Why Did Yoda Hide Luke on Tatooine? #starwars

[vedanshkurup]

He knew that Vader would never go there coz of sand.

Kinda crazy that it took the entire Jedi order being massacred for yoda to realize a loving family is important to child development.

[Ash]

Love does make someone stronger which is why Luke became so awesome because he was filled with love

[bassboi]

That contradicts the "he is too old" line from Yoda

[cecilrhodes]

If he sent Luke somewhere else, Vader and Sidious would've eventually sensed his presence. Tattooine was perfect because Vader wouldn't go there unless he had no other choice.

Through all the expanded lore and stuff that's no longer cannon, I got the feeling Owen while fond of Luke actually feared him. Aunt Beru was the loving one. Even still though Luke had an incredibly difficult life on Tatoonine. Uncle Owen was kind of a stern taskmaster and Luke couldn't get an honest answer about his parentage. Imagine growing up knowing your caretakers are keeping giant secrets from you. That they refuse to answer or they lie to you about everything related to your past. Now Imagine that through some way you can't explain you just know they're lying and that's where Luke's resentment and restlessness comes from. He has an innate drive to seek out the truth of his existence.

Owen was a hard ass but it was because he *did* love Luke.

"Until the time was right" dude was almost an adult about to joing the fkn ACADEMY. Talk about "right timing"

[lccody]

They knew Anakin didn't like sand

[classicnosh]

Yoda (Regarding Infant Luke): He shall be trained when the time is right! -- Yoda (Regarding Older Luke): He's too old to begin training. -- Kenobi: Damn it, Yoda! Make up your mind!

[apollyon_]

Also Yoda: "he's too old!"

[daanvos]

And later yoda complained that he was too old

[tubetop]

It was a old thinking. Boys can tough it out, while girls can't. Imagine if Luke grew up as a Prince and Leia was a farm girl?

[ElTwOJaY]

Kenobi: But master Yoda, Anakin turned because he didn’t get enough dogma! That’s all his son needs, lots and lots of dogma!
Yoda: 🤨 learned nothing, have you?

[DDuMas]

I always assumed Luke wasn't trained early because the force activity would have brought unwanted attention. Luke was born as Order 66 was well under way. He would have had to have been raised on Dagobah.

[ichitoburrito]

This makes sense because, even though the Jedi are considered 'good', living from birth in such a culture as the Jedi lived could be polarizing and the draw of the opposing dark side could become more alluring as Luke got older. Living in a loving, 'normal' family developed an innate sense of right and wrong without having it drilled into him by a 'teacher'. This self built morality made it easier for Luke to chose the light side, even when the dark side could have suited his 'means to an end' at some points in the story. It also enabled him to learn to grieve much better in his losses and accept loss better, whereas Anakin never learned to grieve properly, leading him to be possessive and obsessive over Padme after his mother died.

After yoga's failure, don't think Obiwan should be listening to anything he says.

[pattgsm]

So Yoda not only scraps over 2000 yrs of tradition but comes to this realization somewhere around his 875th yr.? 🤔🤔🤔

[Bumbulers_Bricks]

Yoda finally saw the errors in the Jedi ways.

[silentchevalier]

Yep. Because Yoda finally understands that he was a reason why the Jedi fell.
