Luke was training with Yoda in the woods. As he was leaving to go save Han and Leia, Obi Wan Kenobi says something like "he was our last chance" and then Yoda says something like "no, there is one more."

Was Yoda referring to the chick from The Force Awakens, Rey?

I always thought he was referring to leia?- at that time I'm not sure we knew Leia and Luke were brother and sister

I honestly wonder sometimes how such simple plot points get confused so easily.

How could Leia save everything? I'm doing a rewatch, after seeing Rogue One, starting with Episode I and Leia went to live in royalty after Episode III. She was never trained by or even lived with a Jedi.

Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I've never been into Star Wars but have gotten into more as I got older.

She's Luke's twin sister.

Her father is Darth Vader.

She may have made a better Jedi than Luke because she could contain her emotions through her diplomatic experiences.

Luke didn't train with a jedi until he was 20ish


It wasn't too late for leia. Pretty easy to understand I would think.



Assuming you've seen return of the jedi.

No, he was talking about Vader, who was originally the chosen one.


Spoilers:
















He was the one who killed the Emperor, so he was the one Yoda was referencing whenever he said "There is another" (who could bring balance to the force)

That's an interesting take.... from a certain point of view.

Well Obi-wan knew about Leia, so that exchange is kind of strange. The way Yoda speaks, implies Obi Wan isn't aware of Leia.

Well considering they were talking about another besides Luke defeating the Emperor and bringing balance to the force and peace to the galaxy, and just so happens that Vader kills the Emperor and brings balance to the force and peace to the galaxy then saying that he was talking about anyone else seems pretty naive and ridiculous.

It is Leia.



BEN: Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope.

LUKE: Yoda spoke of another.

BEN: The other he spoke of is your twin sister.

LUKE: But I have no sister.

BEN: Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous.

LUKE: Leia! Leia's my sister.

And yet when Obi Wan has his exchange with Yoda, it's as if Obi Wan doesn't know about Leia.

In ROTJ, Yoda told Luke there was another Skywalker. That's what that conversation with Obi-Wan was about. In ESB Yoda is talking to Obi-Wan saying that there is another hope besides Luke, which of course is Vader who kills the Emperor.
