Master Oogway and Master Yoda stood face to face on a grassy hill, surrounded by cherry blossom trees. They had met by chance, each sensing a powerful force in the other. They decided to test their skills and wisdom in a friendly duel.
Oogway: Greetings, Master Yoda. I sense you are a wise and noble warrior.
Yoda: Thank you, Master Oogway. You too, have great wisdom and strength.
Oogway: Shall we begin?
Yoda: Begin we shall.
They bowed to each other and assumed their fighting stances. Oogway held his staff firmly, while Yoda ignited his green lightsaber. They circled each other cautiously, looking for an opening.
Oogway: Remember, Master Yoda, there is no good or evil. There is only balance.
Yoda: Balance, yes. But also choice. Choose we must, between light and dark.
Oogway: Choice is an illusion. All is one, and one is all.
Yoda: One is all, hmm. But many are we. Different and unique.
They lunged at each other, exchanging blows. Oogway blocked Yoda's lightsaber with his staff, while Yoda dodged Oogway's strikes with his agility. They moved in harmony, like dancers in a ballet.
Oogway: You are very agile, Master Yoda. But do not rely on your speed alone.
Yoda: Speed is not all I have. The Force is my ally.
Oogway: The Force? Is that what you call the energy that flows through all things?
Yoda: Yes, the Force. It binds us, surrounds us, guides us.
Oogway: Ah, I see. We call it chi. It is the essence of life.
Yoda: Chi, hmm. Interesting name. But same thing it is.
Oogway: Perhaps so. But how do you use it?
Yoda: Use it? No, no. Feel it, I do. Listen to it, I do. Follow it, I do.
Oogway: I see. You let it flow through you naturally.
Yoda: Naturally, yes. But also with discipline. Train I must, to master the Force.
Oogway: Discipline is important. But so is spontaneity. You must be like water, Master Yoda.
Yoda: Water? How so?
Oogway: Water can flow or crash. It can adapt to any shape or form. It can be gentle or powerful.
Yoda: Ah, I understand. Water is flexible.
Oogway: Yes, exactly. You must be flexible too.
Yoda: Flexible I am. But also firm. Stand my ground I must, when necessary.
They continued to fight, matching each other's moves and counter-moves. They were evenly matched in skill and power. They respected each other as opponents and teachers.
Oogway: You are very firm, Master Yoda. But do not be too rigid.
Yoda: Rigid I am not. But also not weak. Resist I must, when evil threatens.
Oogway: Evil? What is evil?
Yoda: Evil is the dark side of the Force. Fear, anger, hate, these lead to evil.
Oogway: Fear, anger, hate? These are natural emotions.
Yoda: Natural they may be. But dangerous they are. Consume you they will, if you let them.
Oogway: I see your point. But do not suppress them either.
Yoda: Suppress them? No, no. Acknowledge them I do. But control them I do.
Oogway: Control? How do you control them?
Yoda: Control them? No, no. Control myself I do. Peaceful I am, calm I am.
Oogway: Peaceful and calm? That is good.
Yoda: Good it is indeed. But also alert I must be. Ready for anything I must be.
Oogway: Alert and ready? That is also good.
Yoda: Good it is indeed. But also relaxed I must be. Enjoy the moment I must.
Oogway: Relaxed and enjoying? That is very good.
Yoda: Very good it is indeed. But also serious I must be...
They went on like this for a while longer until they realized they were talking in circles and confusing themselves and each other with their words of wisdom. They stopped fighting and burst into laughter. They realized they had much in common but also much to learn from each other. They decided to end their duel and become friends instead. They sat down under a cherry blossom tree and shared their stories and insights. They learned from each other and grew wiser together.

The X-men has a lot of similarities. Xavier is also training the mutants to hone and control their powers to be used as a force for good. The x-men on the team then turn and act as teachers at the school, training a new generation to fight using calm and focus, just like the jedi academy.

Yeah his entire deal (in the first movie anyway) is lashing out violently after losing a loved one. That makes a great action hero but not a great Jedi.
I'm imagining a Sith Lord killing someone he cared about in order to gain a promising apprentice by driving him to the Dark Side. There wouldn't even be any hesitation. He'd embrace the Dark Side instantly and either kill the Sith Lord or die trying.
There would be no temporarily using his anger and hate to get revenge but then going back to the Light side. That's exactly how Jedi fall, and once they do they usually don't come back. He would hate the Sith but in the end he would become something very similar.

Plus the parallels are there. An evil emperor who isn't fully revealed to the hero until his superweapon in space is ready, an angry burned young man becoming the main antagonist directly attacking the hero who redeems himself in the end, the hero is the only one of a ancient order of mystical monks with special powers and specialized weapons.
Bonus points for a big furry dude that helps fly the heroes around and a sarcastic guy who doesn't put much stock into the mysticality of the world around him but is still ride or die for his friends.

Can we talk about the mail, please, Yoda? I've been dying to talk about the mail with you all day, OK? "Kamino," this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Kamino mail keeps getting sent back to me. Kamino! Kamino! I look in the mail, and this whole box is Kamino! So I say to myself, "I gotta find this place! I gotta go up to to this planet and put the mail in the their goddamn hands! Otherwise, they're never going to get it and it's going to keep coming back down here." So I pull it up on the droid and what do I find out, Yoda? What do I find out?! There is no Kamino. The planet does not exist, okay? So I decide, "Ohhhh shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper." There's no Kamino? You gotta be kidding me! I got boxes full of Kamino! All right. So I start marchin' my way down to Jocasta Nu in the archives and I knock on her door and I say, "Jocasta! Jocasta! I gotta talk to you about Kamino!" And when I open the door what do I find? There's not a single goddamn desk in that office! There is...no...Jocasta in archives. Yoda, half the employees in this building have been made up. This temple is a goddamn ghost town.

Sam.
As Sam stood there, even though the Ring was not on him but hanging by its chain about his neck, he felt himself enlarged, as if he were robed in a huge distorted shadow of himself, a vast and ominous threat halted upon the walls of Mordor. He felt that he had from now on only two choices: to forbear the Ring, though it would torment him; or to claim it, and challenge the Power that sat in its dark hold beyond the valley of shadows. Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dûr. And then all the clouds rolled away, and the white sun shone, and at his command the vale of Gorgoroth became a garden of flowers and trees and brought forth fruit. He had only to put on the Ring and claim it for his own, and all this could be.
In that hour of trial it was the love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command.
