's still a morally good character, who protects those weaker, helps the rebels, and fights tyranny in the galaxy regardless of the form it takes. Regardless, the minute she renounces the Jedi council and turns her back on them, she's no longer a Jedi.
I don't see how a concept of "grey jedi" could fit into the current star wars canon. Not following rules is not the same as following the dark side. Neither is being aggressive the same as abandoning the light side. Do you think Qui-Gon is represented as a dark side user? What about the bendu? Do you think he is grey or just ambiguous and indifferent?
There is no grey side of the force in star wars. We are told that the dark side is about following ones selfish passions and lust for power and control, where as following the light side is about selflessness and compassion and submission and love. I don't see how you could logically embrace both of these at the same time. It kinda makes for a ridiculous hypocritical character.
I merely wanted to throw the scenario of what if that is the way the film goes and Grey Jedi do become more prominent, what would change? (For the game that is.)
This isn't very accurate. Jolee Bindo was a gray Jedi, and he could care less about balance and what not.
Sure, there were tons of problems with the Jedi Order. But the idea that it is "wrong" to exclusively use the light side of the force is not one of those problems.
Sith are the bad guys. They want power. They want to rule everything. They do it only for their own benefit. Jedi are supposed to be unbiased. They must not have rules such as "you are not allowed to marry anybody", "you are not allowed to love", "you are not allowed to do this and that". If the force is telling you to kill somebody, you KILL him. If the force tells you to help someone(as Qui-Gon did for Anakin) you do it. You don't wait for the council to approve. You are supposed to listen to what the force tells you. This is what Jedi are supposed to be.
We already do: Ahsoka, whose leader ability synergizes with Jedi and Nightsisters.
Qui-Gon is not by any means a gray. I'd say the closest thing is Bendu, who blasts both Imperials and Rebel ships in the final season three episode.
Neither are Grey Jedi, because Grey Jedi aren't a thing.
Also, Bendu is not a Jedi of any kind.
I didn't say he was, just that he was closest to a true neutral character.
And since they are not a tging, it doesn't matter that he isn't.
Same with droids. Thats as close as we will get if the developers are to be believed.
It fits perfectly. The reason the Sith exist is because of the Jedi. To destroy the Sith, the Jedi must also go. I see this being the theme in this entire new trilogy. Ben Solo is repeating history because Luke tried restoring the Jedi Order. Luke will realize the Sith will always exist as long as the Jedi exist. Many Jedi fall to the dark side due to the stupid rules the Jedi Order implemented. Anakin would have never turned to the dark side if the Jedi would have allowed him to marry Padme.
Luke is going to figure this out. He's making the same mistakes other Jedi did before him. Therefore creating the Knights of Ren and a new Sith order. It's inevitably leading to Luke being a grey Jedi.
No it isn't, because Grey Jedi aren't a thing.
Lawful Good - Jedi Council
Chaotic Good - Qui Gon, Ahsoka
Lawful Neutral - Grey Jedi
Chaotic Neutral - Bendu, Night Sisters
Lawful Evil - Palpatine, Vader
Chaotic Evil - Maul, Nihilus
It's all just Dungeons and Dragons in the end
Source? And they may not label it "grey Jedi" but it could still be a possibility. It's definitely the non-safe way of writing this new story, so you're probably right. Disney will just keep it simple for you guys with good vs. evil instead of trying something new.
Repeat after me: Grey Jedi aren't a thing.
this really made me laugh. it's hilarious and makes the point so well.
