Empire Strikes Back; something, something, something...

Yoda: No more training do you require. Already know you, that which you need.
Luke: Then I am a Jedi.
Yoda: No. Not yet. One thing remains. Vader. You must confront Vader. Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will.

The key words in that exchange are "need" and "require". Yoda thinks Luke's training at that point is adequate, certainly, and it better be because he's dying anyway. But that doesn't imply Luke's training was as complete as possible, or even as complete as Yoda would have preferred.

Yoda totally wrote Luke off when he left the first time. That's he even made it back was a surprise...Yoda was like "dude, aren't you dead yet?"

"Confront Vader."

"I did."

"And still alive you are? Surprising this is. More incompetent than I thought Vader is. A chance you might have afterall."

Ah, but he used Babylon 4 to go back in time to become Darth Malak after the events of the trilogy.
