    As someone who has seen Star Wars, this is hilarious because it honestly makes a ton more sense than the shit that actually ended up on screen.

        Like if you don’t consciously decide to keep staying alive, it’ll suddenly stop happening.

          Interestingly enough there is an actual medical condition colloquially called broken heart syndrome, where the phrase is physiologically literal, and increases the person’s mortality rate. It partly explains why long lived partners die within months of each other; the surviving partner afflicted with the condition.

          What’s more interesting is how the medical paper that makes the condition well known in the west came out in 2005, the same year as ROTS.
