Did Darth Vader go to heaven? Remember at the end of Star Wars when we saw Darth Vader appear as Anakin Skywalker, dressed as a glowing white Jedi? Despite every evil thing that Darth Vader did at the very end he repented and he was forgiven. As a culture we loved that. Stories of redemption are very much rooted in the Christian tradition. I don’t think any Christian can credibly argue that Jeffrey Dahmer isn’t in heaven, assuming his conversion was real and heartfelt.
