In a nuthsell:

Rogue Jedi
Jedi Knights who use the light side and believe in many of the same things as the Jedi Order, but see the traditional Jedi Code as being too restrictive and not giving the Jedi enough muscle in the galaxy. Like the Jedi, but with more bite.

Shadow Jedi
Jedi who follow some of the same ideals as the Jedi Order, but don't believe in the idea of the Light Side and the Dark Side. They use powers from both sides (in theory) without falling to the Dark Side. Whether this is possible is open to debate, but TRF seems to accept them.

Dark Jedi (a.k.a. Fallen Jedi, Lost Jedi)
Jedi Knights who followed the Jedi Code and were trained by the Jedi, but lost their way. These are Jedi who have fallen to the Dark Side but who do not follow the teachings of the Sith.

The Sith
In essence, the Dark Side equivilent to the Jedi Order. They have their own ideals, rules, teachings, etc., as the Jedi do, but use the Dark Side of the Force for their own ends.


Dark Jedi and the Sith are not the same: one can use the Dark Side without submitting to the teachings of the Sith. Although the only way to become a Dark Jedi here seems to be to train with TJO and fall to the Dark Side. There is "Dark Jedi Order" or anything.

Valas
Rogue Jedi: Jedi who still follow the lightsight but aren't in the Jedi Order. Like freelance Jedi.


Demo
Rogue Jedi
Jedi Knights who use the light side and believe in many of the same things as the Jedi Order, but see the traditional Jedi Code as being too restrictive and not giving the Jedi enough muscle in the galaxy. Like the Jedi, but with more bite.



Although I'm no authority on the subject I think there's an important distinction that needs to be made here. On TRF, the term "Rogue Jedi" refers to a specific group of Jedi who used to belong to the traditional Jedi Order but became dissatisfied with the Jedi's seeming inaction in the face of cataclysmic galactic events. They split off under the leadership of Gash Jiren and took a more aggressive role in galactic events.

I think that to the TRF-outsider the term "Rogue Jedi" may imply a disorganised loner, loose coalition, or "freelance Jedi" as Vance said, when in actuality they were anything but. The Rogue Jedi were highly organised (moreso even than the Jedi Order, if the invasions of Ossus and Theed were to be compared) and followed a strict set of principals, which differed only slightly from the traditional Jedi Code.

So yeah, Demo's definition was rather nutshellish but good. I just thought this point needed to be made for all the new folk, as the name "Rogue Jedi" could be kinda confusing.

There have been several other discussions about the correct definition of Rogue and Shadow Jedi, mainly in the OOC forum. You are correct, Chau.
