Indeed. If I'd wanted to put in just any old line from Liam's body of work, I'd have inserted "We're going to have sex in every room, including yours" or maybe "It's mine, ain't it? I can take a piss on the back yard if I want to." (For anybody wanting to scour Liam's body of work for more lines, don't waste your time with Suspect.

)

But instead I did try to actually reconstruct Lucas' plot point as best as possible. The result resonates though Ben and Yoda's deaths, all the way to the end of ROTJ. If a Jedi cannot forgive oneself for what he sees as his greatest mistakes, he cannot become one with the Force and still retain his consciousness. But if you can forgive yourself in spite of the atrocities of your past (Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin all had them) then you may live on in the afterlife.

The whole tone becomes about forgiveness. And that is a POWERFUL message for any story.
