[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 7308090, member: 5143"] I've explained this in previous posts, but to summarize. That was the Luke from the first 2 movies. In Return of the Jedi he shows up and his calm, confident, intelligent. He plans the entire rescue of Han multiple layers deep. Han comments how Luke has changed so much, he couldn't imagine the old Luke planning that. It's been 3 years since the previous movie and fandom has tried to figure out exactly what happened to Luke in that time but it seems VERY important, since he is still pretty much a whiny farmboy at the end of ESB but his Force power, his maturity and his mentality have changed entirely in RotJ. He realizes he needs to face Vader and the Emperor calmly. He allows himself to be captured because he's now trusting the Force. He believes that it won't let him come to harm. He also believes his father can be turned. The Emperor is very good at saying the right things to get under people's skin so he taunt him repeatedly. Luke doesn't fall for it over and over again until he realizes that his friends all might die. That's his one weakness. He cares about them too much. That drives him over the edge and he attacks. Because of his fear for his friends he ALMOST goes too far. He gets angry. But before he can cross the threshold, he realizes what he's done and he pulls back. I've always gotten from that moment that he finally faced his weakness, his anger and his fear and finally beaten it. That's why he declares himself a Jedi on the spot. He's had the breakthrough he needs to officially decide that he is a full fledged Jedi, no longer swayed by fear and anger. [/QUOTE]
