#the wound can oniy be healed by the lance that dealt it

[corseque]

I just keep thinking about Palpatine, who had destroyed the Skywalker matriarch and patriarch by manipulating Anakin’s fear of his wife’s death and loss... he told Anakin he knew a way to live forever, and a way to keep Padme alive forever. Anakin believed him, put faith in something other than love, and they both were banished into death, and the galaxy was thrown into turmoil in sympathy.

They will finally learn, after so many years—they will learn that true immortality in myth is gained only through the resurrective boon of love. They, resurrected and alive again in mythical love, will face him again and prove it. He has false life, an evil shadow of the soul. They have learned the true Force that is the love between things. Then he will face a true death while they rise in perfect triumph, perfected and balanced, consummate heroes. I cannot believe this is the story, it’s so overwhelming thinking about it.
