[QUOTE="Jack Haggerty, post: 257827, member: 89"] Be careful, there... comparing Anakin and Luke is like comparing apples and oranges. They are two very different people under very different circumstances. One grew up a slave, the other a moisture farmer. Luke was eight years older than Anakin when he began his Jedi training. Anakin had at least 10 straight years of Jedi training with all the resources of the Jedi Temple. Luke had a couple days with Obi-wan, and maybe a week with Yoda with all the resources of a tramp frieghter and a swamp. Luke failed to retain his emotional control as a Jedi time and time and time again... When Obi-wan dies, when he enters the Eeeevil Cave on Dagobah, when he runs off to "rescue" Han, Leia and Chewie from Cloud City, when he assaults Jabba's palace to "rescue" Han again, when he confronts Vader and the Emperor on the second Death Star. Luke is just losing his control in a different manner and for a different reason. And by the end, he regains control, instead of falling to the Dark Side. And the New Jedi Order he builds in the novels is very different from the Old School Jedi Order. And if you think Qui-gon would have done a better job... Look how Obi-wan turned out. :) [/QUOTE]
