#N:hp-pcd:24800004:000:446 hp-pcd!john Jun 14 19:13:00 1983 Something that has bothered me ever since ESB came out was whether or not Darth Vader knew about Yoda. It would seem that if he did then he would have tried to destroy him, and yet he has never even mentioned his name. When Darth first fought with Luke he was surprised by his powers and said that "Obi-Wan has taught you well" as if there were no other way he could have been trained. Comments ?

Darth Vader probably did not know about Yoda. In one of the Dagoba(sp?) scenes of RotJ, Obi-wan's ghost tells Luke that it was he who had taught Darth but his training was not good enough to dissuade Darth from the dark side. Presumably only the real master, Yoda could impart enough training and philosophy for a Jedi to resist the dark side.
