Got your attention, huh?

Well, this isn't anything to write home about BUT... I had a revelation when typing a response to someone about an issue here at work and another to describe my daughter's eyes last night when they turned the color of A/DV's ....

ANYWAY!

I have always been quoted here as saying that the Jedi freed Anakin from slavery and that Palpatine brought him right back into the Slave role as his #2 guy.

As I was typing the above referenced responses, and thinking about Anakin's March on the Jedi Temple, I thought..... he was never really free now, was he?

These last couple of years I have been blind. Blind to the fact that the Jedi Order is indeed another form of slavery. Just, instead of being a slave to one person as a Sith or as a small boy on Tatooine, they are slaves to the ideals of the Jedi ways.

They are told what to do, how to do it, what to study, what they have to give up, what they have to let go of .... in order to be a true Jedi.

It's proposterous!

So, now I am questioning whether or not Anakin was ever really free during his lifetime or if he was born and lived as a slave.

Was Anakin finally tired of being a slave all his life when he threw Palpatine over the railing?

Perhaps it wasn't until he died that he was truly freed.

Rambling thoughts, I know. Still.... it was a revelation, I swear!

I am looking forward to this conversation....
