Pathological fear of losing padme5/20/2023 ![]() He’s being succumbed by his emotional feelings for his friends rather than the practical feelings of 'I’ve got to get this job done before I can actually save them. "It’s pivotal that Luke doesn’t have patience. You can protect others if you are able, but you must "accept that they have a fate." That's why Lucas is very clear that Luke fails in TESB when he goes to Cloud City motivated by fear of losing his friends: He says "you must be clean of fear," period. Notice how he doesn't differentiate between good fear of loss and bad fear of loss. That’s the basic premise of Star Wars and the Jedi, and how it works." If you’re set up for fear of loss, you will do anything to keep that loss from happening, and you’re going to end up in the dark side. You must be clean of fear, and fear of loss is the greatest fear. You’re doing it because you don’t want to give them up. "In mythology, if you go to Hades to get them back you’re not doing it for them, you’re doing it for yourself. Protect them with your lightsaber, but if they die they were going to die, there’s nothing you can do. Even those you love most are going to die. You can love people, but you can’t want to possess them. " do not grow attachments, because attachment is a path to the dark side. Yoda must learn to let go of all these things. Second, he is tempted by visions of all the people and things that he's lost, returned to life and good order, but he rejects the temptation. First, Yoda confronts and faces his fear, represented by the shadow version of himself, and after recognizing and acknowledging it, he is able to let go of it it disintegrates and drifts away (which I guess you either missed or forgot). The TCW episodes are saying the same thing. QUI-GON: (V.O.) You will learn to let go of everything. Here's what Qui-Gon says Yoda must do to become a Force ghost in the script for ROTS: You completely misinterpreted the three trials, especially since the very first one dealt with accepting your fears and emotions as a natural part of you. Yeah, I watched that arc, and you don't need to let go of all you fear to lose to become a Force Spirit. There is no such thing a "selfless fear of loss." You're just playing word games and redefining terms in non-intuitive ways for no good reason. There is a stark difference between wanting Padme to stay alive when fearing her death, and fearing that he'd never make things right and deserve the respect and love of his son. What Lucas is talking about there is a selfish fear or loss, not a selfless one. He has completely overcome his fear of loss, and that's what opens his heart to unconditional love.ĭude, people aren't black and white, there is always more than one reason for a decision. He's intentionally throwing away everything that he has in order to save Luke, because he has compassion for him. He knows he's throwing away his life and that he won't get to be with Luke (he doesn't know he's going to become a ghost, which isn't the same thing anyway). Rinzler, The Making of Revenge of the SithĪnakin doesn't save Luke because he's afraid of losing him. He takes the ounce of good still left in him and destroys the Emperor out of compassion for his son." Anakin was the chosen one, and he does bring balance to the Force. The thing of it is: The prophecy was right. I broke his mother's heart, but he still cares about me, and I can't let that die. And I'm doing it because he has faith in me he loves me despite all the horrible things I've done. I will throw away everything that I have, everything that I've grown to love - primarily the Emperor - and throw away my life, to save this person. The end of the saga is simply Anakin saying, I care about this person, regardless of what it means to me. He doesn't right the wrongs, but he stops the horror. Anakin can't be redeemed for all the pain and suffering he's caused. "It really has to do with learning," Lucas says. ||| Join our Discord! ||| Question?
