Star Wars' Yoda training Luke Skywalker by riding on his back and making him do a hand-stand.
Summary When considering Luke Skywalker’s Jedi training in Star Wars canon, one would more than likely think of the iconic image of him doing a handstand on Dagobah in Episode V, while Yoda is off to the side watching his progress. While that is, indeed, one of the most widely recognized frames from the movie, most fans may not know that Luke was only doing this particular training exercise for the opposite reason they would think.
Close Within that time, Luke undergoes much of the same training fans saw him do in The Empire Strikes Back, including and especially the iconic headstand. As Luke is doing this training exercise - for two hours - Yoda makes a comment about how he’s always complaining, and that standing on his head will ‘soften’ it. To that, Luke responds by asking if the only reason he was doing the handstand was to ‘soften’ his head, which basically means Yoda made him do that because Luke was annoying him.
Luke Skywalker’s Iconic Training Image Only Exists Because Yoda Finds Him Annoying Upon seeing Luke doing this training exercise for the first time, Star Wars fans assuredly assumed that Yoda was teaching Luke how to find balance in the Force, and that the cosmic balance would help him balance his body in that position for a long period of time.
The Truth of How Yoda Trained Luke Redefines How Luke Trained Rey Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi Knowing that Yoda made Luke stand on his head as a way to mess with him for being annoying utterly redefines how Luke trained Rey in The Last Jedi. Luke messed with Rey constantly during her training, and while many assumed that was due to the fact that Luke had all but lost faith in the mission of the Jedi, it was actually because that’s exactly how Yoda trained him.
