[Star Wars] Force sensitives seem to either become Jedi and aid the republic or become Sith/dark Jedi and desire power. Are there force users who don't stay with either faction after being trained, and just use their powers for their own purposes?

This is now LEGENDS territory. . .




This is very common for many former Jedi. Less so with the Sith.  If a person wishes stop being a Jedi one simply needs to turn in his lightsaber (though this depends on the master) and renounce his connection to the order.  Some still consider themselves Jedi but to in their own path, no longer heeding the Jedi Council (example: Jolee Bindo).  Others create splinter groups (Djinn Altis). Others still leave the Order (Bardan Jusik and Ahsoka Tano). None of these circumstances prohibited the user from access to the force. Stripping the force from someone has rarely been done and only in extreme cases.
