However, going by the prequels and Clone Wars’ approach, Luke’s training was laughably simple. While the movies acknowledge that Luke’s training was not complete and that he was “not a Jedi yet”, Skywalker was powerful enough in Return of the Jedi to defeat Darth Vader.
From carrying Yoda behind his back to lifting rocks and an X-Wing, Luke’s training montage in The Empire Strikes Back was enough to sell that Luke was now closer to becoming a Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi. That change in the Star Wars power scale was followed by a change in the Jedi lore as a whole, including how Jedi are trained and what even means to be a Jedi.įor example, Luke’s Jedi training in the original trilogy was limited to an undisclosed but surely not-that-long period with Yoda in Dagobah. From Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s fight against Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace to Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith’s Battle of the Heroes, the prequel-era Jedi seemed almost superheroes compared to the original trilogy’s Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Luke Skywalker. Obviously, the fact that moviemaking technology had advanced allowed George Lucas to depict the Jedi in a way that he never could during the originals.
