For all his faults, anakin’s spiritual redemption is one thing George got absolutely right (in spite of pushback it seems) and I would HATE to see that screwed with in the sequels. Anakin’s ghost should not be conflicted because he changed in his heart and turned away from the dark side forever in that moment.
Again, if George chose to not include Anakin in the celebration scene he could have conveyed that exact same message but in a more realistic way. Him not showing up doesn’t mean he hasn’t turned away from the Dark Side; it would mean that his past has changed him in a way that requires more than a spark to bring about great change. I feel you though…
