I am referring to his training with a lightsaber.


The Empire Strikes Back takes place three years after the first Star Wars. Presumably Luke spends a lot of that time standing in front of a training droid getting shot in the chest just like he did on the Millennium Falcon on the way to Alderaan.


In A New Hope he only uses the Force once, isn't even sure how he did, and it was basically him focusing super hard on a hole in the ground. He's told the Force is real and spends the following weeks/months thinking Obi-Wan might be kind of crazy until he hears his voice in his head. Rey is told the Force is real and uses it to mind control a Stormtrooper and defeat a trained Jedi/Sith hybrid maybe 24 hours later.


We didn't even see Luke mind control someone until four years after he was told of the Force's existence, and after training on his own for three years with a few days/weeks of master course training with the former baddest Jedi to ever walk the universe.


Why are YOU lying on the original films?
