As for the point about Luke becoming a Jedi really quickly: You have to remember, he is a descendant of the force himself. Anakin never had a father. His mother simply had him with no male intervention. (A virgence in the force). Although Luke had a mother, his father was born from the force, therefore Luke is a direct decedent of the force itself.

As such, he is able to harness and use it much more naturally than others. What might take another apprentice years of training, Luke could probably have a natural talent for. Also the hard trials he had to endure (like facing his father and the emperor himself)

However, that's not to say that Luke is considered a Jedi master. He becomes the last remaining living force wielding knight after Yoda dies of old age. Luke's own natural morals help him along his ascendancy as well. (Being a Jedi isn't simply about wielding the force, it's about knowing how life works and how justice should be served to preserve peace in the galaxy.)

Also, don't forget the time laps between episode V and episode VI. The entire time he was training.

Another way to think of it:
The Jedi way didn't just spawn out of nothingness. Someone or group had to have come up with the organization. Thought up the rules and standards and taught it to others. Luke just has to do that same thing and come up with the order on his own.



Thumbs Up Good summary.

I also thought this was pretty interesting:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber

In the early incarnations of the Star Wars story, lightsabers were not exclusive to the Jedi and Sith. In fact, they were very mundane, being used by Rebel and Imperial troopers alike. George Lucas then limited the weapon to only the Jedi & Sith so as to give the weapon a unique feel.

In the early rough draft of Star Wars in 1974, lightsabers were called "laserswords."
