Over at StarWars.com, Michael Moreci and Swapna Krishna discuss whether or not Luke Skywalker did the right thing blasting off Dagobah to save his friends and face his nemesis Darth Vader before his training was complete. We all have our own thoughts on this, but here’s a snippet from each side of the argument.
Luke was right to leave Dagobah: Swapna Krishna
“Fear” is the operative word here — Yoda and Obi-Wan were afraid for Luke’s fate, which is why they didn’t want him to leave. They didn’t believe that Luke was able to control his emotions, and that he’d give in to anger and rage after discovering Darth Vader’s true identity. The Emperor would be able to capitalize on that negative emotion and turn Luke to the dark side. Clearly, they underestimated Luke Skywalker.
Luke should have stayed on Dagobah: Michael Moreci
Luke lost vital time with the last living Jedi. Imagine the strength Luke could have gained by staying and learning from Yoda — a Yoda who had clearly learned from his own mistakes, mistakes that contributed to Anakin falling to the dark side.
By the time Luke returned to Yoda, the Jedi Master was literally on his death bed. That year and change that Luke was away, he could have acquired so much wisdom. Instead, that all died with Yoda — and that lost wisdom, ultimately, came back to haunt Luke.
As always it’s a great read, so head on over and have your say.
