Well that's what I was saying. In fact, it went a little something like this:

In the Shadows of the Empire book it says that Ben had left things for Luke to study from. This is how he learned to build his saber and, presumably, Force Choke those Gamorreans. Who knows what else he did for SEVERAL MONTHS there. Watch TV?

Right, because OB1 always went around choking people. We never see Anakin being taught that... he just did it when he was enraged and using the darkside. Luke doing that was done to show the similarities between him and Vader, along with his all black outfit. So basically, you all have no idea what he did there,save for building a lightsaber? Just say that then.

The most important thing you said there was "he gave up." Plus, he barely moved it. Not impressive. I think Yoda was more of getting ready to be impressed.
Go re-watch the movie. He lifted it several feet. This while he is already exhausted from intense training. Yeah, he gave up, but what he did accomplish is impressive enough on its own, especially when coupled with the fact that he got significantly more training afterwards.
