Yeah, more Star Wars stuff

Watching the original three movies as a stress break from Andor. Plus, I had a bunch of calls and stuff to do today so have had them running in the background. Questions have occurred to me...

Who the heck trained Luke?

He was with Ben/Obi Wan for, at most, a couple weeks. He was with Yoda for a few days, judging by what was going on with Leia and Han at the same time. When he went back to train with Yoda, Yoda died like 10 minutes after he got there.

They weren’t going to train Anakin because he was too old at ~9. Then, Mr. Chosen One was Obi Wan’s padawan till he was late teens/early twenties.

Obi Wan was Qui Gon’s padawan from childhood until his late teens/early twenties.

Obviously, Jedi training takes a long time.

I get that by the time of A New Hope, the lack of Jedis was a bit of an emergency, so I can see the training being expedited... but we are talking probably less than a month of formal training, total.

Even assuming Luke did some serious self-study in his off time (between movies), that’s still not formal training. Yet he is well matched fighting Vader. Hmmm.

Bothers me, this does.

1. Because....'the Force'.

You know, like Spock and tri-corders, it move the plot along while hoping that you don't ask questions.

2. From the expanded universe:

Essentially he was self taught and "force ghost" taught by ObiWan. Luke travelled to the site of former Jedi temples collecting all of the books and knowledge he could.Those books were passed on to Rey in the final trilogy. Luke even build his own lightsaber on Tattooine between Empire and Jedi. It's believed that the kyber crystal he used for his lightsaber was the same kyber crystal that had been in Qui-Gon's lightsaber. Obi-Wan had saved his lightsaber after TPM.

3. Aahhh. I forgot about Force Ghosts

Thank you! It was annoying the heck out of me.

I’m off work until March and am already on my way to losing my mind.

5. Here's a picture of the "sacred Jedi texts" from the Last Jedi movie

To be fair, what you pointed out was a huge point loophole for Star Wars fans for years.
