“  HE BROUGHT HIM A GIFT   “     ahsoka bestows unto the jedi a gift, from mandalorian to foundling ------ nay, to padawan. they share a look of great concern, yet her smile never falters. for she knows, luke skywalker,  son to her old master, would not shy away from matters of the heart as the order did. thus, she hands him the gift with confidence, places it in the palm of his gloved, mechanical hand. and the weight of the gift feels heavier than anticipated.  he holds it tightly, testing the heaviness with a few shakes of his hand. great conflict flickers ‘cross his features, and ahsoka even takes note, for she comments thereafter :  so much like your father.  luke, concerned with grogu’s lack of heart in his training, emits great sadness of his own. he holds in his heart a great selfish need to forgo the ways taught to both him and ahsoka, to honor a new code.  his father, too, held tightly to his chest his emotions, wore them boldly in spite of a council that told him otherwise. both ahsoka and mandalorian entrusted him with grogu’s path, and he would not lead the child astray as it was his promise.

note that here is where luke must reflect on how to proceed with his teachings  ---- thus far, he has passed on exactly what he has learned unto grogu, allowing the child to remember the same training he received at the temple before the purge. however, he is presented his first and only opportunity to shift the training. should he continue to attempt to teach his first student the ways in which he and ahsoka were taught ---- to not allow one’s heart to dictate their path, trust only in the force and abandon all attachments? or could he allow grogu to choose a path for himself without fear of attachment? could he be the jedi master to preserve all balance and peace in the galaxy while rebuilding, reshaping the code for a new generation of jedi?  

𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐑 : Good! Your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your father's place at my side! Luke looks at his father's mechanical hand, then to his own mechanical, black-gloved hand, and realizes how much he is becoming like his father. He makes the decision for which he has spent a lifetime in preparation. Luke steps back and hurls his lightsaber away.

though not yet formally introduced to the teachings of jedi trials, luke was tested separately, unknowingly. it wasn’t until his dagobah training with master yoda did he understand the complexity of the force and the trials to knighthood. facing vader without proper training was true folly, but it was not a test of courage or strength. rather ... it was a test of spirit. every time luke would have the opportunity to face vader, the man who supposedly killed his father, the force tested luke’s ability to vanquish this gnawing urge of revenge that burrowed itself deep inside his heart. it was a great darkness, one that mirrored his father’s urge for revenge against the death of his mother, luke’s grandmother, shmi. the force tested luke’s ability in resistance ---- it tested his ability to resist succumbing to this painstakingly present desire for revenge against the man who killed his father.
