Yep. Obi-Wan and Yoda took the first steps by hidding Luke and Leia. Obi-Wan started Luke's training, Yoda filled in the blanks, and Luke's experiences helped him become a Jedi Knight. All the hopes and teachings of the Jedi were placed onto one person. Once Yoda and Obi-Wan had passed on, Luke was responsible for reconstituting the Jedi. Obi-Wan gave him an impossible task, but he was able to turn the darkest Sith towards the light. He was going to sacrifice himself to do so, and Obi-Wan planted that seed at the very beginning. (symbolism) Connection to Vader was critical. Obi-Wan knew that only family could overcome the thick cloud of the darkside. Fighting Vader as a Jedi alone would not help. There needed to be a connection. Obi-Wan never gave up on Anikan, but he did give up reasoning with Vader. It showed at the end of
Revenge of the The Sith. Obi-Wan saw no hope for Vader, but he did see hope for Anikan. Don't fight against the machine, but fight for the man within.
While writting this post, I keep replaying the
Knights of the Old Republic theme song. I believe its called
Bastilla's theme song. I'm not sure.
