It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

No. Anakin is the chosen one, and he's the one who kills the emperor. His final redemption brings the force back into balance by making a grand sacrifice to let go of his own selfish desires and save his son.
Good point!
I really like that in Star Wars there are parallel military and spiritual struggles. The story doesn't pretend that defeating the Emperor and Vader will resolve the military conflict on it's own - That's up to the rebels. They effectively take out the deathstar on their own. And then there's a separate, parallel struggle between the force users, and it's ultimately Luke's resolve and compassion and Anakin's moment of letting go of his hatred upon seeing his son's strength in the Light that resolves the struggle.
