    All the clone wars things is Palpatine manipulating Anakin on his weakness. And attachment was A BIG PART OF IT.

    Better rewatch it one more time.

    I'm not arguing that attachment can be a bad thing. Yes, Anakin was too attached to Padme, and this is one way Palpatine manipulated him. But this is one case, and I think Luke is wiser and more in control than Anakin was. Were he to be in a romance, I think he would be a bit more level-headed. My two cents...

    Did you see ep V ? When Yoda said to Luke that his attachment to his friends could be the reason of his fall ? That it was his weakness ?

    Why would Luke doesn't apply the jedi code when he started a JEDI academy ?

    I'm not denying that attachment can be a bad thing. I'm just saying it is not necessarily bad. It even says at the beginning of that video, 'Attachment is not compassion'. Compassion is the least evil thing there is...

    Surely Luke doesn't have to follow every Jedi teaching, I don't see what is so immoral about having a wife.. In the real world, some religions consider it immoral not to be married...

    Jedi is not a religion, it's a timeless way to find the light.

    When you are the last one, you don't have rights, you have responsabilities. That's it.

    I have agreed to disagree wth the baby girl crew for a while but I'm still surprised how elastic is the jedi code for some people.

    What about changing the code about jedis no more seeking peace but want to make war everywhere ?

    It could be fun and you know, the jedi code ... Luke doesn't care, he's the last ...

    You are aware that Luke's love for his Father is what destroyed the Sith right...

    No it was his decision to not to fight and the feeling that there were still good in him.

    You don't love a dude you only met once and cut your hand on that occasion.

    Nope, he knew there was still good in his Father because he cared for him. Vader in turn saved his son out of love. Love defeated the Sith plain and simple, or do you not think that there was familial affection in the last exchange between Luke and his Father?

    My view is that was more a moral thing from an orphant. You build love through time, it's not given. Some people have much more love for their adoptive parents than their real one.

    The Anakin's story is plagued with major plot holes.

    While I agree to certain degree, it still seems natural that a Son would want to redeem his Father, as well as have a relationship with and get to know his Father. Luke wanted these things with his Father Anakin, his whole view on striking Vader down changed after he discovered he was his Father. Think about growing up never knowing your Father but then getting the chance somewhere down the line, most people would want to know their Father and build a relationship with him, out of love.

    Can a person love someone as much if they have just met them? Of course not, but it is one of the most natural things in the world to want to have a relationship with one's family. For instance, I'll use a personal example. I have never been a baby person, I have nothing against babies, but I get no personal enjoyment out of holding someone else's baby. But about a year ago my Niece was born, I honestly knew that I would care about her because she was family, but I wasn't prepared for the rush of emotion that I felt upon seeing and holding her for the first time. I had honestly never felt anything like it, the instant attachment and protectiveness that I felt toward her. To this day I like to hold and play with my baby niece, and I've grown to care for her more over time, but the bond that I felt encountering her the first time was instant and completely natural. That is the strength of blood ties in one's family.

    What you've said about children growing more attached to their adoptive parents is true, but it is also true that many children, even if they love their adoptive parents, want to find out about their real parents as well as have a relationship of some sort with them. Family is one of the strongest forces around, and it makes sense that the love between family members is what would finally bring an end to the Sith.

    I absolutely do agree with you but it was much more about symbolism of the Father / Son than real events in the movie.

    After all, Vader killing Sheev was just another sith killing his master.

    To a degree, but love definitely played a part. Vader killing Sidious was completely different than just any Sith killing his master as well, being as how the motives were entirely different. A Sith normally kills his master because he is usurping his position and place of power, Vader killed Sidious because he couldn't stand to watch his own Son be murdered in front of his eyes.

    Luke doesn't have to have a wife, I think the speculation is fueled by the fact that he had one in the EU, and obviously the fact that many fans think Rey is his daughter. As for Han and Leia, yes, they were married, the Visual Dictionary confirms it, and I'm sure its probably confirmed elsewhere too.

    Edit

    I see Magnar just said pretty much the same thing.

    Ok, thank you. I was unaware of the visual dictionary, and it sounds like we're on the same page as far as Luke. Thanks for the info!
