That's part of the paradox here, because to get all mad at Anakin like his nature isn't also part of the will of the Force the way Obi-Wan did is itself to be a bad Jedi

I mean, that's not necessarily true either, that's assuming a perspective of absolute predestination

Anakin falls because he is going in contrast to what the Force wanted him to do and following the Dark Side instead. This isn't a very foreign concept.

so I guess the notion of free will just takes it full in the ass, you either obey the force or get ruined, yeah this is a power we should cower before instead of destroying the universe

The fun thing about determinism is you can do whatever you want, because the ONLY thing you can do is whatever you want You hating the Force and wanting to destroy it is, itself, the will of the Force

Of all things I think the thing that really got me to grok this in all its majestic horror was a Greg the Bunny sketch The one where they tell Greg he's not real but a puppet

Which causes him an existential crisis, which they tell him is also not real "No, see, you're a character, you're being played by a guy named Dan, he's just making you say these things because literally two minutes ago we were saying this would be a fun meta joke"

He's like struggling to free himself from Dan's influence and they're like "No, you don't understand, you aren't actually struggling against Dan because that's impossible, Dan is just making you say that in order to continue the bit"
