And that would totally work just fine for the entire galaxy?
I'll put it another way. Let's say there's a powerful and cruel tyrant that has command of all the grain fields across a land that uses grain as its staple crop and its primary source of food.
One day, someone who really hates that powerful and cruel tyrant orchestrates an elaborate rebellion, its forces consisting of irate farmers that used to harvest grain for the tyrant.
Then, the real master plan goes into motion, that someone starts murdering their own fellow rebellious farmers by setting the grain fields on fire and making sure to destroy each and every possible vestige that might grow back. Ostensibly, it's because the tyrant benefits from people needing grain, but lots of those farmers are killed in the massive grain field fires that keep spreading and spreading.
One person doesn't need that grain to survive; they forage.
You're saying burning all the grain is cool and good and destroying everyone's ability to ever grow grain again is cool and good because the tyrant used it as a basis for their power. And you're saying that all the people burned to death in the grain fields had it coming because they were still dependent on the grain. And the implication is foraging will totally work for absolutely everyone left that wasn't already killed in the grain fires.
You don't speak for me, and neither does Kreia. You can solipsistically say I'd be a slave to the Force (unlike you or unlike Kreia, which already has holes in it considering Kreia was still driven by negative fixation agianst the Force, still driven by its presence and reacting to it) and maybe you'd say if Kreia killed me too that was all part of her oh so heroic plan. And that's not cool to me.
