Im not even gonna lie..if they replaced crusty ol’ palpy with MAUL in TROS I would have been completely okay with that

Like no explanation needed for how he’s back

I’d just accept it

I might’ve definitely would’ve even cheered him on

"The Force healing shown in Rise of Skywalker ruins Anakin's motivation to turn to the dark side in Revenge of the Sith because if the Jedi just taught him that he could have saved Padme!"

Well aside from the fact that you're misunderstanding how Force healing is presented in ROS (and mandalorian, where it actually first showed up), this also misses the point of Revenge of the Sith:

Anakin did not need Force healing, he never did

Padme was only dying because ANAKIN FUCKING STRANGLED HER!!

Anakin did not turn to the dark side because Padme died, he turned because he was afraid of her dying because he couldn't let go, being able to keep Padme from dying means nothing when Anakin is the one who murdered her, if Anakin had done nothing Padme would have lived, she wasn't dying, his dream was not a warning of Padme dying, it was a warning about the consequences of his own actions

That is the tragedy that is Revenge of the Sith, it was all entirely avoidable

As for Force healing in Rise of Skywalker (and mandalorian), it operates entirely on an "equivalent exchange" premise, in order to heal someone else, you have to give some of yourself, so no it doesn't ruin Anakin's motivation to turn to the dark side, if anything, it actually EMPHASIZES how stupid and selfish Anakin was, as even if Padme was dying (again, she wasn't), Anakin could have saved her simply by giving his own life energy, but because Anakin is selfish, that possibility doesn't cross his mind

Anakin doesn't want Padme to live because he loves her or because as a Jedi it's his duty to protect and save lives, Anakin wants to save Padme because he's possessive of her, he doesn't want her to die for his own sake

So to save Padme from death (if she was actually dying, which she wasn't), Anakin would have needed to be willing to give up some of himself, maybe even completely, sacrifice his life so that Padme could live, as is what Ben Solo does for Rey (there's a lot about his redemption that is poorly done, but literally giving his life to bring back someone else-a better person than him, someone who can make the galaxy a better place-isn't one of em, it is in fact a very Jedi thing to do)

So really, Force Healing in ROS only "breaks" Anakin's turn in ROTS in the sense that it shows that Anakin had other options, but he just chose the most immoral one because he refused to consider other options or that there was more to his vision than what it seemed

"I think I have grown, I have aged, I am more comfortable in myself, I suppose, than I was in my early twenties— because early twenties there's a lot going on; we're all just trying to figure out who we are. So I don't think I have [changed], but I must have. I would hope that I have, honestly, in ten years I would hope that I have. I would hope that every job I've done I've become better. I feel like I'm, over the last few years— again, I suppose, in a way where you just feel a little bit more comfortable in your own skin — I feel like I'm more cognizant of my choices. And I was always very empowered by my agent, always. And I think over the last few years the stuff I've got to do has been really cool and interesting. But I feel like I've always strived for my own best I suppose is the best way of saying it. I've always strived for that. And I'm always curious and I'm always open. And I think honestly at the root of it I just f*cking love film. I love films, I love performances. It always has been so exciting to me about embarking on a new thing, and terrifying, too. But what something can be and the people you're going to meet and the actors you get to work with and the directors you get to work with, it feels like an ever expanding thing. And so I suppose in that way my acting world feels bigger and bigger and bigger each job I do." —for Backstage, about looking back over the 10 years since The Force Awakens premiered

Happy Birthday Daisy Ridley!
