Where in the SW movies does forgiveness "come from a higher power"? It only comes from Luke, and only in a personal sense. If you're referring to the fact that Anakin is seen alongside Obi Wan and Yoda at the end, that's a very narrow Christian-theology way of looking at things. There's no indication whatsoever that the Force consciously consigns people to a heaven or a hell, or that an objective heaven or hell even exists outside of individual people's minds, or "allows" dead people to do this or that.

I...didn't say the movie said that? I'm just spit-balling theory for the concept of Jedi Heaven (which really is just shorthand for Anakin getting to kick it in the afterlife with Obi Wan and Yoda) that sabotabby laid out. And yes, it is a very Christian way of seeing it. Because guess what? Lots of people are Christian or had a Christian upbringing. So, it's not out of the realm of possibility for there to be an undercurrent of that type of redemption lurking in the subtext without being blatantly spelled out.

Luke is a Christlike figure symbolically in some ways though. I don't think leisuretime was talking about there being a literal theology, just that we know that Vader's redemptive action and Luke's forgiveness mean we see all three of them in the 'afterlife' at the end.
