we would be honored if you would join us hey everyone in
today's video we're going to take another piece
out of the secrets of the jedi book or as you formally know
the series that i call luke's point of view this one's going to be short and
sweet it's a little bit interesting i find because it talks about
luke and his point of view of not just vader and not just anakin
but anakin with invader and what really kept him to pursue
this belief that he could bring his father outside of the darkness
that is vader this really makes me think of that scene in return of the jedi so
this is what i think luke is really talking back towards or reminiscing
which is that scene when vader just captures luke and he's about
to bring him aboard the second death star
to the emperor so there's two parts to this and i'm gonna read the first but
the second part is really the one that we want
is called balance to the force and i'll announce it when we get to it so here we
go a hard lesson i rushed off to play hero
believing myself ready to face darth vader on my own
that was the day i learned vader was my father and it was the day i lost my hand
as well as my lightsaber in battle against him on bespin
i was lucky i didn't pay for my hubris with my life though the wounds ran deep
i soon learned that lightsabers and even hands
could be rebuilt as it turned out so could death stars
and as the empire prepared to use their new battle station to eliminate
the rebel alliance once and for all i found myself contemplating the journey
my father had taken to the dark side balance to the force so
this is the one we really want to focus on
and before that i find that pretty interesting as well
because it talks a lot about how luke basically cut his training short and he
knew that he did that and point blank says that he was lucky
that he didn't die for his own arrogance for his own hubris which is the main
reason that darth maul lost obi-wan in the phantom menace it
was his arrogance and his cockiness that made him believe he could win
if he just toyed with his prey or you know it just wasn't going to be a big
deal but of course that turned into his death and with luke
his father was merely toying with him as well no matter how far my father had
fallen i sensed that his turn to the dark side was not absolute
i knew anakin skywalker had followed his heart to a fault during his days as a
jedi our ultimate victory would rely on my belief that the same heart was still
beating somewhere inside darth vader's armor the emperor tried to sway me to
his side and when that didn't work he tried to
kill me but at that moment my father turned against his own master
to protect his son his final act was to hurl the emperor to
his death not only redeeming himself but also
finally restoring balance to the force as the
prophecy had foretold now the main thing you can
probably guess that i really like about this
is that luke confirms that anakin was the chosen one and that he did fulfill
the prophecy as was foretold what i really like about this as well
is that it shows just how much hope luke has
and it shows that no matter what no matter how evil vader was you know
killing children order 66 everything that he did luke
could feel the rage and anger within him and yet
still chose to believe that there was a little bit of anakin
breathing inside of him he says that our ultimate victory would rely
on my belief that the same heart was still beating somewhere inside darth
vader's armor and it also goes to mention
that luke knows that anakin followed his heart to a fault during his days as a
jedi so it even kind of emphasizes the fact that
anakin wasn't really all that he did evil
things but he wasn't evil to the core he was merely following his heart and
sometimes we just follow the wrong path but at the end of the day he followed
that same heart to the right path and saved his son fulfilling the
prophecy as the chosen one hope you enjoyed this canon video
