(1) Here is the weapon your dad had when he was killed. (2) The Jedi used them, and now most of them are dead. (3) He watches Obi-Wan die while using one. Not exactly inspiring. | |

Yoda's training would have to start with 'fixing' all of the bad habits I'd taught myself at that point.... argh, take this you pirate, arrrrrrrr "cuts off tree limb" | |

However, by the time Luke leaves Dagobah, he's still had very little lightsaber training (at least what was shown to film audiences)... | |
