Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
One scene inReturn of the Jedisuggests that the Jedi still had n’t learned one major lesson inStar Wars — and it ’s possible they still have n’t , even now . guild 66 is undoubtedly one of the greatest calamity intheStar Warstimeline . However , that does n’t entail the Jedi Order was a flawless institution ; on the contrary , the Jedi made a act of mistakesthroughout the prequel trilogy era .
That does n’t mean the Jedi were to charge for Order 66 , as that was a savage attack the Jedi certainly did n’t deserve , orchestrate by one ofStar Wars’most muscular Sith . Nevertheless , it is surprising to realise that Obi - Wan Kenobi and Yoda , two of the most prominentsurvivors of Order 66 , may not have learned all that they require to from the ruination of the Jedi Order . Specifically , Return of the Jediproves that Obi - Wan and Yoda were still cling to one Jedi pattern that caused significant issue for them in the yesteryear .
One scenery from Return of the Jedi has been a disappointing one for decades , but , in recent years , Star Wars has improved it importantly .
Obi-Wan & Yoda Didn’t Tell Luke The Truth About Leia
Inarguably , the most shocking twist in the originalStar Warstrilogy was the divine revelation that Darth Vader was really Luke Skywalker ’s begetter inThe Empire Strikes Back . However , the reveal inReturn of the Jedithat Luke and Leia were really siblings was a close second . Not only did this have some disturbing implications for the twins ' kiss inThe Empire Strikes Back , but also , it meant something most as shocking : Obi - Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda knew Leia was Luke ’s sister , but they advisedly save it from him .
Both Jedi had every chance to tell Luke the truth , and it would have made a considerable difference . For one , Obi - Wan could have told Luke inA New Hope , preventing that unsettling kiss between the two . More importantly , though , either Obi - Wan or Yoda tell Luke that Leia was his baby could have well fix him for Darth Vader using this fact , and Leia herself , against Luke inReturn of the Jedi .
Specifically , during their last fight inReturn of the Jedi , Darth Vader finally got a hike out of Luke by threatening to try on and turn Leia to the dark side . Despite being unhesitating that he would not fight down or stamp out his male parent before that present moment , Luke turn a loss control , tapping into his angriness and virtually lose himself in it . Had Luke been told by Obi - Wan or Yoda that Leia was his sister and groom to let go of this adherence , he may have avoided this outburst of anger and temptation to the gloomy side .
The Jedi Masters Wanted Luke To Be A Jedi Before Telling The Truth
The decision by Obi - Wan and Yoda to wait to tell Luke undoubtedly had to do with their fear that Luke would turn to the dark side because of an attachment to his sister . The fact that Luke ’s own Father of the Church had fall to the dark side because of his inability to let go of his attachments likely chip in to this choice , although that was for the most part unfair . Luke may have been Anakin Skywalker ’s son , but that does n’t intend he had the same shortcomings .
Luke may have been Anakin Skywalker ’s boy , but that does n’t think of he had the same shortcomings .
Had Luke been recount the truth , it ’s unclear how he would have react , but the form of Jedi he reverse into indicate he would n’t have allowed himself to be overtake by the adherence . After all , eventually , he did discover the truth , and although he used his ire in brief in his battle with Vader , he did n’t allow himself to in full bend to the dark side . presumptively , though , this was by plan . Obi - Wan and Yoda no doubt want Luke to be a full - fledge Jedi before he look this struggle with attachment .
Return of the Jedi concludes George Lucas’s original Star Wars trilogy with Luke Skywalker and his allies seeking to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt and facing a renewed threat as the Emperor attempts to obliterate the Rebellion through a second Death Star, broadening the epic battle between good and evil.
Obi-Wan’s & Yoda’s Fear Of Attachment Continued Even After The Jedi’s Fall
The Jedi Council had long been concerned with attachment . In fact , that was the very reason they ab initio turn down Anakin from the Jedi Order . They believed that Anakin ’s opinion about his female parent made him undesirable to join the society , as his dearest for her threaten to turn into fearfulness , ire , and hate . In a agency , this was a self - fulfil prophecy on the part of the Jedi , as holding Anakin at limb ’s distance made Anakin feel all the more disjunct , worsening his affixation to those outside the Order ( yes , his female parent , but also Padmé ) .
The Jedi never study from their error in how they deal affixation .
The fact that Anakin did light because of attachments likely only reinforced to Master Yoda and Obi - Wan Kenobi that attachments really were dangerous and vex too large a threat to the Jedi to be permissible . However , this proves that the Jedi never learned from their mistakes in how they treat attachments . The government issue was n’t that the Jedi did n’t permit romantic or familial attachments — it was the way they addressed the issuance .
Specifically , the Jedi fail to have compassion , both with Anakin and , evidently , with Luke . In Anakin ’s case , he simply require the Jedi to help him transition to the Jedi way of living with empathy , interpret that he had been conjure in a traditional way and therefore inescapably screw and was tie to her . In Luke ’s suit , Yoda and Obi - Wan should have trust Luke with the truth and tell him Leia was his babe . Sadly , thisReturn of the Jedimoment suggests that even by the end of the originalStar Warstrilogy , the Jedi had n’t learned from this misunderstanding .
