Why Yoda Didn't Believe Ahsoka, Ezra, Kanan and Cal Were "True" Jedi - Star Wars Explained

[@marwig87]

Ahsoka didn't think of herself as a Jedi and was probably stuck on Malachor, Ezra was in a different galaxy, Kanan died before A New Hope. Cal put a side being a Jedi to have a relationship with Merrin. Most of the other Jedi were hiding from the Empire after Order 66. Luke was the only one trained, helping the Rebels, taking on the Empire, trying to make the Galaxy a better place.

Even with the suits limitations Vader killed many, many powerful jedi. He was no push over by any means. Luke's power at that point was matching Vader's and only getting stronger. So was vader with his suit gimped compared to what he would have been if he didn't get injured? Absolutely. That being said, he was still roughly 80% of what Palpatine was which is still insane. Luke faced down two monsters and came out on top. I don't think anyone else could have done that

Yoda simply told Luke what he needed to hear. Rather than reveal that there were other Force sensitives out there he made it clear to Luke that he alone needed to step up to the plate and defeat Darth Vader.

[@haydenjurko]

That’s how I’ve kind of always thought of it. Even back in the day.Cause it’s like out of the survivors of order 66 and just the galaxy in general, it’s not impossible that there’d be a Jedi or force sensitives some where out there.

[@zk4761]

Agree. Kenobi said he's the last hope and he goes there is another. All he did was push him to take on Vader and bring back the order. He was well aware there were other force wielders that used the light side of the force. Even if he didn't officially call them jedi.

So whether other jedi or force users existed? Doesnt matter, to that moment, for luke there were no others to do His job

[@stmon12]

It was Yoda just trying to motivate Luke!! Why would he (Yoda)send a padawan to do what he(Yoda) and Kenobi had failed to do. That was also never told to Luke.

[@masterquan4891]

Luke was trained as the last Jedi of the old order at the time by Obi-Won and Yoda, thus in his eyes he was the last trained Jedi. He was also able to stand up to Vader without any fear which was quite a feat considering his limited training with both masters and he didn't die, all others perished.

[@ingra888]

With Ezra, I can see why Yoda doesn't see him as a Jedi. Ezra was born around the same time that Palpatine destroyed the Jedi order and turned the Republic into the Empire. Ezra never had a chance to be raised and trained by the Jedi like Kanan, Ahsoka, and Cal have. It doesn't matter if these 3 individuals don't see themselves as Jedi because in Palpatine's eyes, they ARE jedi and will see to it that they are eliminated just like the rest. Yoda wasn't lying when he told Luke that he was the last Jedi because by the time he said that, Kanan was already dead, Ezra was trapped on Peridea, Ahsoka was trapped on Malachor, and god knows where Cal is.

yoda also is protecting survivors by not telling Luke who has a link with vader. he can tell Obi wan but not Luke yet

[@Badboyben1422]

My problem always with the line from Yoda was the whole sentence, "When gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be." To me it can be interpreted in two ways and only because of one word, Jedi. As we know the word Jedi is both singular and plural. I know sometimes there are a few people who say, Jedis with a different dialect or accent, but sticking to the point. Since Jedi can be both singular and plural you can then interpret Yoda's sentence, as in Luke is the Last Jedi as Yoda probably believes all the other Jedi are dead or that they have forgotten who they are and now live normal lives. Or, that Luke is now part of the handful of Jedi that are left and with Yoda's death, their numbers still dwindle, yet Yoda can still sense the other Jedi in the galaxy and is in a way telling Luke to not forget about them.

[@show9838]

The reason Yoda said Luke was the last Jedi was because back in 1983 ahsoka, kanan Ezra and Cal didn't exist yet but I do like fun theories that add and explain the history and retcons. I do wish Disney would stop treating Luke so bad though in favor of the new characters. In my opinion Luke has been done do dirty these last few years I would like for him to have a comeback. Maybe a tales of the jedi episode that shows his badassness idk but I honestly feel Luke is being pushed aside and it's sad because he was one of favorite jedi

[@InfiniteNaos]

I think Yoda was mentioning a true Jedi trained in the old traditional ways as well as keeping to the Jedi code, at least as far as one can go in this point in time. Obiwan helped Luke with blade combat while Yoda helped with tapping into the force. Kanaan is a true Jedi but is dead by this point, Ezra was at Peridia plus trained outside the confines of the Order, and both Cal and Ahsoka were ronin operating differently than Yoda’s view of a Jedi. One was more of a rogue while the other renounced the title. One key bit of information in the novel of ROTJ is that both ObiWan and Yoda still had the old order mentality of eliminating someone that’s too far gone. All throughout the fight between Luke and Vader both ObiWan and Yoda were telling Luke to strike down his father that he was too far gone to be redeemed. They were both proven wrong in the very end when Anakin fulfilled the prophesy.

[@InfiniteNaos]

@@VerticalBlank If anything Dooku did have the right idea, but went about solving the problems the wrong way by radically challenging the Republic and the Order. The Jedi labeled him as a radical idealist because they couldn’t see that they themselves were apart of the problem in the galaxy. In a way henchmen of the Republic to subjugate rather than assist and help the galaxy and serve the force. I at least can understand why the Jedi wanted to make sure any natural born force users can be trained in the Light so that no more Sith can be made, by Legends standards, yet in the end they didn’t give the children a choice if they wanted to be a Jedi or not. At least Luke did have a choice after his encounter with Vader on Bespin. He almost called it there of renouncing his way of the Jedi, but he didn’t. After his mechanical hand he continued his training in both blade work and the force realizing that if he didn’t try then there wouldn’t have been anyone else. In his mind that was the case before realizing he had a sister.

[@InfiniteNaos]

@@VerticalBlank In Tales of the Jedi you can see how Dooku didn’t like what the Republic was doing to their own civilians. Maybe not all of them were corrupt, but a good amount of representatives were money hungry. It’s very similar to what happened between Cham Syndulla and Senator Taa. Dooku did delve into the Dark a few times due to the hate of corruption. If you saw into the later episodes Qui-Gon was the last reason for Dooku to remain in the Light. He saw him as a son and now that he was gone Dooku didn’t see any reason to remain in the Order. Interestingly, Dooku was the most political out of any Jedi mainly for the people’s rights and liberations from the corrupt senate. Now going to the idea if Qui-Gon was still alive well then Dooku more than likely would’ve stayed with the Order and if either he or Qui-Gon or both taught Anakin then he could’ve been unbeatable in his blade work as well as furthering his connection in the force exponentially more than just with ObiWan alone. Pretty much the Sith Grand Plan would’ve stopped at Sidious maybe even before the Clone Wars.

As a force casual, I think the title of Jedi is overrated. If one is force sensitive, has good intentions, and is formally trained in said force, that is all that matters. The title of Jedi can kick rocks. "In order for evil to prevail, is for good men to do nothing" - Benjamin Franklin

[@zeldamaster702]

Canon: Ashoka had relinquished the title of “Jedi” prior to the rise of the Empire. Kanan and Cal had never fully graduated past the point of Padawan and thus never fully graduated to the ranks commonly associated with being a Jedi. Ezra never had what could be considered a real “Master” since Kanan never officially ascended past Padawan. So while technically all are proficient in Jedi arts and in use of the Force, none are technically what would be considered a “Jedi”. Real world: None of the characters existed in 1983 when RotJ released and the stories were written as if they never would. One of the issues with Lucas writing the franchise like Yoda speaks.

Ashoka didn't considered herself a Jedi, but she was the last Jedi to pass her trial and to be recognized as a knight by the fulll Jedi Council before the Order 66. Even with all her shades of gray, I like to think she is the Last Old School Jedi, and Luke is the First New School Jedi.

[@DerektheMenace]

This exactly! In addition Ahsoka defeated Maul on Mandalore and numerous inquisitors during the years before Yavin. In my opinion, she had the most Old School Jedi training and experience but she recognized that the order was not her place and that showed how much she was guided by the actual light side instead of the Order. In many ways she was similar to Qui-Gon but she might have been more attuned after The Daughter resurrected her on Mortis. There are some who theorize that she is the new avatar of the light side in mortal form.

Remember that even cutting Ninth Sister's arm didn't stopped her, unlike Vader who chose to loose to Luke (don't even debate me that Luke was as strong as prime Vader, he could've crushed the entire throne room with the force if he wanted to) His treatment to fodder meat however...

Ahsoka = Padawan. It was confirmed she never finished her training. This is even brought up in the "time between worlds" episode. She also left the order. Ezra = Padawan trained by a Padawan. He never completed his training either as a Jedi. Maul taught him a bit but that was all Sith stuff. Kanan = Dead. Cal = Padawan. I mean for gods sake, did everyone forget he was just a kid when Order 66 happened? Luke = only one to finish his training by a Jedi Master. Also note, even Kenobi stated to Yoda in ESB, "There goes our last hope." Of course Yoda announces that there is one other which was Leia.

[@VestedUTuber]

Ahsoka = light-sided independent. Remember, she left the order entirely. Kanan = Was knighted in a Force vision... oddly enough by the past version of the temple guard who eventually became the Grand Inquisitor. Not sure if this counts or not, it probably doesn't officially but does as far as the Force itself cares. Still dead though.

I honestly think it is the direct opposite. Yoda considers Luke to be a Jedi not becouse he is stuck in the old way, but rather because he is not anymore. After all that happened, Yoda went to exule because, as he said "failed i have". The old jedi order wasn't a jedi order at all. They were no peacekeepers, they were basicly warriors. And all the other jedi were trained by the old ways. Luke on the other hand was different. He was the guy who was willing to risk anything to save his friends, who sacreficed his family, his life, all of it, just to bring the galaxy peace. Realise how yoda didn't spend one second in training Luke with the lightsaber? How Yoda doesn't even have one anymore? The Jedi failed because the sith changed. From dumb warriors to extremly tactical players, who sneak in the shadows and got spys everywhere. Yoda knew that the jedi needed to change to and Luke was exactly what he was looking for.

[@martychisnall]

First off Kanan was long dead by this point, Ahsoka had left the order and admitted herself she’s not a Jedi, Ezra was stuck in another Galaxy and presumed dead and Cal we don’t know but definitely was a Jedi. Other Jedi apart from Yoda and Obi-Wan had survived Order 66 in both canon and legends.

[@merikano2985]

I think this video is overthinking it. George had no idea what Star War's future would be like decades later. And DF having Baylan refer to Ezra as a Bokan is an unrealistic attempt to come up with an excuse for that line. Things become clearer when you're dead or close to dying, thirty years after Yoda gives that line he shows up as a Force ghost and calls down some lightning burning a tree and all the jedi texts Luke had collected. Which is one of my all time favorite scenes in Star Wars. As for the bodycount thing - Kanan was knighted and Ezra was recognized as his padawan. They killed a lot of white guys and destroyed a lot of ships, but so did Luke. He's the kid who blew up the Death Star. He also didn't defeat the Emperor, his dad did that. It took balls to redeem Anakin and in a technicality he did defeat the Sith Vader by doing that. But sparring Vader isn't anything new. Obi Wan beat Vader twice, the second time purposefully sparing him knowing full well what Vader would go on to do afterward. Then he and Yoda later egg on Luke to kill Vader and the Emperor in order for to become a Jedi Knight? What insane logic is that? This video is a mess with plot holes and a lot of that is on the fault of Disney and its newest stuff but, I'm just going to go with Yoda was going senile in his old age and for a moment thought Luke really was the last one. That makes more sense than all of these excuses being thrown around.

Ahsoka is a Jedi in all but name. She was about to be knighted but walked away. So she is knight level in skill and as far as the trials are concerned. Basically Ahsoka just walked away without claiming her Degree.

There's an argument to be made that Yoda's reason for not telling Luke isn't because he didn't consider the other four force sensitives Jedi. Me I subscribe to Yoda doing a Master Roshi and telling Luke what he needed to hear to strive to be a better Jedi, Luke could of went into Jabba's palace or the Second Death Star thinking "it's ok if I get defeated here then the other four have this." stifling his growth whereas if he thought he was the last surviving Jedi then he'd fight with everything he could and continue trying to strengthen himself, and his ideals.

Formally, by the Old Jedi standarts, she wasn't a Jedi anymore at this point. The order was quite unforgiving about any deviations from the rules, and this one specifically was considered to be irreversible.

[@estebanquinones5918]

Since she "lost her connection to the force" then technically according to the "traditional" jedi ways blah blah blah she wouldn't be considered a jedi anymore.

[@michaelhviper]

In Legends, Luke did certain things different. He was not as strict about some aspects which made sense as during the time of the Old Republic the Jedi had lost their way. But as for my opinions, Ezra was out of the Galaxy so I agree with you that there was no contact with him. He didn't know whether he was still alive or not. Kanan was dead at this point. I don't think he knew Grogu survived. (Even though he wasn't mentioned here.) As for Ahsoka she doesn't see herself as a jedi. She may see herself as a grey Jedi or her own type of force user, though in the clone wars around the end Yoda seemed accepting of her. So maybe it's an open door to her to be a Jedi again if she wished. So I think if she chose to go through a knighting ceremony followed by the trials he would have seen her as one. Provided she chose to and found a way off of Malacore by that time to do so. As for Kal, he didn't attempt the trials or have a knighting ceremony. Yoda wasn't in contact with him at least not during the events of Fallen Order. This may have changed during the time of Jedi Survivor I haven't played the sequel yet so I may be wrong about a few things there. But getting back to what I said, Luke may be more open to seeing them as Jedi if he's not as strict. He's not Yoda so he may show more leeway. Especially since he didn't experience the trials himself or have a knighting ceremony. He knighted himself after refusing the darkside. It's basically a genesis thing, he's the first of the new, not the last of the old. Remember many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.

[@benjbk]

I think it is more unfair to assume that Yoda was close-minded based on some after-the-fact retcons. He DID mention Lea as a possible replacement for Luke, should he fail. And she wasn't trained by anybody. It's not like he didn't learn anything from the mistakes the Jedi made before their fall.

[@TheCloneTrooperJedi]

Yoda wasn't closed minded by ANH, Obi-Wan was the closed minded one by ANH. I'm starting to believe there's another force-user (Not Qui-Gon or anyone we've met before) that Yoda encounters during exile that pushes him back to traditional Jedi philosophy, and perhaps Yoda, but not Obi-Wan, recognizes as an immediate second option should Luke fail and the Death Star stayed operational, as their wouldn't be time to train Leia up enough to beat any of the 3 Sith.

[@duaneherndon6736]

[@atraina6921]

Long story short : Lucas didn’t envision any other Jedi being alive at the time when the movie was made, but Disney and Filoni decided to retcon that. Let’s just call it like it is.

[@xNihfonosx]

I get Ahsoka because of her real separation from the order. Kanan was technically only a padawan when Order 66 happened and that set him on a different course. But he still somehow basically became a Jedi master in Rebels to Ezra, who definitely seems like a Jedi to me by all accounts, which is the most confusing out of everything here. He might not have been trained at the temple on Coruscant, but he did have a LOT of experience at various ancient Jedi temples and SITH temples too. Ezra is the one that doesn’t make much sense because he’s full Jedi material, while Kanan was absolutely acting as a Jedi Master himself even with the order gone. Maybe Yoda just didn’t know about them, but still.. I mean he sensed that Leia was one and she hardly had any action or Jedi training at all. So why did he not sense Kanan and Ezra, especially when they faced off against Maul and Vader - and how did Kanan become a master alone in the wild? that I don’t understand

[@ShasPlace2]

In rebels, Kanan took Ezra to the temple in Lothal to go thrift the trials. Yoda, not only put Extra thru his trials to become an official Padawan but he also tested Kanan as well. Both of them passed. Yoda, they the force Knighted Kanan and Ezra became an official Padawan by receiving his very own kyber Crystal. It's in the rebels, I think it's in season 2. But Yoda made them both official, thru the force, in the Jedi temple Ezra found on Lothal. It's cool because the force led him to the temple. Watch season one, I think that's when he first found the temple.

[@FirestoneAnimation]

The reason Cal isn't as merciful as Kanan or Ezra is because ever since the age of a padawan, all he knew was that he was another weapon in an unrelenting war. That's why he can't even walk away from fighting even when he has the choice to do so. All he ever knew was fighting.

[@marekb1556]

Yoda and Obi One passed on the majority of their knowledge and training to Luke. He was the only one of the group to have completed his training with actual Jedi at this time. Ashoka kind of finished her training when she learnt her last lesson from Anikan.

[@fixipszikon6670]

Because Ahsoka left the Order and Lucas told Filoni that she must die before ROTS, so she is dead, and the others do not exist in the Lucas Universe, only in the alternate disney crap universe. There. Explained it in less than a minute.

Question, does what Anakin did for Ahsoka qualify as her Knighting? Or is it just good to move on from that paradigm and establish a more pragmatic Order of Force Users?

[@Jdp_1597]

Considering Kanan was knighted in a memory I’d take it as a knighting but I think she’s better as a Ronin

[@elijahcesar4149]

So basically in technicality.. IT DIDNT MATTER THE JUDGEMENT OF SOMEONE OF YODA OR EVEN OBI WANS on whether or not if you should be knighted or granted mastery... cause IF THEY WERE THE ALLY and literally tryna represent the force.. theyd let the force decide and flow thru them if someone like kanan.. ezra.. kal or even ahsoka should be knighted or masters.. all guys like yoda from that time of the order was the order of jedi that was a teaching STRUCTURE that so happen to use the force at a high level... but THE PROBLEM WAS THEIR STRUCTURE.. mindset.. and how they judged how a padawan jedi youngling should be elevated was the problem... picking them up as children to make it absolute they wont fall was the fall alone.. CAUSE LUKE WAS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE on why the age matters not..AND HE BECAME THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL... so its like yoda mindset on how he sees on what a TRUE JEDI is.. is a flaw.. its like this " old heads always talking bout back in the day of what works then should be a thng now.. when us youngins know that shit is played out and doesnt work that way anymore because we shown a different pathway on how to do the same thing but differently... you just stuck in your ways... doesnt mean the ways of old is not prominent its just not needed asmuch you think it should"

I actually prefer the last sentiment you brought up, at that point when Yoda said those things, Ashoka was not technically a Jedi, Kanan was dead, Ezra was MIA, and as of now we don’t know where Cal was at that point. I like to believe that Yoda gained a level of clarity in the Force on Dagobah that he hadn’t been able to achieve during the time of the Republic and the fog of the Clone Wars. And that by then he would’ve seen the new Jedi as the future of his fallen order. After all I think it would be arrogant for us to say that Luke was the only one at that time who wasn’t struggling to be a Jedi. He faced his own pull to the dark side and his own challenges, but I think I would say that both Ezra and Cal at least had faced enough challenges in their own struggles to become Jedi, that they could be considered knights who faced their trials. Ezra sacrificed over a decade of time with his friends to save countless lives on Lothal and possibly billions elsewhere in the galaxy from Thrawn’s might. And Cal had fought Vader and survived and also helped a fallen Jedi see the light just before her death, and he saved possibly hundreds of younglings from the Inquisitorious by destroying that holocron. But while all that is true, Yoda might have thought them dead by that point. I like that version so that’s my head canon now.

[@janmos5178]

I can understand those who write that other Jedi were not there during the OT because Lucas determined so, but he himself later allowed in the old EU for Jedi who survived Order 66, such as Qu Rahn, Kam Solusar (padawan), Empatojayos Brand and a few others. Apparently, by the way, Yoda's death was Marquand's idea, not Lucas'.

[@maree2x72]

Yoda call Luke the last Jedi because at that point in the Star Wars story, he was the last Jedi. Every surviving Jedi came after the original series. It's simply the fact that as the Star Wars world expanded a couple of things from the original series became potholes or were got retconned. In fact, the entire original series was from the mind of George Lucas, most Jedi, who we found out about in the recent years, are not George Lucas characters. I'm sure someone is going to say I am not fun or whatever. But I just don't understand the point in trying to throw our own logic as Star Wars fans into the mythos to try to explain or justify something that doesn't need to be explained nor justified.

[@PsychedelicDude]

I just like to think that by the time of ROTJ, Yoda hadn't been in contact with anyone else in years, so as far as he knew, Luke was the only one left. And/or he just told Luke what he needed to hear.

[@OrangeHatReviews]

Ultimately, Yoda said what he said because those other characters do not exist. Only in the Filoniverse do they exist, I prefer the EU prior to 2008, with Plagueis novel getting an 90% exception. I say 90% due to the change of Maul's origin, he was originally found in Iridonia and not Dathomir. Interesting video. But I still prefer the older tales as they were better told and more consistent.

I always thought it was to protect the others. Luke was fully trained, but lacked the practice to keep all of his thoughts from Vader or Sidious. Which would be wise as he gives up his sister.

[@rebelcommander7starwarsjur922]

Cal I believe died before Yoda said “when gone I am last of the Jedi you will be” also Kanan straight up died before then. Ashoka IS NOT A JESI DO NOT CALL HER ONE SHE IS NOT A JEDI! Remember when Kanan and Ezra were trying to open the Jedi temple on Lothal she sat out of trying to open it specifically because she’s not a Jedi! She said she’s not a Jedi! Ezra on the other hand ya that’s not good it breaks what Yoda said BYT NO ONE ELSE DOES! Don’t give the whole boken Jedi shit don’t just don’t because Luke didn’t get trained in the same structure. DO NOT DO NOT OH MY GOSH DO NOT GIVE ME EZRA WAS OUT OF THE GALAXY AND THEREFORE YODA COULDN’T SENSE HIM SHIT THATS NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS! Also do not do not go the whole do not kill shit do not kill shit and Ezra kills cal kills etc DO NOT NOT WHEN YODA ASKED LUKE TO KILL VADER LUKE WAS ASKED TO KILL DARTH VADER! I think the only reason Yoda said what he said was because OH GOSH DO I HOPE CAL IS DEAD BY NOW! Ashoka not a Jedi. Kanan is dead.

[@windstormstrike]

By your logic then, if Luke's last test was to defeat his own father, a Sith Lord, in order to become a Jedi then all "Jedi" in the Old Republic were not true "Jedi" then since Luke was given a higher standard by Yoda himself. Then this means Yoda was so out of it by the end of the old Jedi Order that he was handing out the title of "Jedi Knight" like candy to anyone who is force sensitive. Luke is the Only true Knight by the end of ROTJ and beyond.

[@TheDeathmail]

The real reason??? Simple, when the scene was written, Luke really was the real last Jedi.....

[@Badboyben1422]

"Other than Luke displayed the proper sanctity of life." while Luke, killed troopers on the Death Star to save Leia, destroyed the Death Star which killed millions, destroyed AT-AT's filled with troopers, force choked the Gamorrean guards, Force grabbed a gun to shoot Jabba in the face, slaughtered Jabba's men and told Leia to purposely point a giant gun at the deck to blow up Jabba's barge killing them all.

[@trevorwinn5012]

[@chadbrochill19]

From reading lots of comments, I think people misinterpret what it means to be a Jedi. A Jedi is a narrow term like the Sith. They are both groups of force users but they also believe in a specific dogma and usually act with a certain code. That's it. One can leave the Jedi way / Order (even if it's been destroyed such as RotJ when Yoda makes this claim.) He sees himself as the last Jedi, a member of the Jedi Order that had stood for 10,000 year. He follows the dogma / code and lives with those ideals and passes them on to Luke or the philosophy he retains in that current era. -- Could Luke had been trained in the Force and not been a Jedi? Absolutely. There are many force traditions that are within the Galaxy, although the Jedi being the most prominent with in respect of their relationship with the Galactic Republic / Empire (Sith). Just because Yoda said Luke was the last of the Jedi didn't mean there weren't other candidates to become Jedi, just that from there on, it would be up to Luke to carry on the tradition from Master to Apprentice, which is what the Jedi had practiced. From what we know of there quite a few established Force Organizations in cannon (some are left undetermined in Legends), however you wouldn't call these individuals 'Jedi" even if they represented similar ideals or philosophies. It's simply from Yoda's perspective that Luke is the 'official' last Jedi, which of course Yoda being the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, it makes sense with this logic.

He was the equivalent of the “corporate yes man.” ObiWan rarely said anything that went against the councils decisions. Though he did have a seat with them he didn’t say anything that would arise any debates or question any sort of rules. That’s why Qui-Gon refused a seat on the council even though he was considered a master.

So yes Grey Jedi were a thing before the Order pushed them out and had them banished.

I wonder if this could now be interpreted in context of who could end up bringing balance back to the force, per the prophecies. Anakin seemingly failed being the chosen one at the time, turning into Vader. Yoda and Obi-Wan had no belief in Anakin being redeemed, as this video stated. Yoda later said if Luke failed, there was another, specifically referring to Leia. Even though Yoda was aware of other force users, it seems like Yoda felt only someone in the Skywalker bloodline would be able to successfully bring balance back to the force. Luke eventually got Anakin to turn back, which did end up bringing the balance back to the force, at least in that specific time period.

Palpatine was right when he said the Jedi's dogmatic and narrow view was weak. It lead to their arrogance and ultimate downfall, Palpatine didn't cause it, he merely exploited it.

The fact Yoda still failed to recognise the likes of Ezra and Ahsoka shows he didn't learn a thing from his failures.

[@joelt2002]

Luke was not a traditional Jedi by any stretch of the imagination. He literally force chokes in Return of the Jedi. These people pretending as if Luke was some incarnation of the old Jedi are stretching it bad. These characters are obviously retconned in decades after the fact. The only real way to explain it is that Luke was the new standard bearer of the Jedi. As in their future relied upon him and no one else. Think about it. His final test to become a Jedi was to confront the most powerful Sith who had killed all other Jedi and defeat him. Why? That is a ridiculous hurdle considering Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters had failed at. Yet a padawan who had only weeks/months worth of training was supposed to pull it off? Given the prophecy introduced in the prequels. It's quite possible that both Yoda and Obi'wan thought that Luke was the real chosen one after Anakin had shown himself to be the opposite. As in they were relying on faith when all else had failed. Something they had failed to do with Anakin himself. So Luke would bring balance to the force, thus such a figure would rightfully be the standard bearer of the Jedi.

By using Yoda's eyes, you can see how the concept of only "One" Jedi can bind it all together. And I like that - I like how you explain it all and it works for me. I know from a certain fan standpoint - Luke being the only "Jedi" and then all these others appear, and it dilutes the original movies - but I disagree - as a fan.
