Moses was about 40 when God got in touch via the burning bush and told him to free the Isrealites. I mean surely YHWH would have wanted them freed earlier, right? Well, there is a time for every purpose under heaven as they say, or a time for every purpose of the force. | |

| May 16, 2016 at 16:55 | comment | added | Ellesedil | Actually, Luke was using the Force during the battle of Yavin. He shut down the targeting computer and used the Force to aim his torpedoes, just as Kenobi advised him to do. Having said that, Kenobi could have taken the time immediately after the Death Star's destruction to send Skywalker to Dagobah. But he didn't, which meant Skywalker stuck with the Rebellion for a while longer. If there's an answer for why he didn't, I'd like to hear it. | |

Added explanation why this is not a duplicate. Added explanations why answers to that question don't answer this one.

| May 16, 2016 at 16:36 | comment | added | RichS | @Richard The answer that "this is the first time that Luke has meditated and the first time that he's consciously accessed the Force" doesn't make sense. Luke wasn't meditating when Obi-Wan spoke to him during the assault on the first Death Star. If Obi-Wan can speak to Luke during the heat of the battle, Obi-Wan can certainly speak to Luke 10 minutes later after he's blasted away the Death Star. | |
| May 16, 2016 at 8:39 | comment | added | Valorum | Sorry, but this is a dupe of the linked question. DVKs answer (and mine) offer a wide range of reasons why Obi-Wan chose to appear then, notably that this is the first time that Luke has meditated and the first time that he's consciously accessed the Force | |

| May 16, 2016 at 8:07 | comment | added | Kalissar | I think the answer can be found in the question you linked. I'd say it's a dupe. Not sure enough to VTC though. | |
