And his anti-Jedi comments have shown a sort of "external" understanding of the Jedi (not an incorrect one though). It may be his parents or one of them were Force users who came into conflict with the Jedi (but not necessarily Sith), and he may have been rejected by the Jedi testing (which I wouldn't call a "failed" Jedi, myself, because he never was one).Like I said, rainbows and flowers. It always worked out for Luke. It always went well for Luke. He always ultimately had the right idea. Because Legends was basically slightly above-average fanfiction for the most part, only instead of self-inserts, people inserted themselves into SW characters for the most part.Not in current lore, no. Basically there are three situations for leaving the Jedi order that don't involve falling to the Dark Side.1) You fail the test to be recruited by the Jedi (usually taken as a very small child) and/or your parents won't give you up and the Jedi can't wheedle and manipulate them into doing it. As such the Jedi seem to just assume you won't amount to much, Force-wise, without training (which does reflect thousands of years of experience, to be fair), and leave you to it.2) You hit the test to be a Padawan and fail it (depending on sources anything up to the majority of recruits fail here). In this case, in theory you can go home, but given you were essentially taken by colonizers aged like 4, and raised in their culture, you probably don't want to. So you join the Jedi Service Corps. They don't take away your Force powers or anything, but you don't get a lightsaber, and you're just trained to be an engineer or guard or doctor or floorsweeper or whatever for the Jedi. You still get to prance around in a semi-Jedi outfit, it seems. (This is fairly recent lore, like 5 years old maybe.)3) You pass and become a Jedi Padawan at least, but you quit - this is very rare and does seem to make the Jedi mad, but there's no sign they exactly punish you for it - in the cases we know of they sort of just sulk about it and sometimes let people back in. IIRC Vernestra Rwoh may even have quit the order at one point early on before rejoining (I might be confusing her with another High Republic era Jedi though).</blockquote>
