"Luke is a tool"
its pretty clear, after ROTS, exactly what Yoda&Obi were thinking in ROTJ.
after everything that happened in ROTS, (anaking killing their precious younglings)..
..everything they do to 'anakins youngling' is bitter "payback":
they put Luke on tattooine, in the SAME house , with the SAME name..
they BARELY train him in the ways of the force..
(they teach him ONLY enough, for vader to sense him from across the galaxy)..
they teach him ONLY enough, to get himself KILLED.
"NO MORE training do you require". (yeah right) :rolleyes
(he doesn't even know 'this weapon if your life': lesson #1, jedi 101 ..)
( .. and so he throws his weapon/life away(!?) *clunk* "I am a Jedi like my father before me")
*facepalm*
THIS is what palpatine meant when he said "Only Now, At The End, Do You Understand.."
(translation: "..its OBVIOUS they sent you here to DIE!!")
YODA AND OBIWAN THREW LUKE UNDER A BUS!! :lol
(and then later, when anakin turns back, they sit there all smug at the end of ROTJ, like THIS was their plan all along).
--> luke was a "tool", all right.. but only a tool of obi&yoda.
they USED him, to get under anakin's skin.
they FED him to the emperor, so anakin could watch.
they KNEW anakin wouldn't sit idly by, and watch padme's love child,
getting brutally murdered by Sith Lightning..
(and they NEEDED anakin, to defeat the emperor).
..so they offered luke up as a sacrifice.
Luke was intentionally UN(der)TRAINED!
this is why Luke was such an incompetent tool.
this is why he couldn't sense his own sister.
this is why they left him on tattooine, with the name skywalker.
this is why he only had about a week of training on dagobah -- (the exact length of time that the falcon spent in the asteroid)--
and as soon as the emperor had officially sensed his presence, they told him..
"..whoops. no more training, dude." :confused
(they threw him under a bus)
(@Anakin: "...them apples, how do you like? eh? hmm? heh heh heh"[/yoda])
