Reincarnation

In fact, who brought Anakin into the darkness more than 20 years ago also made him redeemed more than 20 years later. Anger and jealousy are because of fear of losing, fear of losing because of concern, and concern because of love in the heart.
But as a mortal's eros, it is incompatible with his identity as a Jedi warrior.
In fact, what made Anakin distorted was not so much the temptation of the Sith, but the fear of loss, as the identity of the Jedi Knight itself.
As Jedi knights, we need to be compassionate and undifferentiated lovers, but their "unconditional love" method is force. This is a paradox in itself. Because once the goal of destroying a group of people is to maintain peace, that group of people will be automatically excluded from the people they want to love, and there can be no "unconditional" love. Jedi warriors call themselves absolute justice, but within this doctrine, there is a danger of evil in the name of justice. So later, when the Jedi Presbyterian Church asked Anakin to monitor the Speaker, and when the temperature decided not to go through the procedure to directly remove the Speaker, his unreliable belief in the Jedi creed almost collapsed.
What is even more frightening is that they cannot have personal family and marriage fetters while pursuing sentient beings. Generally speaking, "old and old, and people; young and young, and people" is a more conventional trajectory, but the Jedi requires no parental bondage, no bondage of love, no bondage of family... It's like taking time out of the middle channel and letting you love those tragic sentient beings you haven't even seen before. Traditionally, the training method of Jedi knights is to discover potential intensive training when children have no idea about those bonds. But Anakin was nine years old when he really started training. Attachment has already formed, but it will be cut off suddenly at this time. The fear of losing (his mother) that has been gained, the desire to gain (eldest sister Padmé) that has not been gained, for For Jedi knights who need a pure heart, these are dangerous. Later, he was used by the Sith, and it was indeed largely because of too much affection.
What is even more frightening is that the group of Jedi knights around him should have been trained in the traditional way. These old bachelors may never know what it is like to dream about their mother and big sister. The only Kui Gang Jin who cared for him like a father died and burned when he was still in the first film. Obi-Wan is not much older than him, unable and perhaps unwilling to take on the responsibility of his father. So in the fierce adolescence, Anakin lacked psychological counseling and became more rebellious. In addition, the Presbyterian Church has always distrusted him, so Anakin, who was extended in the second phase, fell into the whirlpool of "you are all bad people, and you are all bad to me". Because of being in this state for a long time, sometimes anger will swallow up reason, so when he thinks Padmé betrayed him, he will almost choke his wife to death.
In the Jedi Knights circle, he couldn’t gain trust, and the depression in his heart couldn’t be smoothed out. In addition, Speaker Palpatine, who had always observed him, stretched out his hand at this time, telling him a story in a fatherly manner and saying he wanted to help. He can imagine which side he is going to lean on.
More than 20 years ago, Obi-Wan asked Padmé to help him deal with Anakin. More than 20 years later, he also tricked Luke into waving a lamp at his father in the name of justice. Anakin thought the Jedi Knights were evil more than 20 years ago, and still thinks so more than 20 years later. In fact, for him, justice and evil are second. He should think that force can solve the problem. He told his wife more than 20 years ago that we should kill the emperor. Let's rule the galaxy by ourselves... In fact, for so many years, we have changed looks and status. The Anakin who slaughtered the desert people and Darth Vader who blew up his daughter-in-law were really alone.
Luckily for Luke, he was nineteen years old when he met Obi-Wan. Although he had lived with his uncle and aunt instead of his parents, they had taken on the role of parents quite well. And it seems that Luke has also passed the most turbulent rebellious stage (if he has ever had this stage). Although he would be dissatisfied with his uncle, he was really a good boy compared to his father. At this time, Obi-Wan had the experience of teaching an apprentice badly, and he was more stable in Luke’s education, and he was more...fortunately...fortunately, he died early, and the first film was taken by Das. Vader (also known as Anakin, of course) was killed and became translucent. Then Luke turned to follow Master Yoda, who was more experienced in teaching his apprentices. At this time, these two Jedi Knights died, and there was no presbytery. There was no power issue. Luke was simply leveling. In addition, he didn't fall in love with anyone (the only female of the right age is his sister), and there is no problem of "saving nature and destroying human desires". This is another great fortune.
Compared to his father who was always mature when he shouldn't be mature, and rebellious when he shouldn't be rebellious, he can only say that Luke's life is really good.
In fact, "Star Wars" is of great practical and educational significance. It tells us how important youth education is.
But Luke still encountered a similar predicament as his dad. In the third part of the main story, the emperor (that is, Speaker Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidi) wanted to pull him into the group and let him watch his friends get killed by the imperial army one by one. Sure enough, it aroused Luke's anger, and even cut off his right hand when he was fighting with him, of course it was a prosthetic hand. So Luke looked at his prosthetic hand, maybe a little shaken, and felt that he was going to repeat the fate of his father. But he resisted the test at the last moment and didn't kill the old man himself. The result was a burst of abuse by the emperor. After watching his son being abused and hearing "Dad, save me", Anakin resolutely chose to save his son and threw the emperor away. Although he exploded his daughter's mother star, chopped off his son's right hand and frozen his son-in-law, he was indeed a good father.
When we look back at the process of Anakin's fall, it is because there is love in our heart, so we are concerned, and because we are concerned, we are afraid of losing. Because of fear of losing... What is leading here is not anger and jealousy, but Luke's mercy, Anakin's self-sacrifice to save others.
This is a reincarnation, with success, destruction, victory, and defeat.
Anakin finally said that he still has a conscience, not because he still believes in justice, but because he still has concerns in his heart, and this concern is actually only his son (and perhaps a daughter). This concern is not allowed by the Jedi Knights.
Luke finally completed his mission because he always believed in his father, and this trust was not given to Anakin by the Jedi.
In fact, at this time, it has nothing to do with the so-called "justice" and "evil".
So whether it is depravity or redemption, it is actually just because Anakin is a "human", and human feelings are neither perfect nor incurable.
Just like he said when he first came out.
"I am a man, my name is Anakin."
