Plot twist: they're actually right. They hint at Luke almost falling, and Anakin's redemption.

Double plot twist: it is actually depicting the internal struggle of Anakin/Vader.

That... actually makes sense.

Luke is so close to turning during their battle, and Vader so close to redemption.

Vader is redeemed in the end, specifically by his love for his son.

Anakin is the chosen one, the one to restore balance the the force.

But Luke is the one to restore balance to his father.

I like that ! But personally don’t agree That is where the title of episode VI comes from, the reference of the movie is to Luke being the Last of the Jedi.

They’ve definitely retconned that, without using spoilers, to be untrue but from what I’ve read about the original trilogy GL definitely meant Luke, with that title

I was wondering if it was some kind of foreshadowing but I thought that might be a little too deep for a movie poster haha

Not too deep for a poster of that time. It was how I interpreted the poster, which I have also had since it first was sold. Luke and Vader were waging war within themselves.
