Why does Sinestro have The Guardians create a ring of fear?
In the movie Green Lantern, if fear is the very thing that turned the original Guardian into Parallax, and it cannot be conquered (The Guardians themselves say so)... why then does Sinestro decide to have The Guardians create a ring of fear? If the Lanterns fought Parallax with fear... would he not just feed off of the fear from the ring? Not to mention, wouldn't the fear take control of any Lantern that tries to master it within the yellow ring? (Example: Sinestro in the end credits.)
Best Answer
Sinestro, was the leader of the Green Lantern Corps at the time and regarded to be one of the greatest Green Lanterns ever. He also had a very big ego and believed that he could accomplish what Parallax had failed to do: control the yellow essence of fear without losing himself to it. He also believed that the green essence of will power was no match for the yellow, and that if he wanted to defeat Parallax he would have to use the same power, which is why he asked for a yellow ring to be constructed.
Had Sinestro's plan prevailed, he would've worn the yellow ring into battle with Parallax. The latter wouldn't be able to siphon fear from Sinestro's ring because the yellow ring didn't emit fear, it absorbed it, the same way Parallax does.

Through their mutual hatred of the Guardians, Sinestro and the Weaponers became allies, with the Weaponers offering to help Sinestro gain revenge on the Guardians and the Corps. Creating a yellow power ring for Sinestro to use, the Weaponers sent him back to the "positive matter" universe to seek his revenge.Why did Sinestro choose fear?
He was one of the smartest Lanterns in the universe. And, he knew that even a Guardian was unable to control power of fear. Power of fear was unpredictable unlike power of Will. Initially, he agreed to master power of fear because there wasn't another way in front of him to beat Parallax.Who gave Sinestro his ring?
It has since been revealed that the Guardians were responsible for Sinestro acquiring a Green Lantern ring in an attempt to undermine the Sinestro Corps as part of their future plans to destroy all seven Corps.How does Sinestro charge his ring?
