Luke a Jedi?

Gargamel · 03-21-12, 07:31 PM

Since he never finished his training, was luke ever really a Jedi?

Believe master Yoda's words on his death-bed:

"Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be."

Yes, he was. He even founds the new Jedi Order in a certain book trilogy that probably shouldn't be talked about too much beyond indirect references.

Well there are several ranks of Jedihood, just being part of the Jedi Order makes one a Jedi. Luke was an apprentice of two Jedi masters making him a Jedi by association.

Yoda was no doubt up in age. Who is to say he was of sound mind when he told Luke he was a Jedi. He could been dosed up on meds. Ever look close at his eyes he was deffinetley on something.

Luke: Am I a Jedi?

Yoda: Dude you have you kewl Jedi vibe now going on... See that did you? Whoa there it is again.

That was the soul in his eyes being absorbed back into the Force and he was resisting it to tell Luke what he needed to hear he told Luke he was a Jedi because Yoda knew that he was going to face a very difficult battle in the near future and needed to be told that he was in fact a Jedi.

Yoda used up his drugs during Empire Strikes Back anyways clearly high he was when he first met Luke wore off a few hours later did they when Obi Wan spoke snapped Yoda out of his trip that did.

He certainly looked as a high as a kite in Episode I.

And IIRC when he returns to Yoda to complete his training, Yoda tells him he's already learned everything he needs to know. If Yoda says your training is complete, who's going to argue?

Also given that the few remaining members of the order were all dead by the end of Ep VI, I think Luke got to be the one who defined what a "Jedi" was from that point forward.

That's why you must stay in school! At some point, Luke must go back and get his degree or he'll be flippin' burgers for the rest of his life.

To a real master you listen will:
