3. Luke Ignores all Yodas Advice - Return Of The Jedi
Luke comes to Dagobah in search of a wise master to train him in the ways of the Force. What he gets is a crazy frog who sounds suspiciously like Miss Piggy. And even though Yoda repeatedly proves that appearances are misleading, and that he is in fact a great Jedi Master with knowledge and skills that make Luke look like a kid trying to remember which end of a sword is pointy, Luke refuses ever to adjust this perception. Yoda tells him not to take his weapons into the scary cave? Luke takes his weapons into the scary cave. Yoda tells him not to give up on his ship? Luke gives up on his ship. Yoda warns him that, if he goes to help his friends, hell destroy all that theyve fought for? Luke goes to help his friends anyway. And its important to remember that, if Luke hadnt gone and helped his friends, Lando would have arranged for everyone to escape smoothly, and the outcome would have been the same except they wouldnt have had to go back for Luke.
