JKL wasn't a Jedi after ESB

Just to add to the Jedi not rebel debate and future GL pondering, when Luke returns to see Hoda in RotJ, we learn that he "must face Vader, only then a Jedi will you be".

After ESB Luke is not a Jedi, although I'm not sure how hed be described at that point.

Anyway maybe that offers a glimmer of hope for a GL Vader and Luke to come.

    Yoda is a massive hypocrite, he was grand master of the order before he even met a sith


    yoda didn't say that to become a jedi one must face a sith


    He said he had to face vader, who is a sith
    Even if I'm being pedantic, that's a requirement he pulled out of nowhere, probably more of a philosophical statement than a factual one


    I think It’s more like “you have to face your fears” than “you need to face a sith to become a jedi, even though the jedi order had for a long time lots of jedi masters that never faced one”


    That's a better way of looking at it, fits better with the idea of jedi avoiding conflict

    Jedis are supposed to oppose the dark side. Vader is a Sith who is related to Luke. So to become a Jedi, he must overcome the dark side within him.
    I guess.


    Your weapons. You will not need them.

    Don't get me started on Yoda. That fool was a liar and a coward.

    “Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.”. – Yoda.

    Anakin and Ben Solo came back

    “In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.” – Yoda

    Seems we all remember him hiding on a planet and fleeing there in Episode 3 after getting beat by Palpatine.

    “At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was!“ – Yoda

    We all know how that went.

    Well he was 900 years old. Some of the brain power was lacking.
  • To comment on the OP thread title...

    Apparently he wasn’t a Rebel either

    It wasn't about facing a sith or even Vader. It was about facing himself. Vader was just the manifestation of his own fears.
  • It wasnt because he needs to face a sith to be a Jedi but he must overcome fear. Vader in that scene was a representation of his fear that he'd follow in his father's footsteps.

    They already pretty much said they just put whatever tags they want so it won’t break the game. It is the reason GL Rey isn’t a Jedi in this game.


    She's all the Jedi...except for that CG one. :D
  • He also didnt wear that outfit in ESB, he became fetish Luke in ROTJ, wearing his black suit and handcuffs ! After playing with his swords with his daddy in his gimp suit, he became a jedi (also confirmed by the movie title, Return of the Jedi)

    So guessing this journey ends with him putting on his outfit and becoming Jedi Knight Luke, from return if the jedi not from ESB Luke

    Hope that makes sense

    You might want to rethink the title of your post. If he wasn't a jedi after ESB than he was a jedi before or he was never jedi.

    Perhaps, the title should be Luke wasnt a jedi until the after events of ROTJ
