On the other hand, the massive rise of enframing and standing reserve is hardly being directed by Yoda and Mace Windu, or even through the Light Side of the Force. Rather the Dark Side has stealthily gained control of the process of enframing without the Jedi knowing it. As Count Dooku confidently informs Obi-Wan, “The Dark Side of the Force has clouded their [the Jedis’] vision, my friend.” The void of darkness is slowly but surely spreading, and extinguishing the Jedis’ power to use the Force. And this applies equally to young Anakin Skywalker, the soon-to-be Darth Vader. With not a little concern about Anakin’s fear of losing his mother, Yoda warns, “Clouded this boy’s future is.” In Heidegger’s terms, this clouding of the Force by the Dark Side is precisely the covering up of being by enframing. Heidegger says, “[Being] can be covered up to such a degree that it is forgotten and the question about it and its meaning altogether omitted.”84 In Anakin’s case, at the very height of his own enframing, this clouding will indeed become “forgetting,” as Luke rightly points out.
