      ​@@brianstrutter1501nah, he had a true Jedis wisdom and that is WHY he tossed his Saber, signaling the he wouldn't be turned and would rather let himself die than kill his father, a huge act of compassion for his father that no doubt moved the needle for Vader to return to Anakin. Anakin was selfish, but to see his son perform a selfless act for him put a metaphoric crack in his armor. Vader was resigned to his fate but conveyed it in a remorseful way, Luke needed to show him the path to redemption. It was a gambit that Luke knew he would win, because he saw the flicker of light that was the soul of Anakin where Palpatine only saw the tortured soul of Vader. I'm sure Luke hadn't planned for it to escalate to that point going in, but trying to sway Vader with words was getting him nowhere. Once Luke threw his Saber down he knowingly put himself in a situation where the good in his father would HAVE to come through if there was any left.

Padme died in childbirth and when she died, Vader was truly born, when Luke and Leia were born. Luke carries with him, anakin's legacy. Anakin was the chosen one, but did not realize the prophecy by himself, he was only able to with the help of his son. Because Luke was alive, a small piece of anakin's soul was alive as well, which allowed him to come back; if only for a moment at the end.

      Anakin was always a whiny little mama's boy, Luke was raised by his aunt and uncle in a stable environment. Palpatine never had a chance to manipulate Luke, and chances are Luke would have looked up how his mother died after finding out Vader was Anakin. So he would have realized Palpatine manipulated Vader and would have prepared himself to face the Emperor, that's why he seemed so detached when he surrendered to Vader in Return of the Jedi.

    Palpatine had likely experienced visions that would have indicated just how immensely powerful Luke would become and that his power would surpass his own. He may have foreseen a possibility that Luke would not only seek to revive the Jedi Order, but to do so with amendments that would eliminate the previous issues that afflicted it's predecessor, namely the following of Revan's philosophy that having loved ones actually strengthened their connection to the Light Side, contrary to the assertions of other Jedi.
    Ultimately, Luke would use techniques and ideas that would bring the Jedi back more to the way of the original Je D'aii, who learned both light and dark in balance, thus giving them greater power and dominion within the Force, and Palpatine may well have seen some of this and rightly crapped himself at the concept.

    It is known that "Fulcrum", one of the Rebellion's greatest assets, was Ahsoka, the former Padawan of Anakin. While we also know that she was "stuck" in the world between worlds around the time of the Battle of Yavin, as far as I am aware, we do not know when she actually rejoined this reality. (It certainly had to have been near, possibly right after, the Battle of Endor.) In any case, I am curious to know what her thoughts were when she first learned of Luke and his accomplishments; putting the kahosh on Project Stardust (quite succinctly), and the redemption of Anakin, to name the top two.

      Sincerely, Luke being a bitter old man full of regrets, after seeing his life's work destroyed by his own nephew and seeing that despite all sacrifices he and his comrades made to free the galaxy of the Empire, there would still be people inclined to support that dark path, to me is be far more understandable than he still being naive at old age. Much like Yoda and Obi-Wan Luke had to overcome his sorrows and come around his own failures and accept that he was wrong, that he isn't the one meant to keep things moving anymore, that his role was to open the door to the new generation. That is about the only thing Disney got right in my opinion.
      The feat of power Luke showed at the end is astounding, not because he could project a massive force illusion halfway across the galaxy, but the ilussion was powerful enough that even C3PO, a Droid registered Luke's presence in his sensors, as did all the First Order's walkers and ship's sensors. We never seen a Jedi being able to fool a droid's sensors with the Force before. And with that he shot his legend to unbelievable levels, inspiring a new generation of heroes to keep the flame of peace and justice burning.
      But pretty much all the rest of Disney work on the sequels is pure and utter garbage.

    Luke while being assailed by force lighting cries out "Father!"
    This snaps Anakin out of the Emperors Thrall. Suddenly, as if a spell is broken, he's just a normal dad seeing his kid being roasted in front of him. His and his beloved Padmes kid. He suddenly feels that old hurt again that he'd locked away so deep inside and more, what a Father feels for child. Then he does what any real father does when his son is being hurt. He removes the threat. In this case by weathering the storm and casting the Emperor into the abyss.

  • @zlipus
    @zlipus หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The irony of all of this and why I liked luke so much as a character (and absolutely loathed what they did to him in the movies) is that his greatest strength was always his hope. Luke is literally the most hopeful character in the starwars universe. To the point it inspired everyone around him, even his father. Even when everyone around him was telling him otherwise he never gave up on vader. And in the legend books they lean on that even more, with allowing anyone to be trained even if there was a risk of them turning to the darkside and causing harm later. There was always that hope that him and people around him could over come it. The movie idea of him giving up on a student and even entertaining the possibility of killing him was absolutely ludicrous. And probably the biggest sign that no one who wrote these movies so much as even picked up a starwars EU comic, let along a novel.

    Good vid, and of course the emperor was fearful of Luke for all his goading to be "struck down" and trying to get Luke to kill him, the fact he couldn't spend twenty years poisoning his mind and prodding him made the unknown element of Luke so much more terrifying. Adding on that Ben and Yoda trained him added to that fear, and probably had Palpatine fuming over their survival.

    There is another aspect at play here, and that is that Luke was absolutely _NOT_ a conventional Jedi. Either Yoda or Obi-Wan taught Luke to "force-choke", or Luke learned it on his own, but he used it against the piggy-guards in R.O.T.J. in Jabba's palace. On the one hand, it meant that maybe Luke had a foot in "the dark side", but more likely, it meant that Luke had already been confronted with his dark-side 'test', and had already made his decision. It meant that he would probably not fail it on the second time, either.

Sidious was blindsided by his own overconfidence and which became his ultimate weakness. Exploit that overconfidence to your advantage and that will be their greatest weakness and Sidious learned that the hard way. I wish Disney decided to go with the Star Wars Legends material in making the sequel trilogy and decided to have Ray in the far future facing Darth Krate.

    I haven't dug too deep into EU but on accident or on purpose, it seemed like Luke also took on the will of Qui-Gon. By Return of the Jedi it looked he was following the will of the force and eventually redeemed Vader as Qui-Gon could have saved him, before the fall, had he lived. Which makes the treatment of Luke in the sequels even worse.
