And where did he pick up all those moves he used in Return of the Jedi that he didn’t learn from Yoda in esb? I believe he… Dare I even say it… Figured them out himself?
such as? i can only think of the mind trick that was in the movie to basically tell the audience that Luke had grown from novice in SW to master in RotJ. other than that…
Maybe “new skills” isn’t correct, but enhanced surely is. He made a few impressive jumps in esb sure, but those were some pretty fancy acrobatics he pulled off on the sail barge that in the movies were unprecedented. Not to mention how much better he is with a Lightsaber. And he deflects laser bolts on endor with ease, something I don’t think yoda could hasn’t taught him. And he senses vaders presence/mindset. So new skills include force choke and mind control, but all old skills are also super enhanced and polished all the sudden with no extra training besides practicing ON HIS OWN.
right. i have no problem with that, because he had been exposed to everything and had sort of been given instructions on how to do everything. so ‘practice makes perfect’ + his affinity with the force growing steadily = how he evolved from TESB to RotJ. there were a few years in between the two movies i think so everything’s perfectly believable imo.
