If memory serves Obi-Wan trained Luke in SW and then Yoda trains him in ESB…if that’s true that could only mean…

Yes, it does mean it. In both movies Jedi Masters are introduced as crazy old hermits that after their covers get blown up start speaking as mystical leaders. But that’s forgivable in Empire, and happily it’s something that wasn’t used again in the saga, now that I think of it.

I wasn’t being serious dude. Also, Owen called Ben crazy but he never acted that way around Luke before he revealed himself to be a Jedi. He was talking to Luke in their first scene together like he did in their last scene together. He certainly wasn’t throwing Luke’s stuff out of his Speeder while giggling

I don’t know if this movie is going to be a soft rehash or not. I just wished the whole overarching trajectory of the trilogy wasn’t a soft reboot of the political state of the galaxy at the beginning of the OT, but that is what it seems to be: The Jedi gone. An Imperial opressive force. The good guys being underdogs.

If anything the playing ground is pretty even after the destruction of the Hosnian System and Starkiller Base. And before that The First Order was more or less in the same position the Rebels were in the OT.
