For all of his preaching patience to Luke, Yoda isn’t a very patient teacher.
Watch Luke’s face when he’s looking at Han in the first half of Empire Strikes Back — total adoration.
Luke’s the one in love with Han.
Funny robots and cute fuzzy things are so extremely central to the heart of all Star Wars.
It’s so perfect that Luke runs away and hides between trilogies — he’s emulating his idols, Obi Wan and Yoda — but then he gets drawn back in during Last Jedi because of his connection to Leia.
Connection makes him strong, exactly the opposite of what Vader was taught.
We’re rewatching the original Star Wars trilogy, and the six-year-old doesn’t remember the last time we watched it… but we told him about the Ewoks, and so he’s literally jumping up and down in anticipation now that we’ve started Return of the Jedi.
Whether the Star Wars prequel trilogy is good in its own right or not, it makes the original trilogy better.
All those relationships — between Vader, Obi Wan, Yoda… and their weariness regarding Luke — are laden with such deeper meaning when you’ve actually seen their past.
