I am sorry but that doesn't make sense. I don't see why would leaving something to chance be better than controlling it. Jedi trained from the early age for thousands of years and yet they manged to be more than decent people (at least that's what they show us). In fact, by just letting him deal with it by himself would increase the chance of him becoming arrogant and misuse his powers. Far more than by carefully raising him in a good spirit (to be selfless, humble etc.) and to teach him to use his powers for good purposes.
On the other hand, practically speaking, Ben and Yoda pretty much saw him as a tool to defeat the Emperor. I just don't see the reason why they chose to throw him in with a few months of training instead of an entire life of training.
None of it makes sense, nor will it ever. You're putting ten times more thought into the story than Lucas did. He isn't a good writer, he made up characters to sell toys, and thought up (and altered) the story on the fly.
You won't be able to make this work because it doesn't. The story was altered long after the earlier parts were written & filmed - by a very poor writer. No way you solve this Rubik's Cube.
The story is contaminated.
Well you are partially right, but we have to admit that this thing (along with many others) became a plot hole only after the rest of the episodes were released. If you look at the first film alone, it isn't a problem any more. So maybe I somehow understand why you only like the first film and not the rest.
