Yoda isn't omniscient. He doesn't know if anyone else is still alive or at even interested in fighting the empire so he is assuming that Luke is the last jedi. It has been years since he last saw another jedi after order 66 and Jedi are actively hunted. even if he knows someone who was alive like a year ago chances are they are already dead. Also sometimes people make mistakes when speaking.giive him a break he is 900 years old

One reference is clone wars. Ahsoka reported to the jedi council long after leaving. While Mace coldly calls her citizen, Yoda still calls her padawan Ahsoka in return still calls him Master So based on this I don't think he hated them. I just think the bokken Jedi just weren't thought of at the time

Its more I dare say. The "bokken" jedi most often were like Ashoka. Ones who LEFT the order => they were no jedi from the pov of the jedi even if they themselves and the empire saw them as that.

[@stevenwilgus8982]

Just so y'all will understand: Myamoto Musashi (the author of "The Book Of Five Rings") fought the last fights in his life with challenger samurai using a WOODEN BOKKEN against their live steel blades. He never, ever lost. So, bokken isn't inferior, it depends on the wielder.

[@nelcorazs]

It is objectively inferior, but Musashi was still mighty enough to overcome that.

[@schmalzilla1985]

​@@nelcorazsdeclaring a stick inferior to a steel stick with one edge or two edges (sword), while against an unprotected combatant would be accurate enough, but that's for one type of encounter. Against a full plated knight the sword is as effective as a good ole sturdy wooden stick. Even if neither can cut, the blunt force trauma is nothing to scoff at. In this type of encounter a mace/battle axe/pole arm would be superior to both the sword and stick in being able to deliver some serious injuries. My point is the objectively superior with weapons is dependent on the conditions the weapon has to face.

[@ericsnickars3647]

[@WolfsHaven]

By the time of Empire, before Yoda died, I dont think he knew if any other Jedi survived. As far as he knew all other Jedi were killed. Luke and possibly Leia were the only hope of re-establishing the order. Is it possible that force ghosts told him of others? Maybe but how many actually came to visit Yoda and how long before before Obi-Wan came to see him? My guess would be, after the fall of the Jedi, Yoda may have changed his mind on bokken Jedi. In order to re-build the order, they would need as many, light leaning force wielders as they could find. Once the order was up to par, then they could go back to doing things more traditionally.

[@ronaldmayorga7962]

Man when I saw your video header I was like, "wtf" but I see your points. I have my own thoughts but I'll share this, I think the reason Yoda wouldn't have recognized Ezra and Cal and Ahsoka as Jedi proper is because none of them were Knights, all their training was cut short so they never advanced further. Internally, the Padawan aren't considered Jedi although to the galaxy that's doesn't matter, you have the force? You're a Jedi. An argument can be made that they grow stronger in the force, and that's for sure. But none of them ever completed their training wholey. Cal would the closest to having achieved Knighthood from his Master's Force Ghost. Look at this way, Luke was trained by two council members, one was the Grand Master. And it's possible over the years Obi Wan and Yoda continued to advice Luke post-episode 6. Luke did his tenure as a Padawan, then Knight, then Master after redeeming Anakin and ultimately defeating Sidious the first time.

[@limegecko5673]

Tbf Ahsoka was basically knighted since the masters called her path to clearing her name from the temple bombings her “grand trials”. Which means she would have been knighted at the age of 17 had she come back to the order. The way I see it she has completed her training on her own and has probably surpassed many Jedi Masters in terms of experience. With Kanan, Cal and Ezra I could agree tho.

[@ronaldmayorga7962]

@@limegecko5673 I can see your train of thought but the fact she walked away before being Knighted makes all the difference. We've seen what it takes for someone to be Knighted properly, ceremony and all, and she didn't go through it all. I'll recant my statement about Cal being closest to Knighthood over Ahsoka cause you are right, I forgot the council did tell her she has passed her great trial. I still say however her training was incomplete as Anakin needed to finish her training in the show for her to move forward. Let's not forget that even tho she's doesn't constantly correct people on it, she herself doesn't identify as being a Jedi. She accepts that the people around her need her to be a Jedi but she doesn't see herself as a Jedi. That can change for sure as she's more a Jedi than anyone else in this era and I'm including Luke.

[@DjeminiStudios]

Secondly... "Bokkan" might be the Disney hacks just trying to ret-con what is previously known as the "Bogan" Which in Legends, were the sect of students dedicated to the study of the Dark Side abilities. When the Je'daii were first formed on Tython, many centuries before the Republic fully formed, there were two base areas of study, as represented by "Ashla" (the Light Side) and Bogan (the Dark Side) Long before these two focus study groups split into the Jedi and Sith, they were seen as like a Yin and Yang, for each practitioner to learn how to keep in balance. The Planet of Tython was the center point, with two orbiting moons. One moon, dubbed "Ashla" held a consistent orbit to Tython, which kept it in the light of the sun from which that system is based - where as the other moon, dubbed "Bogan" held its orbit consistently in the shade of Tython. Thus Ashla was the Light Moon, where students were sent to study the Light, while Bogan was the Dark Moon, where students were sent to study the Dark. And if any student was to develop a bias towards one or the other, they would return to Tython in the center, in order to sustain a balanced approach to the Force, and its purpose of expanding and protecting the continuation of Life throughout the universe. Disney would have us think that Light and Dark are forevermore supposed to battle it out, with one being seen as "good" and the other seen as "evil" but that is NOT at all the case. Good and evil are not matters of study, or ability, they are issues founded in INTENTION, or imbalance. For the INTENTION of a True and original Je'daii was to reconcile the two, and maintain them in balance to one another, like Yin and Yang, in service to LIFE. It was only when an outside Force grew fearful of the Force sensitives and their mysterious powers that a war was declared against Tython and the Je'daii, resulting in a dilemma, or schism. Do they defend their home by responding with force and violence? (Bogan) or do they retreat and passively abandon their home with passivity, and peace? This schism resulted in the Je'daii becoming divided into what then became two separate organizations - The Jedi, and the Sith.

[@kennyholten8837]

In all honesty, Yoda was kind of lazy as the grandmaster of the order. He could have prevented so much, but chose to remain idle. Dooku was right as well, the order had lost its way under yodas leadership. They were never meant to be generals and soldiers. Or to be so heavily involved in politics.

@@limegecko5673 it could be an older term used during the Old Republic Era. well before the Disney purchase, in lore the first time the Jedi temple was sacked thousands of years ago the Jedi were all but destroyed, not to the extent of order 66 but it was bad.

Like the KotoR games the remaining Jedi fled to Tython and other ancient Jedi sites that were used as outposts and mediation sites.

If that were the case the why teach Luke? Why reach out and guide Ezra?

[@dawfydd]

I think its kind of sad we make excuses for what is basically just Lucas didn't plan ahead. But the best idea is that if Luke was told "More jedi there are.. like your sister" he'd focus on rebuilding. Luke and Yoda both knew that Vader would sooner or later catch up with Luke and they'd have to fight, if Luke was busy trying to find more jedi it'd confuse his path.. they saw his path as a confrontation with Vader and perhaps Vader would go easy on him enough that Luke could finish him. They still planned that Leia could be used afterwards and trained, but really if Endor happened by Luke died, Vader and the Emperor escaping would've been a huge problem - worthy of a What if series of its own imo, What if Leia had to be trained after Endor.. using say Ahsoka. But it really does mostly just mean Luke needed that hyper focus to believe he was a Jedi, he was the last and it was on him to shape the galaxy or not, which pushed him into greatness, he became a True jedi and saw the good in his father and brought it out. I'd always thought before the prequels that Luke by extension being Anakin's offspring was part of his bringing balance, because through Anakin and him having a kid caused him to come back to his senses.. and leave a powerful and wise Jedi to make sure the Sith didn't return to power. I also feel like Darkness must always exist that only the Jedi is not balance, but Sith being in power isn't either.

[@terrencepowell4072]

[@symbolik4372]

The line never even made sense at the time either, considering Leia could also be trained as a Jedi and Yoda even noted it in Empire Strikes back. I think he meant the Last Jedi who would be strong enough to face Vader and win. Everyone else at some point or another has already tried and failed.

The difference is that Disney broke all the cannon rules set by Lucas. So trying to reconcile these two worlds is impossible.

[@darknova7863]

I think Luke the only official Jedi because his knighting was similar to Obi-Wan because he became a Knight after he beat Maul, Luke beat Vader technically so if you think of it that way he is the last of the Jedi in terms of being an official one.

For me the thing it doesn’t make sense is: anakin is the one from the prophecy the one to bring balance of the force. But at that time there was no sith that they know. Then there were 2 sidous and maul. And hundreds of jedi. So he did fulfill the prophecy and put the balance by killing almost all jedi end evening the odds. So why train him in the first place. ??

[@noahtodd4584]

I wonder if you could infer that Yoda decided to not reveal the other Jedi in case he was wrong about Luke? I mean if you think about it Yoda lived for 900 years with the Jedi, as far as we know, and then watched the Jedi fall. So by having multiple Jedi out there without having knowledge of one another it prevents them from being all destroyed at once again. Especially if Luke turned to the dark side.

It may be Quinlan, It may be Oppo (btw Oppo knows about Tanalorr, as he was the one ordering to retreat from Tanalorr when Nihil attacked) And all of this is too good to fit in canon. Unless they get stranded on Tanalorr for the entire duration of GCW - things are not looking good for Cal and other jedi. He can still be responsible for the stop of Project "Harvester", and be the one who reduced the number of inquisitors to none by the start of OT, yet in the end be the one striked by Vader, I don't know. But since it's the most obvious path for Cal to be dealt with - I hope it's not the true one.

the Jedi council proved themselves useless by their action or inaction Obi-Wan and Yoda use "from a certain point of view" to cover the lies knowingly told..

The problem with Yoda is he let fear make decisions knowing that "Fear is the path to the dark side" I do not think Yoda hated the Bokken they were not Jedi and not of use to Luke. Yoda saw his training of Luke his way to redeem himself for the mistakes he made as grand master. If the Bokken had done it that would have proven that Yoda was wrong about everything.

It's not more logical to say that Yoda lied to Luke, than it is to say that there were never any other Jedi planned when George Lucas wrote Empire Strikes Back. That's just a ridiculous statement.

[@doorman1976]

Bokken Jedi is a misleading term. These force-sensitives, failed padawans or just plain padawans were not fully trained Jedi Knights. They never underwent the trials. Using Bokken in this way is a means to legitamize these characters, without saying they are fully trained Jedi Knights in the classic tradition. Since we're dealing with retconing the original trilogy, both Kannan and Luke did complete the trials. Luke's training wasn't years like traditional Jedi (Anakin, Obi-Wan or Yoda himself), but it wasn't a week or so. Keep in mind in The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas deliberatly has the scene where Han and Leia talk about how far it is to Bespin. This sets up that it could take months to get there; where Luke, with a fully functioning hyperdrive, got to Dagobah within hours of departing Hoth. Yoda, in Return of the Jedi, tells Luke he already knows all that he needs. Luke just needs to confront (and obviously overcome) Vader as his final trial. Likewise there is the scene with Vader and Luke on Endor in Return of the Jedi. Here Vader examines Luke's newly constructed lightsaber and pronounces his skills complete. This is more evidence towards Luke having completed his Jedi training.
