Regardless of Lucas' apparent preference for the old order (as headed by Yoda), which do you prefer? That is, if you were a Jedi, would you prefer to be living in Yoda's Order or Luke's Order?
I will start this off by saying I prefer Luke's Order, as it seems to adhere more closely to the original code.
Emotion, yet peace
Ignorance, yet knowledge
Passion, yet serenity
Chaos, yet harmony
Death, yet the Force.
This version is actually drastically different then the 'there is no x, there is y' version of the code, as it states that the things in the first column lead to things in the second column, not that things in the first column are bad things to be avoided.
This is how Luke justifies marriage...if you gain serenity through passion, and peace through emotion, then marriage makes a great deal of sense. But if there is no passion or emotion, celibacy is the only sensible option, as you are now trying to be Mr. Spock.
The old order says there is no ignorance...but if you don't admit ignorance, how do you learn anything? It is through admitting ignorance that knowledge is gained. It's more humble then claiming ignorance doesn't exist.
And it is through the chaos of conflict that harmony is achieved.
Most of all, Luke is human...so he reinterpreted the code into something that made sense for humans (and most other sentient beings) to follow.
So, there's my theory on why I'd rather be training in Luke's order then Yoda's.
