Yeah, but George takes it too literally, especially in the apparent fact that "Anakin" couldn't come back from the dead, i.e. being redeemed, since the first dead Anakin is now what appears at the end rather than the second dead Anakin. You know, there are just too many freakin' dead Anakins nowadays.
