    Luke did not train Rey, so he cannot lose her.

    I still have no idea what you are talking about. You claim "some people" know that Rey is really a Skywalker. Who are these "some people"? Where is the evidence? A YouTube video with extremely flimsy leaps of logic does not count as evidence. The only evidence we have are the quotes from the creators and the movies and literature.

    Yoda trained Luke for how long? A week? Two weeks? No one knows. But it wasn't that much either.

    I think it were two weeks. Rey stayed at least 3 days. So yes, I don't see much of a difference here too.

    he's just incredibly awkward. is was an unintentionally backhanded compliment.
    if he'd wanted to insult her he could have done much better. XD

    someone who is himself so relentlessly subdued and humiliated by Rey is hardly expressing hatred.
    and you who love parallels so much should be able to see this scene has a pretty amazingly obvious literary precedent in Pride and Prejudice.
    which is a hackneyed romance, by the way. if that matters. : D

    It is canon that Dagobah and Ahch-to are "out of the normal time", so maybe Luke and Rey stayed a long time here.

    Did Luke passed on his knowledge to Rey?
    No.
    So what is Yoda talking about?.

    ---------------------------------------------

    In those books there was nothing that girl Rey already does not possess (so its not about knowledge its about something else, despite that books contain valuable knowledge to Rey since Rey saved the books , so its not about knowledge)

    I can't be what she needs me to be..(Luke thinks its about training and heroism and knows he can't be good enough for this)

    Headed my words not, did you? So Yoda is clearly not asking for Luke to be anymore teacher to Rey..!.But to understand something else.

    A need in front of your nose. " So this what Rey posses which is not in the books, is manifested in need she has al lthe time .And the thing she needs most desperately is to find who are her parents whom she waited entire her life, to find what is her place in all of this. Also Yoda knows Luke is gona die, so definitely Yoda is not talking about teaching.

    than he goes--
    Pass on what you have learned.
    Strength, mastery. But weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is.

    Wait, again, what knowledge to pass when the time to pass anything by classic teachings have already passed away for Luke, entire Ahch-To days of Rey were about Luke the hermit, and now he is gona die.Yoda must know this, he is One with the Force. So Yoda is telling Luke something about Rey, something she needs, something in front of his nose, something that he must understand about Rey!


    Luke, we are what they grow beyond- Again , Luke hasn't teached Rey anything significant trough classic mentorship. Yet Luke is what Rey has grown beyond him? But she got almost nothing from his teachings, something a little, but its nothing compared to all the knowledge which Luke possess for sure.Yet Rey is girl that has "grown beyond him", grown on what, certainly not on Luke's knowledge that he teached her.
    In fact the last time they met she kicked his ass after he behaved like a jealous father not like a Master.

    That is the true burden of all masters - Yoda says Luke will acheive his role of mastery, and pass on what he was, everything, without teaching, to a girl that will grow beyond him , and it is a burdeon? What?Yoda knows and says this as a classic teacher .Luke has fulfilled his role, but how?He refused to teach her and will not teach her naymore until he dies.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Luke Skywalker's understanding is growing, however if Yoda would tell him directly who is Rey it will not enable Luke's growth, and path. He must find this all by himself, just like Rey to.

    So this entire Yoda's talk is a riddle.
    And this fact should not surprise us, its Yoda .


    And the Luke understands something crtically important at the end of the film.
    Its obviously Luke has got it about something, and it could be only about the only subject of his talk with Yoda, Rey.
    -there..

    I have no doubt about this, because I'm already heavily disappointed.

    @McDiarmid, you should at least quote Yoda the right way and not regarding to your need. This is the right order of Yoda's speech:

    YODA: "Oh, read them, have you? Page-turners they were not. Yes, yes, yes. Wisdom they held, but that library contained nothing that the girl Rey does not already possess. Skywalker, still looking to the horizon. Never here, now, hmm? The need in front of your nose."
    LUKE: "I was weak. Unwise."
    YODA: "Lost Ben Solo you did. Lose Rey we must not."
    LUKE: "I can't be what she needs me to be."
    YODA: "Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength. Mastery. But weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters."

    So let's break it down, even though the movie already did this.

    "[...]but that library contained nothing that the girl Rey does not already possess."
    This mainly is a foreshadowing for the ending scene where we see that Rey took the books with her.

    "[...]Skywalker, still looking to the horizon. Never here, now, hmm? The need in front of your nose."
    Yoda is talking about action. All life long Luke just waited, he never took action. Only by the help of Obi-Wan and later Rey he did something. The need in front of his nose his is participation in the conflict.

    "I can't be what she needs me to be."
    Rey needed a mentor and a father figure. But Luke thinks he's bad at teaching (because of Ben) and even worse at being a father because he never had a child.

    "Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength. Mastery. But weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters."
    This is pretty much self-explaining.

    Luke is pretty much a jerk then. Rey is his daughter and he kills himself. Sounds about right... Luke = father of the year.

    It's not. Yoda always was straight to the point in every movie he appeared in. You just want it to be a riddle. In the OT, Yoda was the one solving the riddles.
    LUKE: "Is Darth Vader my father?"
    YODA: "Your father he is."

    I would not argue is this interpretation correct or not, but its than unncessary insult to Luke by the film. Luke found a way to curageously face Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader alone, two of the most powerful Sith ever. He also had strength to see Light where there was only little chance of it, and brought to death of last Sith and redemption of Vader. He entered Jabba's palace and faced death in Rancor's pitt, and made a risky but clever plan to destroy Jabba and save his friends. He risked everything for his friends on Bespin.
    Everything this was than, if this what you said is true, undone by the Last Jedi. And for what reason?

    Now in the Last Jedi he is hermit on an island because he failed to see light in his nephew, and after failure abandoned fight.Rey needed to kick his ass in duel for Luke not to start reasoning jet,but to became even more persistent and try to burn it all down like maniac , and than Yoda himself sent by the Force intervened and tell him that Rey needs him to fight?
    So that was all about? He was hermit who lost curriage and will to fight and just at the last moment after persuading even by physical force and the Force itself he decided to use his obviously somewhere learned impressive skill to bilocate on the other part of the galaxy and remotely participate in fight?

    Why all of this if he will die anyway and Rey is not related to him? Why didn't he joined Rey and died like man in the fight, let say against Snoke?Like Obi-Wan?
    Instead last time with Rey he reacted on Rey/Kylo touch like jelaous old grampa"#ain't fuckin' on my island" and than had a fight in which Rey beaten him, and they separated in disagreement, in fact she took a Jedi texts for him not to burn them in his madness.

    That possibility is than such unncessary injustice made to Luke in TLJ that if there is reason I am blind, its is because I can't accept what they have done to Luke Skywalker and never will accept it. Star Wars is lost for me if this was all about.

    All decisions which were made by Luke aren't actually Luke's if you think about it. The only decision he made by himself was helping Han and Leia in TESB.

    [​IMG]

    He pretty much taught her what Yoda was explaining. Rey has seen and witnessed a failed Luke Skywalker. => Her most important lesson. She doesn't need to find a hero, she has to be her own hero.

    Yoda is talking about the past. he is reminding Luke of what he told him in the past.
    Luke is complaining that he was a failure and Yoda is telling him that's all part of growing toward wisdom--for Luke's sake.

    Whether or not it was Luke's decision or not, he still showed bravery to do it
