##Jedi no longer associated with the Jedi Order

Gray Jedi are those who, though having completed the teachings of the Jedi, operate independently and outside of the Jedi Council. They are typically seen as misguided, though they have not necessarily succumbed to the dark side.

Well, I assure you, I see more grey than dark or light. I'm just a stubborn old man, tired of the foolishness of others.

##Jedi who were still part of the Jedi Order, but rarely listened to the Council's gudiance

"The so-called gray Jedi have been with us since the beginning. Although they do not break with the Jedi orthodoxy concerning the dark side, they bristle when asked to take orders from the Council. Gray Jedi make compromises, cut corners, and hide their actions from scrutiny, all under the assumption that their experience makes them authorities on policy. They are mavericks who are difficult to control, but can be valued members of the Order after they have been persuaded to follow the established hierarchy."

[Qui-Gon] Jinn always does things his own way, always sure he is right, always incredulous if we do not see it his way. Some think he is a gray Jedi.

##Those who try to walk a narrow path between the light side and the dark side of the Force

I have never met anyone like you, Cade Skywalker. You walk so close to the dark side and yet... You do not desire, even in some small way, the temptation of the power that the Muur Talisman can give you.

One self-proclaimed Gray Jedi from the Old Republic era is Jolee Bindo. During the Great Sith War, he sided with Exar Kun and fell to the dark side. When he later regretted his actions, the Jedi Council chose not to punish him and instead wanted to promote him to Jedi Knight. Jolee no longer trusted the Council's wisdom and left them.

Another example in the post-Clone Wars era would be of the Teepo Paladins who believed that blasters should be used alongside of lightsabers in combat and were censured by the Jedi Council. I suspect that the reason was because this made them seem more militant than the Jedi Order usually wanted to present themselves.

• Voss Mystics: An Old Republic species with their own understanding of the Force, who were neither interested in the Jedi nor Sith but had teachings similar to both.
• Jensaarai: An off-shoot created by a fallen Jedi during the Clone Wars, which taught a blend of Jedi and Sith teachings.
• Imperial Knights: A Legacy-era group who rejected the dark side, but were not fully following the light side either and tended to take a more pragmatic approach to how the Force should be used.

Some Force users such as Cade Skywalker, tried to dabble in both the light side and the dark side of the Force, without embracing either. This was described in sources such as the Jedi Academy Training Manual.
