How they managed to blind-sight and utterly devastate the Jedi Order, was both shocking and brilliant. They were even led by a fallen jedi, who wielded a blue lightsaber subsequently ending democracy and bringing rise to tyranny across the galaxy.

Examples of LightIsNotGood in live-action movies.
----
* In ''Film/AlienAbduction2014'', the presence of the aliens is marked with a blindingly bright light glaring out of the darkness in pursuit of the fleeing family.
* In ''Film/AmityvilleTheEvilEscapes'', a demon-possessed lamp is the primary antagonist.
* The murderous stalker in ''Film/ABridesRevenge'' wears an all-white bridal gown - including a long dress, identity concealing veil and elbow length gloves.
* In ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': ''The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'': Much like in the [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe book]], the White Witch wears pure white and is a SatanicArchetype. Also in the movie, in the final battle her chariot is pulled by [[BearsAreBadNews polar bears]] and she has white tigers as minions, contrasting Aslan who has a grizzly bear and various great cats (including regular tigers) on his side.
%%* The escape from Crematoria scene in ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick''.
* The main villain of the ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' movie. While [[spoiler:the halfblood Gabriel]] turned out to be the main cause of the problems, Lucifer (Satan) was dressed in an immaculate white business suit and yet was not the major villain.
** There was that black goo clinging to his feet, though....
*** Though you can take it as a moment of FridgeBrilliance, since Satan was once an angel who was cast out of Heaven. It's a fitting look for a sullied angel.
%%* The premise of ''Film/TheDarkestHour''.
* ''Film/{{Daybreakers}}'': When Edward Dalton parks his car under a tree in the full heat of the day, the whole scene does a great job at equating light with fear.
* Doctor Cocteau in ''Film/DemolitionMan'' wore conservative white robes, was a moral pillar... and responsible for releasing a psychopathic murderer in order to maintain his perfect pearl of a society.
* Mehmet II from ''Film/DraculaUntold''. When he fights Vlad, he is surrounded by silver coins, wields a silver sword, and dresses in bright gold armour. This is still the same guy who demanded a thousand boys to use as soldiers. The silver is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by being a vampire's weakness.
* In ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'', King Einon always dresses in white. In contrast, hero Bowen is dressed in black.
* The fundamentalist minister in ''Film/{{Footloose}}''. Although, at least in the original, he's not as bad as most of the examples here. As a WellIntentionedExtremist AntiVillain, aside from his ''idee fixe'' about dancing, he is fairly reasonable.
* In ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'', El Indio. In some scenes he wears with white clothes, but this does not mean that he is a good person. In fact, he is an AxCrazy, cold-blooded maniac.
* Storm Shadow from ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''. Subverted in that he is also shown to be one of the few on the side of Cobra with a moral code (he doesn't kill women or children and is angry when Zartan does so, and in ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation'' [[spoiler:he pulls a HeelFaceTurn]].
* Commodus, the villainous emperor in ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', wears a pure white gown while battling the hero Maximus, [[DarkIsNotEvil in dark armor]], during the final battle.
* In ''Film/TheGodfatherPartIII'', the Vatican is revealed to be in cahoots with the Corleone crime family.
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''[='s=] ArchNemesis King Ghidorah is bright gold in color, in contrast to the charcoal-gray Godzilla. But whereas Godzilla tends to be a rage-filled AntiHero, Ghidorah is an OmnicidalManiac who simply likes killing so much that he wipes out whole planets [[ForTheEvulz for the fun of it]].
* ''Film/TheGoldenCompass'' seems to love this trope, to the point that Mrs. Coulter (who was black haired in the books) became blonde (to which the author said: "I was clearly wrong. You sometimes are wrong about your characters. She's blonde. She has to be."), and intercision is not done with a blade as in the books, but with lasers.
* In a rather bizarre scene from ''Film/{{Gordy}}'', the villain is shown with a heavenly, golden glow around him as overlaid footage of what he believes is sabotaged clips of the title pig is being shipped off.
* When we are introduced to the BigBad in ''Film/HeroicTrio'', he is wearing a gold, glittery outfit and is illuminated in the middle of a dark lair.
* ''Film/TheHungerGames'': The Peacekeepers wear pristine-white helmets and armor. Capitol, the heart of the decadent Panem, is an imposing ShiningCity. Even the rooms in the participant's rooms have bright white crystalline lights.
** In ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart1'', compared to District 13, the Capitol has its people dressed in bright lavish colors, the President is named after white snow, and its Peacekeepers wear bone white armor, but the Capitol is anything but good.
** In ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart2'', [[spoiler:tellingly, President Coin's outfits grow ever lighter and less utilitarian even as she's revealed to be evil]].
* ''Film/{{Immortals}}'' has the villain Hyperion, the titan of light, from Myth/GreekMythology.
* ''Film/InTheMouthOfMadness'': Sutter Cane, a [[AGodAmI godlike]] horror writer who uses his works to spread chaos and insanity, emanates light during his conversation with Trent about the power of belief in the {{Confessional}}.
* The main villain in ''Film/TheLegendOfZorro'' kills people because he believes he is doing God's work, and often quotes the Bible.
* A glowing, beautiful, angelic version of BigBad Sauron [[WhatCouldHaveBeen would've]] appeared in the climactic battle in TheMovie of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings: The Return of the King'' had the design team not decided that making the omnipotent Eye corporeal [[WhatCouldHaveBeen would've been silly.]] Still, the idea of Kate Winslet as a TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} character would've been something.
** Then there's Galadriel showing why giving her the One Ring would be a bad idea:
--->'''Evil!Galadriel:''' And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair.
** Saruman the White, as listed in the literature section. Though he isn't particularly nice looking and is surrounded by dark forces, he still has some light related symbolism, most notably in the scenes where Gandalf (then [[DarkIsNotEvil Gandalf the Grey]]) is present.
** In the realm only perceivable by those wearing the One Ring, the Nazgul appear as bone white harbingers of death (in contrast to their typical [[DarkIsEvil black shrouded profiles]] most everyone sees).
* In ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', Francisco Scaramanga wears a white suit for most of the film's second act. Although he briefly earlier weared a black suit, his white suit is his most iconic outfit from the film, as he always wears it when he appears as a playable character in James Bond videogames.
* In ''Film/MastersOfTheUniverse'', when Skeletor absorbs the power of the Great Eye, he transforms into a golden-armored warrior god with golden powers.
* In ''Film/NightWatch'' and ''Day Watch'', the good guys are called Night Watchers, while the bad guys are called Day Watchers. This is because the Night Watch are the side of the Light Others, whereas the Day Watch are the side of the Dark Others. The names are literal; Night Watch keeps a watch on the dark, and Day Watch keeps a watch on the light. The books and movies make it clear that when you get down to it, both sides are just people with jobs, and the Night Watch have quite their share of dicks.
* The white-suited humans in their clean, sterile towers in ''Film/Oblivion2013'' . Sure, they're more-or-less good people, but [[spoiler: they're unwittingly maintaining the Tet's ongoing obliteration of humanity]]. Similarly, the shiny, white, disturbingly TriggerHappy AttackDrones.
* ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}'' - '"Don't go into the light', Carol Ann!". In this case, the light is not good for Carol Ann because she is a living girl sucked into the beyond. The light however ''is'' good for the spirits hovering around there. Going into the light allows them to leave their bitterness behind.
* In ''Film/TheProphecy'', the allegedly good angels like Gabriel and Uriel, who express affection abundantly, love kids and can't stand to see people cry, are the villains on an anti-human crusade to destroy and rebuild heaven as it was before the creation of man. The devil has to offer his aid to the humans who end up getting involved in the war (which he does for his own ulterior reasons).
* Hilary Faye in ''Film/{{Saved}}'' is a pure, virginal, devout Christian... and also a HolierThanThou AlphaBitch who makes the main characters' lives a living [[IncrediblyLamePun hell]]. In [[ExecutiveMeddling the original ending]], she even pulls a UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} on the [[HighSchoolDance senior prom]].
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** The Stormtroopers are dressed in shiny white armor.
** On Kamino, [[CrystalSpiresAndTogas everything and everyone is]] [[ShiningCity shiny]] [[PartlyCloudyWithAChanceOfDeath except outside]].
* ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' (2007). As the Icarus II gets closer to the Sun, the latter begins to take on the impression of an all-powerful god, and not a friendly one either. Several people, notably psychiatrist Searle and the NietzscheWannabe villain, are [[SpaceMadness affected]].
* While not present in the actual film (unless you count the ice and snow), the most common poster for ''Film/TheThing1982'' depicts a man with a white radiance emanating from and obscuring his face, implying he was assimilated.

Examples of LightIsNotGood in live-action movies.
----
* In ''Film/AlienAbduction2014'', the presence of the aliens is marked with a blindingly bright light glaring out of the darkness in pursuit of the fleeing family.
* In ''Film/AmityvilleTheEvilEscapes'', a demon-possessed lamp is the primary antagonist.
* The murderous stalker in ''Film/ABridesRevenge'' wears an all-white bridal gown - including a long dress, identity concealing veil and elbow length gloves.
* In ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': ''The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'': Much like in the [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe book]], the White Witch wears pure white and is a SatanicArchetype. Also in the movie, in the final battle her chariot is pulled by [[BearsAreBadNews polar bears]] and she has white tigers as minions, contrasting Aslan who has a grizzly bear and various great cats (including regular tigers) on his side.
%%* The escape from Crematoria scene in ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick''.
* The main villain of the ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' movie. While [[spoiler:the halfblood Gabriel]] turned out to be the main cause of the problems, Lucifer (Satan) was dressed in an immaculate white business suit and yet was not the major villain.
** There was that black goo clinging to his feet, though....
*** Though you can take it as a moment of FridgeBrilliance, since Satan was once an angel who was cast out of Heaven. It's a fitting look for a sullied angel.
%%* The premise of ''Film/TheDarkestHour''.
* ''Film/{{Daybreakers}}'': When Edward Dalton parks his car under a tree in the full heat of the day, the whole scene does a great job at equating light with fear.
* Doctor Cocteau in ''Film/DemolitionMan'' wore conservative white robes, was a moral pillar... and responsible for releasing a psychopathic murderer in order to maintain his perfect pearl of a society.
* Mehmet II from ''Film/DraculaUntold''. When he fights Vlad, he is surrounded by silver coins, wields a silver sword, and dresses in bright gold armour. This is still the same guy who demanded a thousand boys to use as soldiers. The silver is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by being a vampire's weakness.
* In ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'', King Einon always dresses in white. In contrast, hero Bowen is dressed in black.
* The fundamentalist minister in ''Film/{{Footloose}}''. Although, at least in the original, he's not as bad as most of the examples here. As a WellIntentionedExtremist AntiVillain, aside from his ''idee fixe'' about dancing, he is fairly reasonable.
* In ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'', El Indio. In some scenes he wears with white clothes, but this does not mean that he is a good person. In fact, he is an AxCrazy, cold-blooded maniac.
* Storm Shadow from ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''. Subverted in that he is also shown to be one of the few on the side of Cobra with a moral code (he doesn't kill women or children and is angry when Zartan does so, and in ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation'' [[spoiler:he pulls a HeelFaceTurn]].
* Commodus, the villainous emperor in ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', wears a pure white gown while battling the hero Maximus, [[DarkIsNotEvil in dark armor]], during the final battle.
* In ''Film/TheGodfatherPartIII'', the Vatican is revealed to be in cahoots with the Corleone crime family.
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''[='s=] ArchNemesis King Ghidorah is bright gold in color, in contrast to the charcoal-gray Godzilla. But whereas Godzilla tends to be a rage-filled AntiHero, Ghidorah is an OmnicidalManiac who simply likes killing so much that he wipes out whole planets [[ForTheEvulz for the fun of it]].
* ''Film/TheGoldenCompass'' seems to love this trope, to the point that Mrs. Coulter (who was black haired in the books) became blonde (to which the author said: "I was clearly wrong. You sometimes are wrong about your characters. She's blonde. She has to be."), and intercision is not done with a blade as in the books, but with lasers.
* In a rather bizarre scene from ''Film/{{Gordy}}'', the villain is shown with a heavenly, golden glow around him as overlaid footage of what he believes is sabotaged clips of the title pig is being shipped off.
* When we are introduced to the BigBad in ''Film/HeroicTrio'', he is wearing a gold, glittery outfit and is illuminated in the middle of a dark lair.
* ''Film/TheHungerGames'': The Peacekeepers wear pristine-white helmets and armor. Capitol, the heart of the decadent Panem, is an imposing ShiningCity. Even the rooms in the participant's rooms have bright white crystalline lights.
** In ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart1'', compared to District 13, the Capitol has its people dressed in bright lavish colors, the President is named after white snow, and its Peacekeepers wear bone white armor, but the Capitol is anything but good.
** In ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart2'', [[spoiler:tellingly, President Coin's outfits grow ever lighter and less utilitarian even as she's revealed to be evil]].
* ''Film/{{Immortals}}'' has the villain Hyperion, the titan of light, from Myth/GreekMythology.
* ''Film/InTheMouthOfMadness'': Sutter Cane, a [[AGodAmI godlike]] horror writer who uses his works to spread chaos and insanity, emanates light during his conversation with Trent about the power of belief in the {{Confessional}}.
* The main villain in ''Film/TheLegendOfZorro'' kills people because he believes he is doing God's work, and often quotes the Bible.
* A glowing, beautiful, angelic version of BigBad Sauron [[WhatCouldHaveBeen would've]] appeared in the climactic battle in TheMovie of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings: The Return of the King'' had the design team not decided that making the omnipotent Eye corporeal [[WhatCouldHaveBeen would've been silly.]] Still, the idea of Kate Winslet as a TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} character would've been something.
** Then there's Galadriel showing why giving her the One Ring would be a bad idea:
--->'''Evil!Galadriel:''' And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair.
** Saruman the White, as listed in the literature section. Though he isn't particularly nice looking and is surrounded by dark forces, he still has some light related symbolism, most notably in the scenes where Gandalf (then [[DarkIsNotEvil Gandalf the Grey]]) is present.
** In the realm only perceivable by those wearing the One Ring, the Nazgul appear as bone white harbingers of death (in contrast to their typical [[DarkIsEvil black shrouded profiles]] most everyone sees).
* In ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', Francisco Scaramanga wears a white suit for most of the film's second act. Although he briefly earlier weared a black suit, his white suit is his most iconic outfit from the film, as he always wears it when he appears as a playable character in James Bond videogames.
* In ''Film/MastersOfTheUniverse'', when Skeletor absorbs the power of the Great Eye, he transforms into a golden-armored warrior god with golden powers.
* In ''Film/NightWatch'' and ''Day Watch'', the good guys are called Night Watchers, while the bad guys are called Day Watchers. This is because the Night Watch are the side of the Light Others, whereas the Day Watch are the side of the Dark Others. The names are literal; Night Watch keeps a watch on the dark, and Day Watch keeps a watch on the light. The books and movies make it clear that when you get down to it, both sides are just people with jobs, and the Night Watch have quite their share of dicks.
* The white-suited humans in their clean, sterile towers in ''Film/Oblivion2013'' . Sure, they're more-or-less good people, but [[spoiler: they're unwittingly maintaining the Tet's ongoing obliteration of humanity]]. Similarly, the shiny, white, disturbingly TriggerHappy AttackDrones.
* ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}'' - '"Don't go into the light', Carol Ann!". In this case, the light is not good for Carol Ann because she is a living girl sucked into the beyond. The light however ''is'' good for the spirits hovering around there. Going into the light allows them to leave their bitterness behind.
* In ''Film/TheProphecy'', the allegedly good angels like Gabriel and Uriel, who express affection abundantly, love kids and can't stand to see people cry, are the villains on an anti-human crusade to destroy and rebuild heaven as it was before the creation of man. The devil has to offer his aid to the humans who end up getting involved in the war (which he does for his own ulterior reasons).
* Hilary Faye in ''Film/{{Saved}}'' is a pure, virginal, devout Christian... and also a HolierThanThou AlphaBitch who makes the main characters' lives a living [[IncrediblyLamePun hell]]. In [[ExecutiveMeddling the original ending]], she even pulls a UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} on the [[HighSchoolDance senior prom]].
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** The Stormtroopers are dressed in shiny white armor.
** On Kamino, [[CrystalSpiresAndTogas everything and everyone is]] [[ShiningCity shiny]] [[PartlyCloudyWithAChanceOfDeath except outside]].
* ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' (2007). As the Icarus II gets closer to the Sun, the latter begins to take on the impression of an all-powerful god, and not a friendly one either. Several people, notably psychiatrist Searle and the NietzscheWannabe villain, are [[SpaceMadness affected]].
* While not present in the actual film (unless you count the ice and snow), the most common poster for ''Film/TheThing1982'' depicts a man with a white radiance emanating from and obscuring his face, implying he was assimilated.
* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'': Soundwave's robot mode vaguely resembles an angel. His satellite mode (well, at least the [[MerchandiseDriven toy version]]) also continues this theme somewhat.
** And his car mode in ''Dark of the Moon'' as well.
%%* Castor and Gem in ''Film/TronLegacy''.
* Frank Nitti, Al Capone's hired assassin from ''Film/TheUntouchables'' wears a pure white suit.
* The pagans worshipping the Sun God in ''Film/TheWickerMan1973''.
* ''Film/AWrinkleInTime2018'' shows the planet Camazotz as a pastel colored, beautifully sunlit place, even though it’s a planet where individuality and creativity are capital sins.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Emma Frost, who is ([[MsFanservice scantily]]) clad in white and can turn her body into a mass of shining diamonds, but has no discernible morals.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Archangel with his angelic motif and being a Horseman of Apocalypse.
