And also about accepting that you dont have the power to hold absolute control over things. Lucas constantly talks about greed and about anakins want to hold on to things and money of course is the ultimate contemporary symbol of this concept. You can't be a multi-billion-dollar empire head with teams and teams of lawyers and accountants and secretaries and workers and honestly talk about this stuff as a form of preaching. Its not necessarily Lucas' fault either, its just the way he ended up.

You can read this type of stuff both ways when it comes to the OOT. It can be said to accept the SE but it can also be said that the OOT never should have been changed. Ultimately that kind of "no possessiveness" is not a practical life creed but more of a mental philosophy. Its at odds with human nature and doesn't really work in life.

But whatever. I know that this type of thing is only valuable in the dramatic sense for a story, ie the PT.
