Maul's dying words being "he [Luke] will avenge us" vs. Trilla dying words as "avenge us" like BROOOOOOOO
No but like their lives and perspectives as dark side users being so centered around pain and hurting others that OF COURSE their "unfinished business" is for someone else to bring pain unto those who hurt them but NO!
Like Luke isn't about that! He tried to be in avenging his father but it didn't lead to anything other than pain and suffering (his hand, esb reveal) and really realized himself as a person and jedi when he focused on helping people in situations like Maul's and the inquisitors in the form of Vader, etc.
Like he's about HEALING. not about taking out vengeance for those harmed by the dark side but about saving them and helping them change and grow. AND making a better future in so that what happened to them wouldn't happen again!
Because like Luke never "avenged" Maul or any of the others like him. That, while what they believe they want, wouldn't end up bringing them peace, it would just continue the cycle. Honestly I don't think even Vader avenged any of these people. Like MAYBE Maul's spirit could have taken some satisfaction over Vader killing Palpatine but like the Inquisitorious???? Hell nah! Bc like VADER was their monster, not Palpatine (as seen with ppl like Reva)
Just AAAGGGHHH
So like with their dying breath these hurt people who became people who hurt others asked for vengeance, they asked for more violence begetting violence, which of course, would have just led to more pain and suffering for everyone, and more hurt back on them as well. But like Luke stopped the cycle. He changed that by letting it die with Vader and Palpatine, by refusing to continue hurting others in exchange for the hurt done to others. Like something about Luke I think a lot of people (cough, Disney, cough) don't understand is that by the end of RotJ, he's realized his purpose in healing and rebuilding. Like in that movie, the old guard is taken out of the picture, Leia kills Jabba, the Sith take each other out, etc. Like it leaves space for something new in the galaxy, for rebuilding and for new, just, systems to be built in the first place. It's healing, from not just decades, but CENTURIES of abuse and pain.
Revenge isn't what's needed or what people like Maul, Trilla, Reva, and hell, even Barriss (as much as that writing was shit) desire, it's closure, and the ending of the cycle that caused them so much pain in the first place. That's what Luke does.
#god that got long#just some rambles abt twin suns and luke in relation to those dark side users that came before#like he cant avenge all these people because they all hurt each other and were hurt in turn#but what he CAN do is let the hurt end there and keep it from continuing on in that cycle#fuuuuuccckkkk#okay so like also in this episode (sorry just watched twin suns for the 1st time) obi wan calls luke the chosen one which like ?????? what.#kind of came out of nowhere but like okay. anakin brings balance to the force. this is known like this is a known fact like he did that#but EZRA. EZRA asks the holocrons to show him how to destroy the sith. they say twin suns is the answer. tattoine. its the answer to both#questions. bc tattoine has obi wan and it has luke! like luke destroys the sith by ending a cycle of pain and suffering millenia long#like THATS his role in this! which like we've never seen the chosen one prephecy but there is the interpretation that the chosen one will#destroy the sith which like. luke. luke did that#anyways ive always been of the opinion that the ''prophecy'' (which isnt my fave lol but its canon tho so) isnt just about anakin#like its anakin but its also what he brought to the galaxy: its also luke and leia#like anakin>>>>brings balance to the force ig even if its in his scorched earth to build anew methodology or w/ever#luke>>>>destroys the sith by ending the circle of violence#and leia>>>>> brings peace to the galaxy by being awesome and all leia-like. also like w the rebellion and the govt n such#anyways some VERY disorganized ramblings that popped up after watching maul in rebels#meta#sw meta#sw#star wars#long post#darth maul#luke skywalker
