Purple_Tentacle Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 why didn't yoda say " hey luke the emperor can shoot some nasty lightning from his fingertips so, like, be careful n stuff " or even give him some pointers on avoiding it. when it came time to kick the emperors ass Luke thought that Palpatine was defenceless, he even threw his saber away, he was totally unprepared. nice work yoda, i'm sure all that ballancing rocks business came in handy, Not. luke was never 'calm' or 'at peace', he was a pissed off little padawan and he nearly got himself killed, thanks to yoda.

nova_wolf Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Reasons why: Artictic License Atmosphere Suspense Shock Leaving Luke to figure this stuff out himself If he was aware, he would have nailed both him and Vader, and so Anankin Skywalker would not have fulfilled the prophesy and brought balance to the Force It looked SWEET Emperor would have looked a ***** if he got easily taken out by whipper snapper who was a few mitochondria sort of being a Jedi Knight Better ending More emotion Do I REALLY have to go on... Come on! It was one of the best sequences in the entire OT, and your dissing it... I think your a PT fan aren't you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple_Tentacle Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 you are saying yoda witheld important information inorder to create MORE danger for luke ? yes, i do understand this is a movie and you need tense action scenes, i'm just saying that luke was totally unprepared to fight the emperor, he was set to fight vader...maybe yoda knew that without vader the emperor would eventually die and with him the Sith. SO he sent in luke as an assassin to kill vader, and it was a suicide mission. but then vader pipes up and saves the day. DID yoda know that Anakin would kill the emperor ? i don't think so IMO. yoda's goal was to take vader out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 What if Yoda knew exactly what would happen and needed Luke to underestimate the Emperor, so Vader could save his son, redeem himself, and become Anakin once again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_sleeper Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 ok, here's my Yoda question. When Luke ran off to save han and leia on Bespin, why didn't Yoda go to at least help. Things would've been very different. Together, maybe they could've stopped vader. I mean, it's not like Yoda was thinking, "Have to stay alive I do, to complete the boy's training." He didn't complete the training anyway. Personally, I think Yoda and Ben were both just bitter. They wanted nothing more than revenge. For example (keep in mind I'm paraphrasing, not quoting): Ben's Ghost: He's evil, Luke. Kill him. Luke: But there IS good in him. Ben: Kill him. Luke: He's my father. Ben: Kill him. Luke: But I-- Ben: Blast, boy, just Kill the overgrown mechanical freak! He made me and yoda look like total goons! Jeeeeeze, boy! Luke: uhhhhhhh...... ok, maybe I don't have the EXACT words right, but that's what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hekx Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Yoda only used the absorb in EPII, which is meant to be before the events in ROTJ, but was filmed afterwards. Luke wasn't a fully trained Jedi in ROTJ, only when he peacefully withdrew his weapon and stood for what he believed in, did he give himself to the lightside. If he had absorbed the shots, and eliminated the Emperor, he may have been overcome withanger and become 'Dark Lord Emperor Luke' Yoda was too stubborn and selfish to share his tricks of the trade with Luke.

Pedro The Hutt Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Yoda would have shared them if Luke had stayed to complete his training.a And both Obi-Wan and Yoda wanting revenge is sort of wrong... concidering Jedi are supposed to never even think of such things. Yoda didn't go along to Bespin simply because he's now a crippled form of what he was back in Episode II, also he wanted Luke to stay after all... I can't really imagine him going "Go along with you I will" after all that he tried and said to make him stay. And last but not least... isn't an X-Wing designed to carry just one person?

When Luke ran off to save han and leia on Bespin, why didn't Yoda go to at least help. well lets see for one thing luke left in a ONE person fighter (T-65 X-Wing) so i don't think there would have been any room for yoda save they booted r2 outta his socket and i don't think yoda could breath in vaccuum even with the force behind him so there is why yoda didn't go with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark jedi 8 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 he coulda had an oxygen tank or breath mask in there in case he landed on a world without oxygen on it, so yoda could have used it. if he had one, which he should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro The Hutt Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 And just why would Yoda even want to go along after trying everything to make him stay?

Jo Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 well, IMO, yoda didnt tell him S*** because luke was a giddy,stubborn, anxious farmboy who thought a lightsaber was cool, so if he knew how do do all this, he would have just been having fun, and the darkside would have overcome him to the point of no return. messing with the emporer and killing him slowly would have been fun and evil all at once..
