Very nice! I don't know a lot about tarot cards, but from your descriptions I especially like the match on the last two.
Been awhile.... Swords Swords are the element of Air, and the direction East. They represent pure mind, thinking, speaking. Best known for representing problems and troubles especially those relating to communications or bad press, but really about anything to do with either words and/or thoughts. Brilliant thoughts as well as nightmares; sharp ideas or a sharp tongue. This is the card of scientists and analysts of thinking things though or thinking/saying too much. Ideas breeze into your mind, words are given breath, written letters and messages fly on the wind.
Ace of Swords The mind awakening for new challenges. This usually indicates that the person's mind is feeling sharper, clearer. They want to talk, discuss, or write. The breeze stirs through the trees and the fledgling thinks of trying out its newly feathered wings. The sword is lifted, and it's time to test its edge. Luke receiving his father's lightsaber is the Ace. Just by talking with Obi-Wan, he is cutting through his uncle's lies about his father's past, even while Obi-Wan isn't entirely truthful. Luke is ready to learn about part of himself he never knew existed, his connection to the Force, and engage in a new world of learning.
I went and fixed all the broken image links, so I suppose I should continue. Two of Swords Crossed swords suggest a clash of ideas or words. The blindfolded lady, indicating impartiality, cannot uncross the swords, but she keeps them still. This is the knowledge of how to compromise, keep these two sides in balance and at peace. But this is temporary; it won't last. Luke with the blast shield down is in the process of learning about the Force, even as he is leaving behind the life he knew. Han Solo’s snarky comments aren’t helping, but Luke must find a way through while remembering that his eyes can deceive him if he over-intellectualizes things.
Three of Swords What sharp words or cutting ideas have created here, not surprisingly, is pain and heartbreak. Hurtful words, ideas or thoughts are exchanged or explored. Luke’s vision in the Dagobah cave is the Three of Swords. He has distressing information, but is unsure what to do with it, or what it even means. It will be a little while before it plays out, and he must remember that
Four of Swords A young man rests on a pallet, three swords above, one under him. This is the "meditation" card. The card advises retreat, rest, and recuperation after mental or emotional stress, arguments, misunderstandings or verbal abuse, an illness or injury. A healing retreat is needed, time to clear the head, heart and soul, or just fix a damaged body. Darth Vader in his meditation chamber fits well here. He is in constant need of rest, as his body and souls are permanently damaged. Here is the only place he can safely remove part of his helmet, where he can get away from the demands of the Empire, at least for a little while.
Five of Swords In arguments and battles of ideas there are going to be times when one just loses or has to surrender. The worst of these is when the winner is an awful person, a bully, braggart, a cheat, someone who used an unfair advantage to win. But it happens. Lando leads his friends to the "betrayal dinner" where Vader and Boba Fett are waiting. There’s nothing to be done; Lando couldn’t do anything, and now neither can Han and Leia. Now they are just another set of pawns as Vader baits Luke with them.
