“ I will love you forever; whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I’ll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again… I’ll be looking for you, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we’ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one’ll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you… We’ll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams… And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won’t just be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we’ll be joined so tight…”

I think the thing I love most about The Last Jedi is how Ben Solo/Kylo Ren’s story feels like a continuation of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in two very important ways.  

1)  If Darth Vader hadn’t died after killing his Master, would he really have been able to turn around and support the Rebels in their cause?  Through the actions of Kylo Ren I think we get our answer… no.  I’m inclined to believe he too would have desired to take control of the Empire, not destroy it.  He chose to save his son, but he did not choose to support his son’s cause.  

2)  What would have been the dynamic between Darth Vader and Padme Amidala if she’d survived after giving birth?  Obviously, she could not have stood by while Darth Vader took over the galaxy, but imagine the sorrow she would have felt having to fight against the man she loves.  We see this question answered through the struggle between Kylo and Rey.  They desire to protect each other, but their opposing views would have kept them at odds.

It really feels like these four characters echo in each other… the same spirit, like a reincarnation finally being allowed to play out to it’s finish.
