Exactly...I've held my peace waiting for someone else to say it because i'm so iritated at the hypocrisy. We fans always want our cake and eat it too...that's why people want Grogu to take both. Sorry, life is full of choices and we all don't get to have what we want like like spoiled brats. Mando was given a choice. He made his choice, now he has to live with it. Stop criticizing dogmas when people have the choice to receive it or reject it...no one is forcing anyone's hand here. Mando chose Grogu over self...He is selfless even though he really wanted to see him. Grogu is still a child. You expect him to make a childish choice. Grogu reminds me of Anakin more than Yoda. He chose to become a Jedi by permission from Mando. Anakin chose to go with Qui-gon and leave his mother. The Chain mail just has my head scratching...not effective against a blaster...nor a lightsaber because he can still be burned. Grogu is a Force user...He is a Jedi...clearly. Mando spent a whole 2 seasons getting him to Luke ...to undercut that now just because they love each other is just silly. I get it...trust me. Everytime i leave my kid behind and have to go to work i feel the heart tug...but i know as a father i have to teach my son how to be a man. That IS LOVE!!! Love isn't just the warm fuzzies and "i miss you". Love is demonstrated in actions and choice...even disallowing choice at times knowing the nature of a child to willingly choose things that will put them in danger. Any child you lay down green beans and a chocolate bar, which will they choose? The short term gratification or long term health? Mando made the adult decision. Luke is trying to discern if Grogu will finish what he starts...if he really has made a choice in his heart to follow the training. So...NO...I do NOT want him to choose Both. Does he need either one? Nope , but the lightsaber is a Jedi weapon and is an extention of the force user. Grogu is not a mandalorian.
This choice is NOT about creeds at all. It's a choice about , "are you willing to give in to your emotional, temporal desire in exchange for what you can accomplish long term through patience? Luke thinks Grogu is too focused on 1 frog(DIn Djarin)...He needs to expand himself to understand his life is about more than just 1 person. Luke knows this all too well. He knows his father died and now he must accept that reality and use what he's learned to protect and influence others. He's trying to show Grogu that he is most definitely going to out live his "Daddy". Doesn't mean he has to forget him or never see him again...just needs to focus on the trial at hand. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day...teach a man to fish , he eats for a lifetime. To me, the chain mail is just impractical and stupid...I hope he force melts it into a beskar ball or something. As far as Yoda's lightsaber goes? Is Yoda his father? IDK. That is the only thing that would make sense to why a New Jedi Master would hand over a saber and not see if he can build one on his own...like what happened to Luke himself. I would rather have him either reject both and go and make his own lightsaber.
BUT....I can picture Grogu levitating both in the air in front of Luke and deconstructing both items and reconfiguring both to converge into a Beskar/Yoda mashup lightsaber...like this pic...i can only guess which way the writers will tell this.
