If you're the cause of someone's death, can you ever be forgiven?

[Asking for a friend. Right. ~~Also "causing someone's death" obviously means murder.~~]

I'm not sure it's possible. Maybe that's the way it should be. There has be some justice in the universe.

Yes! It...

I will be contributing to the Light instead of the Dark. If they could rest peacefully, then, what other outcome could I want?

The "Light" and "Dark" huh?

Bit of a morality binary, isn't it?

I speak of the Force; it's the energy and power that surrounds all things. The Light Side creates and protects while the Dark Side destroys or at least causes chaos. I suppose there is a grey area in-between the two sides and maybe that's where we all exist, but we can choose to stand closer to the Light or the Dark.

It's still making it rather obvious which is "good" and "bad", doesn't it?

I assume you were closer to the dark? What could cause such an enlightened individual to go so far?

[ Asked David Blake. A boy who absolutely grew up in the seventies and eighties and raised a child through the early 2000s ]

I was drawn closer to the Dark over time.

Desperation, mostly. Fear. I was tired of having my hands tied and accepting tragedies I felt I could stop or change.

[Padmé dying had been a catalyst, but it was so much more than that.]

I see.

I believe...I understand that motivation. I've experienced such things too. But you...regret what you have done, in the end? You don't see it as an ends to justify the means?

What I wanted...my actions accomplished the opposite. Obviously I went about it wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have interfered at all, but that's hard not to do when you feel like you can.

No, I understand. When there is something you want...sometimes you'll do anything to achieve that goal. Particularly if you are otherwise powerless to change it.
