    Good point!

    I really like that in Star Wars there are parallel military and spiritual struggles. The story doesn’t pretend that defeating the Emperor and Vader will resolve the military conflict on it’s own - That’s up to the rebels. They effectively take out the deathstar on their own. And then there’s a separate, parallel struggle between the force users, and it’s ultimately Luke’s resolve and compassion and Anakin’s moment of letting go of his hatred upon seeing his son’s strength in the Light that resolves the struggle.
