Re: Why wasn't Luke taught from an earlier age?

In Episode 5, Luke goes to Dagobah where he is told he is too old to be taught in the ways of the force and then it is later stated by Obi-Wan that he was their last hope. If he was their last hope why wasn't he taught about the force from an earlier age? Least then he would have been a lot better prepared and probably could done a lot better against Vader, but lets face it...he beat Vader cause he felt anger that Vader wanted to turn Leia to the dark side.
The answer is in Episode 3. They say they're going to hide the children from the Sith until the time is right.
Right time was waiting for good circumstances like there being a Rebellion, and Luke being an adult so he can join the rebellion while training.
Remember in ESB The Emporer and Vader both have sensed this strong disturbance in the Force from Luke's training. He just would not have survived long if that was sensed when he was a kid, and when there was no proper/organised resistance to the Empire.

Personally I don't think at the time ANH was made Lucas planned Jedi to be trained from an infant's age.

No, they said he was too old as well, in episode 2 and 3 they had much younger kids being trained

I like this. Once the rebellion was started, the Empire would sense Luke somewhere mixed in with the Rebels. That was how Vader knew the probe on Hoth was at the Rebel base, he detected Luke. That is bad in some ways (endangering the mission..) but in some ways it helped Luke train because he was usually defended by a Rebel military force around him. The Empire would need to attack an entire Rebel base if it wanted to get to him.
