No, it was all in Ben's imagination, he was forgiving himself for murdering his father and thereby allowing himself to embrace the Light Side of the Force. WELL *I* HAVEN'T FORGIVE YOU, YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF MASKED EMO SHIT!!! KILLING HAN SOLO IS FOREVER UNFORGIVEABLE AND I SNEERED AT THAT SCENE!!!!!!
And that's the problem with making these films with no overall plan. They tried to make Darth Emo there into the Sci-Fi Severus Snape, a complelling character who seems to be a bad guy one minute and then a good guy and then a REALLY bad guy and then who knows... The thing is, J.K. Rowling made it work by meticulously plotting out Snape's actions and correctly anticipating the audience's reaction to each plot twist, and if they'd done the same with Darth Emo it might also have worked. But because it was all done in a half-assed fashion with no plan, they started out by having him do something irredeemable, and whaddya think, of course he couldn't be successfully redeemed at the end.
