Wasn't this the explanation to how Luke hid from Vader during the duel in Return Of The Jedi (and Vader goaded him out of it by mentioning Leia)?

Where are you getting that idea from?


I have to agree with garhkal here. Hide Force Sensitivity doesn't have anything to do with finding someone in the dark, it's just hiding in the Force so that another Force-sensitive can't tell if you're Force-sensitive or not.

Being able to feel through the Force where in the galaxy a target might be is possible but hardly a sure thing. Hell, Vader spent months, if not years, searching for Luke after Yavin, so it's not like he could have found Luke right away through the Force. (Luke might have been untrained but he was still naturally strong in the Force being Anakin Skywalker's son, after all. Untrained or not, Luke's Force aura should have been like a beacon to Vader but it wasn't.) It was only after seeing the transmission from the probe droid on Hoth that Vader knew that Luke was there. Without that clue, Vader wouldn't have known to go to Hoth.

And remember when Luke and Co. sneaked onto Endor? Even though the Emperor knew that the Rebels sneaked onto Endor, Vader sensed Luke was on the Tydirium with them, but the Emperor didn't. And the Emperor is supposedly more powerful than Vader, especially after the duel on Mustafar, right? This shows that finding someone through the Force is unreliable at best.

TL;DR: the Force doesn't work like that.
