10 Star Wars Fan Theories That Make Too Much Sense To Ignore

It's generally considered that Luke Skywalker is one of the greatest Jedi Knights of all time, however it wasn't always this way. Anakin Skywalker was once considered too old to be trained by Qui-Gon at just nine years old, and yet Luke was almost double that when he first learned about the Force. Immediately, he was at a disadvantage.

Even by the end of The Empire Strikes Back, Luke was very much a beginner. This all changed by the beginning of Return of the Jedi, however. By this time he had become nothing short of a Jedi Master.

He couldn't have ultimately defeated the Emperor if he wasn't far more skilled than before, and the only way he could have gotten this good would be to train with a true Jedi between the two movies. The manner of his conversations on Dagobah suggested that he hadn't seen either Yoda or Obi-Wan at all in that time, so who could it have been?

Arguably the most compelling answer to this question is Ahsoka Tano. There has always been a question as to what the former Padawan was doing during the original trilogy, and this could fill in a huge gap. Who better to train Luke Skywalker to defeat Anakin than Anakin's own Padawan? Hopefully, there will be some insight into these years in Ahsoka's upcoming solo show on Disney+, and it would make a lot of sense should this be revealed.
