      The point isn't to teach us to follow the code of the Jedi; everyone who worked on the series pretty much went with some version of "the Jedi failed, you don't want to be one." The Emperor is never a character who changes or grows, so he's not a candidate for redemption

      The original six movies (and Clone Wars) are an epic about a great hero who has a family who also become great heroes, and they have to take him down. The sequel trilogy is just more about that family and the conflicts they get into

      Anakin's "redemption" is not all that narratively different from Hector's last stand, it's just there to add to the epic drama

      Ben switching sides at the end without really doing anything to atone except indicate he regrets killing his dad is something I've seen a lot of people complain about, but it's totally in line with that sort of epic. And, as I said, with superheroes

      Also, no version of Star Wars asserts that it's the Jedi way to offer everyone redemption at the cost of lives of others; that's just a misconception from how they keep writing the Emperor, who lest we forget is a master gaslighter.

      Anakin was supposed to kill Palpatine according to Lucas, first in Revenge when he failed, then in Return when he succeeded. I'm pretty sure Abrams intends for Rey killing Palpatine (again) to be good, and there was no ambiguity about whether killing Snoke was good

      Obi-Wan doesn't try to Steven Universe Maul in TPM (arguably he does in Rebels, but that's a pretty complex narrative and again not really about redemption so much as shared trauma)

      In fact, only three people have ever done the Steven Universe maneuver in Star Wars: Luke, Han, and Rey. And Rey's the only one who wasn't doing it because it was an immediate family member

      As fun as it is to dunk on Steven Universe the so called "Steven Maneuver" doesn't happen that often on the show either, they just had the misfortune to do a really rushed ending where the whole series got wrapped up that way

      Of the major named bad guys on the show, Lapis didn't really get talked down by empathy, Steven offered her a straight up trade (heal her Gem and give the ocean back) Peridot gets defeated by force and only starts to change *after* being taken as a helpless prisoner

      Jasper is only ever beaten by force and never actually stops hating Steven, even in Steven Universe Future The Rubies are also defeated by force and never come around Aquamarine is never actually defeated Bismuth is defeated by force and only comes around after the fact

          We mainly have two very prominent examples of really powerful boss battles where they're "defeated by empathy", the Cluster and the Diamonds, where they intentionally set it up so they're so powerful they couldn't possibly be defeated by force
