Very well said! I guess in my ST reedit I’m hoping to funnel some of this discussion down into Ben’s character arc. Maybe he hears Force-ghosts expressing exactly the ideas in this thread.

act on instinct said:

In that vein it should also be noted that Star Wars has a lot to say about personal choice vs destiny, the ultimate evil character The Emperor is the one to proclaim “everything is as I have forseen” while Yoda is one to say “always in motion is the future” showing their differences in predestination. Anakin is given a choice and is specifically told he must choose and chooses the dark side (out of fear), Luke also makes a choice to reject that path. It’s there the morals about agency are very intentional, if somewhat muddled.
