Most certainly how to control the high ground. Yoda taught Luke how to run, jump, and to beware of seagulls.

One thing for sure, Yoda and Obi-Wan taught Luke how to live like a hermit on an Outer Rim world, while hiding from evil Sith Lords that rule the galaxy.

8:42 I'd argue impatience and anger don't necessarily lead to the dark side - it's a lack of support, and a cult that denies emotions and attachments while placing a rigid code on its members that turns natural emotions into pathways to the dark side (e.g. instead of denying that the anger or impatience is there, supporting the person and helping them would solve a lot of problems down the line).

Luke, Ahsoka, Kanan, & Qui Gon Jinn all found balance. Something that most Jedi could never attain.

So if a Jedi is supposed to do as the force says...aren't they technically just acting on impulse

I particularly enjoyed this video. Great job! You touched on a lot of things that I've been thinking about with the Jedi.

He clearly learned about High Ground. Skywalker's School For Gifted Younglings is built on the high ground.

A crash course to being a Jedi knight. And maybe from part of their failure.

Yoda: "He has no patience."
Kenobi: "He will learn patience."
Me: "You seem impatient, Master Yoda. Practice not what you preach, HMMMM?"

I think this is one area where the originals came up short. There's no reason they couldn't have just made each of the movies a half hour longer so they could have more of Luke's training. The prequels showed us how young the Jedi began training, so to see Luke defeat Vader after only training a short time as a young adult needed more explanation. I'm sure had the movies been made in order; they would have had to go deeper into the training of Luke based on the audience already knowing what it takes to make a Jedi.

Seeing as how every time something happens in the Mandalorian (or Mandalorian2😆) that fans call a plot hole or something similar, it ends up being a plot hook. So my theory is it’s a test to see if Grogu chooses family (mithril chainmail) or power (lightsaber) tells him he can only choose one. Might just be a way to see what kind of person Grogu is. Like choose family in the past and it worked out so he knows that connections are not necessary a bad thing for Jedi like him. But someone who chooses power sounds more like a sith to me. But who knows we will see tomorrow.

As the years have gone by in my life, I've seen, sometimes good and sometimes bad, parallels between the Jedi training and the training of a parent to their child. Sometimes the parent and their experience is a wonderful thing to pass on but sometimes the parent and/or child are outright wrong. This leads to the usual conflict of the child rebelling against what the parent is trying to teach. Most of the time the correct path is somewhere in between the two sides but pride and arrogance get in the way of both sides. One trying to stay the tried and known path and the other wanting to try new things outside of their experience, forgetting that the parent may have some of those experiences when they were younger and assume the parent just will never understand. This is the mistake of Obi-Won and Yoda in believing in Luke and subsequently, Luke and Grogu.

4:26 Umm, borderline evil? Their mission at this point was to deliver an extremely sensitive message to the Rebel Alliance which could help them free the galaxy of Imperial Rule. To do this, they had to escape the planet through an Imperial controlled town. A Jedi Mind Trick, on a scale of what would be considered ethical or unethical actions to slip past Imperial troops would be pretty dang low on the unethical list IMO. In any conflict, the opposing wills will try to exploit weaknesses of the other party to gain an advantage. He could have used his superior fighting abilities to cause permanent physical damage or death, or he could temporarily make the Stormtrooper think it was okay to let them pass. Short of appealing to the Stormtrooper's humanity to let them pass to save the galaxy from the Empire (which likely would not have worked), using a Jedi Mind Trick is the most humane thing Obiwan could have done.

[HistoryPoliticsFiction]

In reference to Obi-wan and his vague explanation of the Force as well his questionable ethics concerning the Mind Trick, another factor should be considered: Kenobi finds himself trying to recruit a promising young man who is practically an adult. Traditionally the Jedi grabbed up younglings at a very young age. I say grabbed because they weren't really given a choice, generally neither were their parents. When trying to recruit an adult or even someone as young as 10 like Anakin excitement and adventure are factors. Interesting enough despite Yoda's low opinion of Luke the young Jedi was also guided by a sense of duty and justice. He originally refused the ways of the Jedi despite clearly wanting adventure. He wanted to join the Imperial Academy. His sense of duty to his uncle and aunt who had raised him outweighed the ties he felt to an unknown father and his father's friend. It wasn't until both of his adopted parents were killed that he became open to the idea of joining Kenobi. In response Obi-wan showed Luke some cool stuff not only to get him hooked but to also give him some basics in the Force.

These things have always been a failing of both the Jedi and Sith, never understanding that there are two sides of anything. and that to have true balance is to accept these differences.
It was only the Je'daii Order, and the Gray-Jedi that truly sought to learn and understand both sides of the force. And thus, find and strike the balance between.

[TheOuterRim_G]

I made a video about this as well. It makes more sense to me now.

[theawesomeman]

I would like to point out that the mediocre lightsaber fights in episode 9, between Rey and Kylo Ren, was all Luke's fault. He never taught them proper sword fighting onscreen.

[roger]

Luke always be watchin da skies for dem seagulls.

"Seagulls... stop it now!"

[zoron]

the problem with bad visions of the future is that trying to change it is what always causes it

[PsPmoddedOUT]

I think the reason Ezra Bridger was such a powerful and wise jedi because he didnt grow up in the dogma of "masters" he followed the force itself.
