#the return of the jedi
I’m starting to think that some fans of star wars don’t understand the rules of attachment when it comes to the jedi.
I’m starting to think you don’t know that it was that attachment Luke had for his father that made Anakin get back to the light. My advice. Watch the great Original Movie Return of Jedi. It will open your mind.
It wasn’t, tho. It was unconditional love, which is definitionally not attachment
Attachment would have been Luke refusing to let Anakin die and doing messed up tgungs to prevent it, or prioritizing saving his father’s life at the expense of innocent people (and since the plan was to blow up the Death Star with Vader on it, that’s not the case either).
My advise: Watch the great Original Movie The Empire Strikes Back. Shows exactly why Attachment and the Inability To Let Go will lead to reckless action that endangers those you love. It will open your mind.
Luke went on the Death Star to prevent Vader tracking him and ruining his friends’ plans, not because of an attachment to Vader.
Luke managed to stop himself from killing Vader in order to save Leia.
Luke managed to accept his friends might die in Emperor’s trap, he managed to respect their decision, to let go of his attachment to them and rather throw down his lightsaber than step away from the light side.
Luke respected Anakin’s request to take off his helmet even though he knew he will die and Luke will lose him. But he lets go and does as Anakin requested because Luke makes it about what Anakin wants.
Anakin was ready to destroy the galaxy to keep Padme. That’s attachment. Luke isn’t ready to go against his father’s single wish to keep him. That’s compassion.
Whole sequence on the Death Star in The Return of the Jedi is Luke managing to let go. And thanks to this… the Jedi return.
I’ve added two new designs to my redbubble shop:
Ampersand Alliance
Ampersand Empire
Get em on lots of things!
Carrie Fisher would wholeheartedly approve of young Leia. I can just imagine pictures of Carrie hugging her!
